Set up For reference, start with the tone controls fl at (straight-up, twelve o’clock). In this position, there is no equalization applied to your sound.
  • Page 13 1. Low volume At a low volume (just above conversation level) our ears are not very sensitive to bass and treble, so give the Low and High controls a good boost. Try three o’clock on the dial. 2. Medium volume At intermediate levels, when you need to raise your voice to be heard over the music, the human ear is quite sensitive to midrange.

  • Page 14: About Acoustic Feedback

    We have found that it is effective to tune out an instrument’s cavity reso- nance feedback with the Anti Feedback (notch fi lter) in the Loudbox Performer. For acoustic guitar this occurs at G# on the low E-string, or at about 100Hz. Turn the Anti Feedback knob to about 11 o’clock to dial out this resonance.
