Behringer EQ700 Ultimate 7-Band graphic Equalizer

Finding it hard to get the perfect sound from your guitar Maybe your guitar gets lost in the mix Do you have major feedback issues with your acoustic The problems not your guitar-you need an equalizer You can instantly improve the sound of your guitar with a little help from the EQ700Most performers dont have a clue about what good equalization can do for their sound Maybe youve heard the old maxim, Make a sine-wave to get really good sound, or Make a smiley-face, that always works Sadly, this qualifies as advice from the uninformed Just as every room is unique, so is every musical instrument Even guitars made by the same manufacturer, using the same materials, on the same day can vary a great dealPeople provide a good example of this principal-although we are all similar, we dont all wear the same size shoes, or even have the same color eyes There is no one perfect equalization curve that fits every scenario equalization is dynamicMost acoustic and electric guitar energy lies between 100 Hz and 64 kHz Even slight changes in this range can cause a tremendous variation in overall energy and impact, as the human ear is especially sensitive to this rangeBoosting frequencies around 200 Hz – 400 Hz often provides warmth and body, while boosting frequencies in the 32 kHz – 64 kHz range adds clarity to clean guitar signals Depending on the amount of distortion, this same range can ruin the sound of an overdriven electric guitar by adding harsh harmonicsOne of the most common mistakes is adding too much bass to acoustic guitars If the low frequencies are boosted excessively, acoustics can easily get lost in the overall mix Most acoustic guitars are also prone to feedback in the 200 Hz – 400 Hz rangeA general rule of thumb-the best results are often achieved by finding and reducing the frequency bands that are offending, and then turning up the overall volume, rather than boosting on
