  • Page 2 FILTER-BASED EQ-02 SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL NOTES If you are used to the normal cut and boost type of EQ using the ACG pre-amp will require a different approach in order to get the most from it. First a few notes on the principals behind the design and then a few suggestions on how to get the best from it.
  • Page 3 FILTER-BASED EQ-02 SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL VOLUME/BLEND STACK The volume of the instrument is controlled by the upper ring on the stack while the lower ring controls the mixing of the outputs from the two pickups. Turn ACW for the bridge pickup alone and CW for the neck pickup.
  • Page 4 FILTER-BASED EQ-02 SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL TREBLE FILTER STACK The treble stack is there to address the top end of the spectrum as the filters cut off below the very highest frequencies you can get from roundwound strings. Here we’re talking about the high end ‘sizzle’. The frequency control also goes well down into the upper midrange around 1kHz.
  • Page 5 FILTER-BASED EQ-02 SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL WIRING KEY FOR THE MAIN BOARD This board is common to all configurations. Filter stack connection is now duplicated on the reverse of the board. 1. Cold (-) input for neck pickup. 2. Hot (+) input for neck pickup.
  • Page 6 FILTER-BASED EQ-02 SYSTEM INSTRUCTION MANUAL CONNECTING THE POTS The EQ02 preamp should have the individual Volume (marked V) and Blend (marked B) pots already connected to the circuit board, via their triple wires and plugs. If for any reason they are not connected, insert their plugs into respective sockets, making sure orientation is correct.
