It achieves the full band spectrum for either pickup source. In addition it is a signal booster which compensates for low output pickups and will also provide ample drive for any amplifier. The input level and gain controls are designed to precisely match the pickup output to an amplifier.The line output is strong enough to use directly into a power amplifier or a powered speaker.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span face=\"ArialMT, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: ArialMT, sans-serif;\"><span size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\">The 5-band EQ is a high precision equalizer which means that each boost or cut level is identical to each adjacent band. Plus the Q factor of each band is identical. This makes it far easier for the player to accomplish the tone that they are pursuing. These frequency bands were carefully chosen for the voice of a bass so that the user will be able to adjust the EQ rapidly to get the desired sound.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span face=\"ArialMT, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: ArialMT, sans-serif;\"><span size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\">The DI output is of the highest audio quality obtainable providing a match to even the finest recording studio mixing consoles and live sound systems.
