Using the Effects
MASTER
fig.0180
Adjusts the overall tonal quality and volume level.
LOW knob
Adjusts the tone of the lower range. Turning the knob to the
right boosts the lower frequencies; turning the knob to the
left cuts the lower frequencies.
MID knob
Adjusts the tone of the midrange. Turning the knob to the
right boosts the midrange; turning the knob to the left cuts
the midrange.
MID FREQ knob
Adjusts the center frequency for the tone set with the MID
knob. This frequency can be set in a range from 100 Hz to 2.5
kHz.
HIGH knob
Adjusts the tone of the upper range. Turning the knob to the
right boosts the high frequencies; turning the knob to the left
cuts the high frequencies.
LEVEL knob
Adjusts the volume.
* Turning the LEVEL knob up too much may cause the sound to
distort.
* When all effects are switched off and all knobs other than MID
FREQ are set to the center position, the input and output
levels are identical.
NOISE SUPPRESSOR
fig.0190
This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by bass
pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization
with the envelope of the bass sound (the way in which the
bass sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the
bass sound, and does not harm the natural character of the
sound.
NOISE SUPPRESSOR knob
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the
noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is
appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is
appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the bass
sound is as natural as possible.
* Turn the knob to OFF when not using the noise suppressor.
* High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there
being no sound when you play with your bass volume turned
down.
A Note About Bypass
The ME-50B allows you to switch between the state whereby
the effects are applied and the completely dry state, devoid
of all effects (bypass).
To learn how to do this, see “Tuning the Bass (Bypass/
Tuner)” (p. 25).
