low q, mid q, hi q: the q switches determine the range of
frequencies affected by the equalizer on each band.
Wide q ( ) will affect a wide range of frequencies around
the selected frequency. q ≈ 1 affects about 1.5 octaves
Medium q ( ) will affect some frequencies around the
selected frequency. This is a good place to start for general
tone shaping. q ≈ 2.5 affects about 2/3 octave
Narrow q ( ) will only affect a very narrow range of
frequencies around the selected frequency. q ≈ 4 affects
about 1/3 octave
There is a q control for each of the three frequency bands
available on the ParaEq w/Boost.
lf, mf, hf: selects the center frequency around which
you’d like to boost or cut for each band.
Boost Stompswitch: Toggles on/off the boost section
of the unit. When the LED is shining, the boost is
applied to the signal.
