- Start with all knobs at the 12 o'clock position for a neutral starting point.
- Ayarla KAZANMAK knob to achieve your desired level of distortion. Higher settings will produce more aggressive tones.
- Kullanın HACİM knob to match the output level of the pedal to your bypassed signal or to boost your signal for solos.
6.2. Tone Shaping with EQ and Switches
The 3-band EQ and specialized switches provide extensive control over your sound:
Şekil 6.1: The HYNOTONE ARES pedal highlighting the Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ controls, which function similarly to a tube amplifier's tone stack.
- BASS, MID, TREBLE Knobs: Adjust these controls to sculpt your frequency response. These act like a traditional tube amp's tone stack, allowing for significant tonal variations.
- BITE Anahtarı: Engage this switch for a pronounced mid-range character, adding a raw, gritty texture suitable for cutting through a mix. Disengage for a smoother, less aggressive mid-response.
- TIGHT Switch: Activate this switch to tighten the low-end frequencies, resulting in a more focused and articulate sound. This is particularly effective for palm-muted riffs and maintaining clarity in low tunings.
- HIZLANDIRMA Anahtarı: This switch simultaneously tightens the low end and boosts the mid-range, creating a modern, aggressive tone ideal for heavy riffs and solos, especially with extended-range guitars.
