In this channel the bass frequencies are shaped utilizing a pair of parametric type controls.
Two rotary controls, Bass and Bass Frequency enable you to
center in on the region of lows that you wish to enhance and
boost or cut them to your desire. Just to the right of these two
controls there is a mini-toggle switch that enables you to
"Shift" the region of bass that the Bass Frequency rotary
control affects.
As you might have guessed, this mini-toggle switch lowers
the action of the control when in the down position and
shifts the region up higher when the toggle is in the up
position. So that you have complete control of the entire
range of low frequencies, the Low and High ranges of the
Bass Shift overlap at 100Hz.. This overlap occurs at 5:30
(fully cranked) on the Bass Frequency control when the Bass Shift switch is in the Low position. When the Shift is switched to High
you will find this 100Hz. overlap at 7:30 (all the way down) on the Bass Frequency control. This difference in Bass controls in the
FET channel is crucial to its tighter attack and cut-off point characteristics, which is an integral part of the FET channel's
personality...making it strikingly different in nature to the Vacuum Tube channel.
