So, "2-10-2" planes into the frequency response from the input so that it's flat, it does not boost being passive, but it just takes away signal to varying degrees/efficiencies at different frequencies?  Is that a fair statement?

Sounds fair to me.

Cool.  Thanks for the help.

Crazy idnit, Greg?


I wish I could remember exactly how Will Gunn explained it, but the words he used somehow got through to me that using the mid control on my F-1X at full-on was almost like a gain stage, and the bass and treble then became the tone-shaping tools. Since then, I have found that for most applications, my F-1X is set to (appox.) 1.75 Bass × 8.25 Mid × 2.50 Treb. with both the 'Bright' and 'Deep' switches disengaged. These settings are a kinda' "mid-scooped" starting point for my 5-string Alembics, but vary just a little for the 4-string models. For instance I might flick the 'Deep' switch, or boost the Bass a touch. They change quite a bit for other basses, depending upon which one is on deck.


The hardest thing for me, (because I seldom if ever load up all that gear for a gig) was replicating (enough of) that glorious sound with the Mesa Walkabout/Scout 15 I gig with regularly. It took some doing, but I found it.

Yeah...it's crazy and confusing to me for whatever reason.  I never imagined that tone knobs would be cut only, but i guess it makes sense.  On another note...those walkabouts are cool amps aren't they?  I have one here that i recently retired in favor of my Demeter Bass 400...Even the DI on those walkabouts sounds great, over the past year or so I had the chance to get a couple of live recordings made with the DI in use and was really surprised at how great it sounded.
