Adjusting the Sound to Achieve the Preferred
Tone Quality (Equalizer)
The RG-1F/RG-3F features a built-in, four-band digital equalizer.
You can also save up to four sets of equalization settings, each
one containing the settings you've chosen for achieving a
desired tonal quality.
An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency
ranges) to adjust the sound balance.
For example, you can boost the highs to get a crisper sound, or
boost the low end for a more powerful sound.
You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical
characteristics of the performance space.
If raising the values for separate frequencies causes the sound to
distort, you can use the "Master Gain" to control such distortion.
You can save this setting in the RG-1F/RG-3F's memory
using the Memory Backup function (p. 72).

frequency range. Generally,
this changes the level at and
below this frequency.
Adjusts the level of the low
frequency range to
midrange.
Frequency point in the low
frequency range to
midrange. This changes the
level of the specified
bandwidth centered on this
frequency.
Changes the bandwidth of
the low frequency range to
midrange.
The bandwidth affected by
the controls narrows as the
value increases.
Adjusts the level of the mid-
to high-frequency range.
Frequency point in the mid-
to high-frequency range. This
changes the level of the
specified bandwidth
centered on this frequency.
Changes the bandwidth of
the mid- to high-frequency
range.
The bandwidth affected by
the controls narrows as the
value increases.
Adjusts the level of the high
frequency range.
Frequency point in the high
frequency range. Generally,
this changes the level at and
over this frequency.
