Equalizer
Zarenbourg Equalizer has four fre-
quency bands that can be boosted or
cut. Effect button 1 [18] selects the
frequency bands.
When the Effect button is not lit, you
can adjust these frequency bands:
Effect control 1 [16]
controls Bass (120 Hz and below)
from -18 to +8 dB
Effect control 2 [17]
controls Treble (6 kHz and above)
from -18 to +8 dB
When Effect is lit, you can adjust these
frequency bands:
Effect control 1 [16]
controls Mid (around 750 Hz)
from -18 to +18 dB
Effect control 2 [17]
controls Presence (3000 Hz)
from -18 to +10 dB
In the middle position, there is no boost
or cut. This is subtly indicated by a dim
Effect indicator [14]. The Equalizer can
also be used to simulate an guitar am-
plifier. For example, you can cut Bass
and Treble while boosting Mid and
Presence.
Overdrive
You can deliberately overdrive the
sound to create a harsh and aggres-
sive tone similar to a rock guitar. Set
the amount of overdrive (Drive) using
Effect Control 1 [16], and adjust the
“color” of the sound with Effect Control
2 [17]. You can change between two
different types of overdrive using the
Effect button [18]: When the Effect
button is lit, a soft tube overdrive is
simulated. When the Effect button is
not lit, you get the sound of transistor
distortion.
