PEQ-450 Reference Manual 17
Step 3: Try some filtering
Find a "peaky" signal
A popular vocal effect is to filter the voice to a small frequency band.
This "telephone" effect is also called "futzing" and can be used on any
instrument or mix. Here’s how to get that sound on the PEQ-450:
1. Begin playing your source material. Turn the
INPUT knob
clockwise until the average level is around –15 on the
INPUT
meter.
2. Press the
LPF and HPF buttons on the channel you are using.
3. Set the
BAND 5 FREQ knob around 6kHz. Set the BAND 1 FREQ
knob around 800Hz.
4. Have the vocalist sing "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah".
Note that the band 1 and 5
GAIN and Q knobs do not function when
the
HPF or LPF buttons (respectively) are pressed.
