Thermionic Culture THE EARLYBIRD 2.2 2 Channel mic, pre amp with eq - Manual (Page 12)

If the Earlybird is configured as a line amp then it can
be a very useful valve EQ. We have had very positive
feedback from users who like to EQ their electric
guitars with the Earlybird mid range on mix down.
There is no mid cut control but a little mid cut at 700-
800Hz can be achieved by setting Bass Cut to 800Hz
and Bass Lift to near max.
When using the Pullet, the EQ of the Earlybird
provides the necessary bass end control. The active
top and mid sections can also be used, in combination
with the facilities and sound of the passive Pullet EQ.
The sonic characteristics of both types of EQ together
give endless possibilities.
5.5 Mono mic-amp with Pullet EQ
The Earlybird can also be used in mono with the
Pullet, as a mic amp with fully implemented EQ. This
can be achieved by using E.B. CH1 as the mic-amp
then taking the signal from E.B. CH1 OUT, into Pullet
CH1 IN
, from Pullet CH1 OUT into E.B. CH2 Pullet
IN
. This arrangement makes the Earlybird / Pullet
combination a very versatile one.
