Your slide show is pretty sweet. What does the other toggle do ? I know one is for the LED. This bass is sweet !
I sure hope "genstormbringer" buys it !

Its called a Q switch. Basically, the filter control is a low pass filter; as you roll it back it lowers the point at which it passes low frequency signals and blocks high frequency signals. To quote Mica, "the range is from 350Hz-6KHz. Wherever you set the filter, only frequencies below that cutoff point are passed." The Q switch works in concert with the filter and provides an 8db boost at the cut off frequency you've set with the filter. When the switch is off you get a flat response on to the filter setting. Again to quote Mica, "the Q affects mainly the attack portion of the note".

DUUHHH !! What was I thinking ? I assumed that your Essence was like an Epic and didn't have a Q switch !
