Expedition EX30 Guided Tour 1: Equalizer - These controls allow you to shape your sound by boosting or cutting the amount of bass (at 100 Hz) or treble (at 10 kHz) by up to 15 dB. A center detent in each knob indicates no boost or cut (that is, flat response). As each knob is turned clockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is boosted; as it is turned counterclockwise from the 12 o’clock position, the bass or treble is reduced. 2: Reverb send - These knobs determine how much si
