9 BAND EQ
Engage the 9-Band Graphic Equalizer (toggle in the up position) and notice that though they are
the same controls, they react differently because of the FET
channel's personality.
To activate the 9 Band Equalizer via the Footcontroller, you
must have the front panel 3 position mini toggle switch in the OUT
position or in the MIX MODE position. There are two of these
switches, one per channel located to the right and left respectfully.
When one of the E.Q. 3 position switches is in the MIX MODE, that
E.Q. will automatically be engaged when the MIX MODE is
selected.

COMPRESSOR
Turn on the Compressor by selecting the 3:1 position on the Face Panel of the M-2000. With the
Threshold set per the example to the left, play a low note and sweep the Frequency control clockwise.
You will notice less compression as you pass 12 O' clock until there is none at all. Now reverse this
procedure. Play a high note (you may have to change the Threshold to maximize the effect for this
test) and sweep the Frequency control counter-clockwise. As you pass 12 O' clock you will again
hear the compression effect lessen. This "Shelving" (frequency specific) allows the compression of
the low frequencies without affecting the high frequencies and similarly the opposite.
To compress the lows and highs equally, set the Frequency control straight up to 12 O' clock and
adjust the Threshold control accordingly. Select the 5:1 ratio position for a much "thicker"
compression, remembering that the Threshold setting is crucial to obtaining a useful, musical
compression setting.
