Help With Ashdown EQ

On the ashdown mag c410t-300 combo it has bass/mid/treble.
In between it has 230Hz and 1.6KHz
Is this low mid and hi mid?
If so if set at noon is it flat or is it flat all the way to left?
Also if anyone has the combo how good are the bright/deep/sub buttons adding to the sound?
Thanks
 
Yes, lowmid and high mid. If it's a knob, middle would be "no effect. Middle on a slider would also be no effect.

If it's a mid sweep, you pick the frequency you want to affect with one knob, then boost or cut it with the other. Setting the level knob in the middle would be no effect regardless of where the frequency knob is set.

Pic or diagram of the controls would help.

I had the 300mag head. as I remember the low mid shift was finicky, I had it around 9-10 o'clock position and the high shift around 12. Also because the amp has a gritty tone to start with - I would crank the master volume really high, and just crack the pre-gain to get the volume I needed. This was the best I found for a clean, warm, well rounded tone. I had the boost buttons engaged too, but only used the suboctave thing on occasion. Something like this as I remember-
