i was reading about a bass that has an active preamp with high, mid, and low controls (plus a couple of boost switches). I was just wondering how the Alembic low pass filter compares and contrasts with separate high, mid, and low for sound shaping. Do Q-switches affect the mids as they boost the upper threshold of the filter setting? Does the combination of adjustments of the Q and filter act as an interactive high/mid/low combo filter? I'd be interested in any thoughts.
The low-pass filter is not an equalizer. There are a couple of threads in the FAQ and Must Reads section that explain this in sometimes technical terms, sometimes more practical (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=308.0 comes to mind).
Mica's post http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=276.msg1101#msg1101 is an excellent hands-on description on how to use the filters to find your tones.
Hi Adriaan,
Thanks for your reply. I know it's not an eq, I was just wonder if there were any comparisons.
Thanks.
