Effect of the Shape Control

The HS 1200’s unique Shape control enables the sound of your bass

instrument to be enhanced at the touch of a button. When the front

panel Shape switch is pressed in, a special equalization curve is

activated that is designed to improve the sound of most electric bass

instruments. This curve provides moderate boost at certain frequency

areas and deep attenuation at other frequency areas. Furthermore, the

front panel Shape control adds a filter to a selected frequency area

within the Shape curve. As the Shape knob is turned clockwise, the

filter is imposed on higher frequency areas; as it is turned counterclock-

wise, the filter is imposed on lower frequency areas. At the fully

clockwise position, the filter is applied to the 1 kHz frequency area;

at the fully counterclockwise position, the filter is applied to the 80 Hz

frequency area.

Even when Shape is activated, the front-panel EQ controls remain

operational. When all three EQ controls are set to their “0” (flat)

position, they add no boost or attenuation to the preset Shape curve.

However, when any EQ controls are turned left or right of their

12 o’clock (“0”) position, their boost or attenuation effect is

superimposed upon the preset Shape curve. In this way, you can

customize the sound of the HS 1200 further still to complement your

particular bass instrument and playing style.

Note that, when the Shape switch is out, the EQ controls operate on

the “flat” signal coming from your bass (that is, there is no preset

equalization curve imposed).
