EQ Shift knob

[Lord Trau]

Hey guys.

I have a Invalid Link Removed and it has four EQ knobs: Low, Mid, Shift, High. What exactly does the Shift knob do?

The product description calls it "Mid Shift", so obviously it has something to do with the Mid.

it shifts the mid to a more precise freq. to be cut or boosted with the "mid" knob. it's probably in the the 200hz-2khz range give or take.

Alrighty, thanks.

the manufacturer chose two different frequencies that the "mids" knob will affect. crank the mids up and down, while playing maybe your A string. listen to the sound change, click the shift button and the frequency that the mids affects will be a little higher or lower in frequency.

oops I was wrong, your mid is semi-parametric... from the max115 manual:
"This control provides a semi-parametric EQ that sets the frequency at which the mid control cuts or boosts. Rotating the control clockwise from left to right increases this frequency; it can be set anywhere between 200 Hz and 2 kHz."

if the shift was a push button, then my statement would be true.

Hm, I see. Did you find an online version of the manual? Guitar Center was not kind enough to provide me with one (or they just forgot to).
