FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

POWER indicator illuminates whenever the appropriate power supply is connected to the unit with the correct line

voltage source.

BYPASS switch and indicator: When the bypass switch is in the in position the red BYPASS LED illuminates and the unit

is in the BYPASS mode. In this mode the audio signal is routed directly from the INPUT to the OUTPUT jacks without
passing through any active circuitry (often referred to as hard-wire bypass). Use this switch to compare equalized and
unequalized material. In the event of power failure, the GE 130 automatically goes into BYPASS.

OVERLOAD indicator illuminates if any section of the GE 130 is within 3 dB of clipping. Occasional blinking of this

LED is acceptable, but if it remains on more than intermittently, turn down either the equalizer’s LEVEL control or reduce
the output level of the preceding component to avoid distortion.

LEVEL control sets the Level of the signal coming into the GE 130. Turn this control down if the OVERLOAD LED

lights up steadily (meaning too strong an Input signal). Since actual unity gain depends on varying slider settings (which is
why we have not marked a unity gain position on the front panel), use the BYPASS switch to determine the exact unity gain
position of this LEVEL control by comparing EQ and BYPASS loudness.

Filter Level slide controls: Each of these sliders control the output level of each of the 30 bandpass filters.
