how do you use the equalizer on a bass amp?

Question

i think the question is pretty self explanitory.

but i was just wondering exactly how you would go about using those 3 knobs (low, medium, high). because i was trying to figure it out, and it wasn't quite working.

answers would be much appreciated!!!!!
thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

Start with all three controls at their mid positions.

How does the system sound to you?

If it sounds satisfactory then there is no point in messing around with the settings.

If, on the other hand, you think that either the low, the medium or the high range of frequencies is either too weak or too loud, compared to the other/s, you can increase or decrease their volume to suit yourself.

In most sytems/amplifiers they're nothing but a gimmick. They are put there because people think they getter "better" sound by fiddling around with the frequency response.

At the end of the day let your ears decide.
