I just noticed at the local store that some of the new GSR 200's have a fourth knob with a tag around it labeled "Boom". I tried it out and it seems like it's just a volume boost. Anybody else have any more info ? I didn't see any mention of it at the ibanez site.
My ole SR300DX has an active circuit, too, it has bass&treeble boost, but in fact it only muddies up an already bad and weak tone... For a time, I was thinking of changing the equally bad (or even worse) pickups and electronics, but now I am rather thinking of selling it... I got too used to 6s, you know...
"Phat" is simply an active bass boost....30dB worth!!! Obviously aimed at beginning players who want more bottom end. Of course to reproduce a 30 dB boost cleanly would require 20 times the amp wattage to be reproduced
