| I'm a new member so this may have been discussed before, but I need to know how to use the EQ on a Webb 6-14-E amp. This is the original one made in the 70's. When I turn on the EQ, the volume drops. Any suggetions? |

Do not turn on the EQ. I have the same experience so I leave it off. Work more with the mid and high end and turn the 3 position switch to the far right. Many do not do this and many wonder why they can not get the sound they want.

I can am using a PP with light pickups but the sound is more than acceptable. I could make you a short video if you do not come up with anything you like. |

Jim, Larry is correct;___I use my Webb exactly the same way that he does. I have the three position switch all the way to the right, The bass all the way to 10, and I adjust the midrange and treble to tune in the tone I like with the EQ turned off. I plug into the top (high) input.
Am I correct in assuming that the five EQ controls, only control the VOLUME of their specific frequency ranges? It would make sense that there would be a drop in volume when the EQ is turned on; but I still cannot determine why I cannot get a good tone utilizing the EQ.

Most of the guys I know (myself included)
go with the middle position on the selector
switch, but try each one for yourself.
It depends on what you're plugging into it.
As far as the EQ goes, if you
set them all to +3, then toggle the bypass
switch on & off, you'll see it's nearly
the same volume either way. The EQ
actually works better at cutting
certain frequencies, than boosting them.
(and Rick....your assuming right). |
