4. MID LVL Knob Boosts or cuts the MID EQ. Turn the MID LVL knob clockwise
from its noon position to boost the MID EQ frequency. Turn MID LVL counter-
clockwise to cut MID EQ. Set MID LVL to its center position for a at MID EQ
response.
5. MID FREQ Knob Adjusts the MID EQ center frequency, which is boosted or cut
by the MID LVL knob. The frequency range of this knob is 240Hz to 3.3kHz.
Pro Tip: For a brighter sound, try cutting the low MIDs by setting MID FREQ to
10 o’clock and MID LVL to 11 o’clock.
6. Q Switch Sets the resonance or bandwidth of the MID EQ. Q set to LOW
mode yields an EQ that sounds broader or rounder and affects a larger
range of frequencies. In HIGH mode, the EQ sounds sharper or peakier, af-
fecting a narrow range of frequencies.
7. TREBLE Knob Boosts or cuts frequencies above 3.2kHz. Turn the TREBLE
knob clockwise from noon to boost the high end. Turn the knob counter-
clockwise to cut highs. Set TREBLE to its center position for a at treble
response.
8. BASS Knob Boosts or cuts frequencies below 240Hz. Turn BASS clockwise
from the noon position to boost the low end. Turn the knob counterclockwise
to cut. Leave BASS in its center position for a at bass response.
9. FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED The footswitch engages or bypasses the effect.
The status LED lights when the effect is engaged and is off while in bypass.
10. BYPASS MODE SLIDE SWITCH Removing the bottom cover allows access
to the BYPASS Mode slide switch, located near the footswitch. The left position,
TRUE, sets the LPB-3 to True Bypass mode (factory default); the right position,
BUFFERED, sets the LPB-3 to Buffered Bypass mode. In True Bypass, the Input
jack is directly connected to the Output jack and is not connected to any
circuitry. In Buffered Bypass, the input signal goes through a high-quality
op-amp buffer, and then is connected to the Output jack.
11. INPUT Jack Audio input jack. Input impedance 1MΩ; Max In: +20dBu
12. OUTPUT Jack Audio output jack. Output impedance 660Ω; Max Out: +22dBu
13. 9VDC Power Jack Insert the output plug of the supplied AC Adapter
into the power jack. The LPB-3 requires 120mA at 9VDC on a center-
negative plug. Do not exceed 12VDC at the power jack. The LPB-3 does
not take batteries.
