Bedienung des Pedals

The STRICH TEN BAND EQ Pedal provides precise control over your instrument's tone. Familiarize yourself with the sliders to sculpt your sound effectively.

• Frequenzbänder: The pedal features ten horizontal sliders, each corresponding to a specific frequency band: 31.25Hz, 62.5Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 8KHz, and 16KHz. These cover the full spectrum of guitar and bass frequencies.
• Gain/Attenuation Control: Each frequency slider allows you to boost or cut the signal for that specific frequency by up to ±12dB. The markings on the pedal indicate 0dB (flat), ±6dB, and ±12dB. Adjusting these sliders up will boost the frequency, while adjusting them down will cut it.
• Pegelregler: The "LEVEL" slider on the far right controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Use this to match the volume of your bypassed signal or to provide a volume boost for solos.
• True Bypass-Fußschalter: The footswitch engages or disengages the equalization effect. When disengaged (bypassed), the pedal allows your instrument's signal to pass through without any tonal alteration, preserving the original tone.
