Ictineo Documentation/Manual

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if there is a document/manual that defines the Southampton Ictineo's controls? I discovered the text below on [Invalid or Expired Link Removed], but that's it.
  • BODY and TONE controls for fine-tuning your sound.
  • Plenty of volume, plus a loud BOOST switch.
  • An ULTRABASS switch to crank the low end.
  • 600 Hz boost, 1 khz boot, and 250 hz dip, all switch selectable, for carving out your frequency range.
I made the following assumptions:
  • The 600 Hz and 1KHz Boosts apply a volume boost to their respective frequencies.
  • The 250 HZ Dip applies a volume reduction to this frequency.
  • Any switch set to SUB uses the default values.
  • VOL controls volume.
Here are my questions:
  • What do the BODY and TONE knobs specifically control? The names are common, but just abstract enough to elicit confusion?
  • What does the FLAT switch control?
  • What frequencies do the ULTRABASS switch amplify/enhance?
  • How does the BOOST switch affect the other controls?
I know that I can get a whole mess of awesome sounds from this little box from fiddling around with every knob-switch permutation, but the engineer in me needs more precision!

Thanks!
