Overview

The EMG BQC System is a complete control system for bass guitars. Active Balance, Master Volume and EQ circuits are included. The EQ effects are illustrated in the graphs on the next page. They allow you separate control over bass, midrange, and treble. Rotate the controls clockwise to boost, counterclockwise to cut. There is a center detent for flat response.The mid-range control has a variable frequency knob that allows you to sweep through the mid-frequency range from 100Hz to 1KHz. This selects the frequency to boost or cut. The graphs on page 2 depict the frequency response of the controls.
