Using The Eq Controls; Setting Bass Mid, And Treble; Using The Semi-Parametric Eq Controls - Eden Nemesis NA320 Owner's Manual

Using the EQ Controls – Before you begin to twiddle knobs, let's talk
about a few things. Excessive boosting of one or more EQ frequencies may
cause an overload in the EQ section. If this happens, the EQ Clip light will
engage. This is a Very Bad Thing and needs to be corrected immediately.
Remember, too, that our EQ controls are active, and are meant to turn both
ways – not just UP! This means that you can enhance a certain frequency
spectrum either by boosting that frequency or by cutting the adjacent
frequencies. This latter method has the advantage of maximizing potential
headroom.
If possible, step well forward of your rig to get a better idea of how you will
sound in the room. You may be surprised at how different you sound once
you step away from the speakers.
NOTE: Many players rely on the Enhance Control (and perhaps a little
Midrange Massage) to get their sound. This method leaves the Bass and
Treble controls available to dial in to a particularly difficult room. Just
something to keep in mind, ok?
Setting Bass Mid, and Treble – OK, now it's time to set the EQ, beginning
with the Bass and Treble controls. These controls cover a fairly broad
frequency spectrum and a little goes a long way. Adjust these controls up or
down as needed. We suggest playing a few notes in various areas of the neck
so you can hear what your adjustments have done across the fretboard.
Using the Semi-Parametric EQ Controls – Adjusting the Semi-Parametric
control set allows you to focus in on particular frequencies to achieve your
desired tone. We suggest you spend some time experimenting with these
controls to learn more about how they can affect your sound. Here's an easy
way to do that:
Begin with the frequency control fully counterclockwise. Turn the Level
control to approximately 9:00. Now, while playing, rotate the frequency
control to the right a little at a time. You should be able to easily hear the
frequencies this first set of controls affects.
Now, cut the Level control to approximately 3:00 and do the same thing.
