5 BAND GRAPHIC EQUALIZER : ( Nomad 100 Only ) If you have purchased the Nomad 100 you have probably already realized
that the bonus gift of the On-Board 5 Band Graphic Equalizer is well worth the omission of the beautiful, but stoic, Nomad logo. This long
time Boogie tradition is a powerful shaping tool and when added to the already
fully evolved Channels of the Nomad, any sound you can dream of is at your
fingertips. It may be assigned to the signal path globally or footswitched In and
Out at will.
The five wide-band sliders offer the full spectrum of frequencies in a guitar-
friendly format that is infinately easier and faster to use than either narrow-
band graphic or parametric type equalizers. There is a more gentle blend be-
tween the regions and therefore less likelyhood of holes in the tone and re-
sponse, resulting in a musically smart system of shaping guitar
sounds...especially overdrive sounds.
NOTE: When the EQ is switched out there will be a small amount ( 3% max. ) of its effect still on the signal. This small amount should
cause no problem and is considered normal. This is essential to achieve seamless footswitch operation.
Here are a few examples of how we have seen players utilize this powerful shaping device, with the classic “V” curve and its amazing
widening effect being the most popular for almost any style.
