Note: The circuit and thus the sound of the machine is an accurate replica of the first production run from 20 years ago. The Mk2 refers to only minute changes in the outer design Introduction Operation of the FB-14 is simple and straightforward. None the less we recommend even to experienced users to quickly browse through these notes, in order to achieve optimum results.

Why: Why rotary pots and no faders ? Although faders may have their special advantages (simultaneous operation of multiple bands, visibility) a important argument against using them in the FB-14 is the non-linear curve of the circuit used (meaning all audible changes happen only near either end of the faders travel). Since this circuit is an important part the FB-14s special sound, we had to find another solution, which is to get pots with a special curve (custom made by reputed manufacturer Alps).
