  • Page 14: Tone Tips

    Tone Tips Set up For reference, start with the tone controls flat (straight-up, twelve o’clock). In this position, there is no equalization applied to your sound. Begin at a very low volume and work your way up. As you turn up, try adjusting the Loudbox Per- former’s tone controls as recommended below.

  • Page 15: About Acoustic Feedback

    We have found that it is effective to tune out an instrument’s cavity resonance feedback with the Anti-Feedback (notch filter) in the Loudbox Performer. For acoustic guitar this occurs at G# on the low E-string, or at about 100Hz. Turn the Anti-Feedback knob to about 11 o’clock to dial out this resonance.
