The High control of the REX is xed with a 2kHz corner
frequency, with a gain range of -10 to +10dB. Again, this is a
xed shelving type control, which means everything above the
corner frequency is boosted or cut. Otherwise known as the
treble knob. If you think your banjo may be too bright (which it
probably is), turn this knob counterclockwise. If you think your
electric 2 string gourd needs a little more bite, turn this knob
clockwise. If you’re not sure, start turning it one way or the
other until it sounds better.

EQ BASICS
With such a simple EQ section, it’s easy to make quick, broad
adjustments to your microphone’s signal. You won’t really
be able to chase down and make surgical adjustments to a
particular trouble spot, but you’ll nd with a little practice
you can easily adjust your tone in a useful way. If your sound
really requires a more surgical approach (i.e. a parametric EQ
control), you can easily insert one into the FX loop.
As with all EQ settings, the more you know about what
your instrument needs the better o you will be making
adjustments on the y. We recommend you get to know these
controls and experiment a lot with them to nd what works
best.
7.5 BOOST
Need to rock a wee bit harder? This knob will let that happen.
It sets the amount your signal is boosted when you activate
the ‘BOOST’ footswitch. Fully counter-clockwise is zero boost
added, fully clockwise adds +10dB of boost. The boost is after
the FX loop and aects both the DI and line outputs.
As you know, adding boost can easily send a microphone in
to feedback territory, so start small. If you need to boost your
output, start with a gentle boost amount and work your way
upwards. If you start to hear stage feedback or are overloading
the input at the console, then you’ll need to back it o.
7.6 BOOST SWITCH
Yep. This switch activates the Boost circuit, at whatever level
you set with the boost knob. This circuit is global, so the
boosted signal will be coming out of every output. For those
about to rock, you’ll need to activate this switch rst before we
will salute you. The LED will light up AMBER for awesome.
7.7 MUTE SWITCH
This switch mutes the DI and AMP outputs. This enables you
to quickly and easily cut your signal to the FOH or stage amp
and tune or sneeze without having to have the soundperson
mute your channel. When MUTE is active, the adjacent LED
illuminates RED.
