Tone Control EQ Freqs
« on: Time Format »

Anyone know what the Lo, Mid, Hi, and Pres EQ frequencies are in the MP-2 Tone Controls?  The manual I have doesn't say.....

According to this (http://web.archive.org/web/20040422213430/http://adadepot.com/adagear/gearpages/preamps/ADA-MP-2.htm) Q and centre freq move around depending on voice.

Well that's no help then.  ;)   But thanks for reminding me of that info.    I guess I just wanted to know how the frequencies of the Tone Controls get on with the listed Graphic EQ frequencies.  Seems silly that they might feature the same frequencies as each other (if indeed they do)

The MP-2 (and also the classic) have 2 different tone controls depending on the voicing you choose.One is for clean sounds and one for the dirty sounds.If you realy want i could try to calculate them?

If it's not too much trouble.  I think it would be some helpful info to have available, especially for recording/mixing purposes.  Thanks!  :bow:

Thank you MJMP!     Seems at least 800Hz is indeed shared by the Tone Control and Graphic EQ. 

I became interested in this while setting up my MP-2 main presets into my QuadTube, and finding that what I hear and feel from my rig at rehearsal isn't the same as what is going on in my home studio.  Obviously, there's a huge difference in volume and the speakers being used, so I may need to re-evaluate my home settings.

Sure!  Then both info can be archived/sticky'd for future use.   Thanks again!   :bow:

Yes they are,but you see a difference in the Q factor or bandwith of the filter.The Q factor of the presence is almost half of the Q factor of the treble which means the bandwith is almost double.
