The Master volume controls the overall volume of the unit. The Pre-Vol controls the amount of gain between the two internal gain stages. This acts as a \"drive\" or \"gain\" control, adding more grit, distortion, and even fuzz as you increase the gain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Step control increases the gain of each preamp stage in five stages. Rotating the Step knob from left-to-right will increase the gain by the following: 1st is +18 dB, 2nd is +23 dB, 3rd is +28 dB, 4th is +33 dB, 5th is +39 dB.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Colour Box V2 has a new Hi \/ Lo switch to control the amount of clean headroom you have available. In the Lo mode, you will easily be able to get ultra clean sounds without breakup. Lo Mode is excellent for tone shaping when distortion is not needed. In the Hi mode, the Colour Box V2 will distort much more readily, giving you a broad spectrum of overdrive, distortion, and fuzz sounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the Hi \/ Lo gain switch, there is a -20dB pad switch on the right side of the Colour Box V2. This function only works when in XLR input mode and can help tame the volume for high output microphones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOST POWERFUL EQ YET\u003cbr\u003eThe EQ section in blue has three new Shift controls correlating to its standard Treble, Middle and Bass controls. The classically labeled EQ knobs adjust the amount of frequencies that get boosted and cut, while the Shift knobs adjust the range of frequencies that the Treble, Middle, and Bass knobs control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEQ Functions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTreble Knob - Cut\/Boost Control +\/-15dB flat at noon. CCW cuts, CW boosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Knob - Cut\/Boost Control +\/- 10dB flat at noon. CCW cuts, CW boosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBass Knob - Cut\/Boost Control +\/-15dB flat at noon. CCW cuts, CW boosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrequencies controlled by EQ Shift Knobs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTreble Shift - 2kHz to 30kHz – CCW lowers the center Freq, CW raises the center Freq.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiddle Shift - 150Hz to 2.4kHz – CCW lowers the center Freq, CW raises the center Freq.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBass Shift - 20Hz to 440Hz – CCW lowers the center Freq, CW raises the center Freq.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hi-Pass section is enabled by the toggle switch below the Hi-Pass knob. Just flip it up to engage the Hi-Pass knob. The HPF is a 2nd order 6dB per octave highpass filter. The -3dB cutoff freq (the frequency at which the filter starts to act) can be adjusted from 160Hz to 650Hz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXLR AND OUTPUT\u003cbr\u003eThe Colour Box V2 has a combination XLR and 1\/4\" input jack to use either an instrument or microphone. Select your input with the input selector switch on the right side of the pedal labeled INST\/XLR.","brand":"JHS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53028814225717,"sku":"650415212224","price":645.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/5384\/5301\/files\/Color-Box-V2.jpg?v=1782480521","url":"https:\/\/musiquediplomate.com\/products\/jhs-colour-box-v2","provider":"Centre de Musique Diplomate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
