Chapter 3. Performance
■ Adjusting the Sound to Achieve the Preferred
Tone Quality (Equalizer)
The RG-3 features a built-in, three-band digital equalizer.
An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to
adjust the sound balance for the overall performance.
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 Level” (see below) to control such distortion.
1.
Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its indicator to light.
2.
Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to
display the EQUALIZER screen.

Value Description
Master
(Master Level)
You can temper the distortion in the sound by lowering the level.
Raising the level too much may cause the sound to become dis-
torted.
L (Low)
Low-frequency range.
This is the range of frequencies for instruments like drums, bass,
organ, guitar and strings.
M (Middle)
Midrange.
This is the range of frequencies where most instrument sounds
are concentrated.
H (High)
High-frequency range.
These frequencies add brilliance to the sound.
You can save this setting in
the RG-3’s memory using the
Memory Backup function
(p. 73).
