Does anyone know the exact values, for the Bass and Treble boost/cut of the Excel, In DB + Hz please (Q value would be a bonus...).

Thanks,
LG

Hi Louis-Gino,

Here is a plot of the bass and treble controls.

Hello Mica,

Thanks, I appreciate it. I can't see very well on the chart though, I think I can see a wide peak around 500Hz if you cut the low + mid it looks like (which is good news for me!), and it also looks like it goes 20Hz to 20k flat, when the bass + treble are at zero. On the boost side, the bass looks like it's peaking wide around 20Hz up to 100Hz then rolls off, and the treble doesn't seem to move up too much.

I can say that I much prefer to see a graph like the one you linked to, it's more accurate and easy to visualize "aurally".

Would you have a bigger version of it? And while I am asking, would you have something similar for the Low pass Filter and 3 positions Q-switch?

I also wanted to mention that I don't receive the mails from the forum, I guess there must be some problems. I did try a search BTW, regarding the bass/treble response, but the search engine didn't work, last night and today.

Thanks,
LG

By the same token, would there be any plot to compare the Fatboy PU next to the AXY/MXY, that would be very interesting and valuable to many members.

And as I said, I'd be pleased to see a plot for the Filter and Q-switch, as well as a bigger version of the one you posted (not very clear).

Many regards,
LG

Sorry, I don't have a bigger picture of that graph right now. I had previously posted that image on the club, and that was the original size.

I have a chart of the Series I that I will post sometime soon.

Regarding club emails, I see that your profile is set to receive replies to your own posts only. Usually this works, but sometimes if the traffic is very heavy, they are not processed.

Regarding my profile, I haven't ticked the option "My own posts", I chose the other one; "Replies to my posts"...
There are two options are they both the same?

I am confused now, what should I tick? I only want to receive emails that I participate to, or when I star a thread.
Not that I don't want to hear from everyone ;) but I wouldn't have the time really (well, at least one of my infamous player's intention, was to have us all under one file Musically + 24/7...).

prefs

As for the plots, Series 1 would be great of course, thanks.
I hope that one day we will see something for the PUs and the Filters + Q-switches, I now it's a bit much asking, but at least, it will be much appreciated by myself. I know, I am the "Nerd" here...

I must confess that I do not personally use e-mail notification, but I know many users do. The selection you've chosen seems to be what you describe as what you want.

If you've never received an e-mail notification from the club, I would check your spam folder to see if they are being routed there. If they are, you need to modify your spam filter settings. Probably it would be better to direct any further troubleshooting of the email system to direct emails or a new thread, since this is pretty off-topic to the thread title.

Fine, I just mentioned it to you because you answered here. I didn't say that I did not receive any email, just some of them. I checked the filters etc. it wasn't that. But that's ok, not a big deal.

Sorry to be off-topic (again).
