QUALIZERS
The 2112 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 con-
trol. 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 2112 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
HERE ARE A FEW SIMPLE EXAMPLES:
If you want to hear more of a bass guitar part, don't pump up the bottom end! Push up the mids and mid/highs
a little. Adding more bottom end will just make things more muddy.
If you feel your Guitar tone is just a little dull, try adding some high frequency boost to just a few instruments
in the mix don't just push up all the Guitar's' high frequencies, because it will quickly be too bright.
If you are having a hard time being heard in the mix, don't make it louder. Listen carefully and see if there is
another instrument that is conflicting with your Guitar. Adding a little EQ in the right spot of the less dominant
guitar will allow it to speak a little easier through the rest of the music.

RAPHIC QUALIZERS
Graphic EQs give you control of the levels for fixed or pre-selected frequencies (bands) that are evenly spaced.The
2112 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 con-
trol of the sound.
