Equalizers

The 2120 VGS has a broad selection of equalizer modules to cover virtually any need. If you need bigger guitar tone, the EQs will give it to you.
Both mono and stereo modules are available. Remember that mono equalizers connected to stereo sources will always sum the stereo signal
together for equalization (thus eliminating the stereo image). If you need to maintain the stereo image, use a stereo equalizer module.
The Parametrics allow you to cover very specific regions of the sound spectrum with extreme precision and control. Up to 6 bands of either
stereo, or mono parametric equalization are available. The Graphic equalizers use 1/3, 2/3, or 1 2/3 octave ISO-standard frequency centers.
Equalization or EQ is probably one of the most valuable tools the 2120 offers. EQ allows you to change the level of certain frequencies of a
sound, and it comes in two different basic flavors: graphic and parametric. Graphic is the most common and easiest to use, but the parametric
offers much more flexibility and power.
When do I use EQ? This may seem overly simplistic, but you should use EQ whenever your ears tell you to use it! However, you need to
remember that EQ can do more harm than good when not used carefully. The EQ can take that thin and "Clangy" sounding Guitar and
add all of the low end in the world that your heart may desire. This can also be used on the other side. If you have a song that needs tight
and bright rhythm guitar, you can use the EQ modules to take out the Lows and build up your mids
Graphic Equalizers
Graphic EQs give you control of the levels for fixed or pre-selected frequencies (bands) that are evenly spaced. The 2120 VGS offers 8 and 15
band stereo and mono GEQs and a 31 band mono GEQ. They all cover the complete range of frequencies, but the spacing between the 31
bands is much closer than the 8 bands, therefore offering more exact control of the sound.
