Behringer - BEQ700 - 7-Band Equalizer Bass Graphic Pedal

Brand NEW!  
Applying EQ to Bass Instruments

When frequencies from 20 Hz - 200 Hz are boosted or cut, the bass is affected dramatically, since sounds in this range are often felt, as well as being heard. Boosting frequencies within this range can increase the sensation of power and punch. Conversely, reductions in this range can weaken or muddy low-frequency response.

The fundamental notes of most basses fall within the 40 Hz - 1000 Hz range. Even slight changes in this range can cause a tremendous variation in overall bass energy and impact, as the human ear is especially sensitive to this range. Boosting frequencies around 200 Hz often gives the bass warmth and body, without a loss of definition, while boosting frequencies in the 500 Hz to 1000 Hz range tend to make bass sounds brittle. Often, better EQ results can be achieved by reducing the frequency bands that are off ending, and by turning up the overall volume rather than boosting one specific band.

How the specific frequency bands of the BEQ700 can shape your sound
50 Hz (sub-bass)
Boost: To thicken up sub-bass content, which is mostly felt rather than heard
Cut: To eliminate stage “rumble” and sub-bass content that can rob sound system power
120 Hz (soft bass)
Boost: To enhance the lower end of the bass spectrum
Cut: To reduce the tendency of low frequency content to overwhelm a small room
400 Hz (hard bass)
Boost: To enhance the “hard” bass punch of fundamental tones
Cut: To reduce punch for better linkage with the kick drum
500 Hz
Boost: or Cut: To control clarity and warmth
800 Hz
Boost: To add an aggressive edge to the overall bass sound
Cut: For reducing somewhat nasal or horn-like content
4.5 kHz
Boost: To make the bass cut through the mix. Creates a more distinctive plucked tone
Cut: To eliminate harshness
10 kHz
Boost: To bring out the upper harmonics and add edge to the overall bass tonality
Cut: Apply a cut to reduce harsh high-frequency content or hiss
