Using The High Frequency Level Control
Using The High Frequency Level Control
Your Hydrive cabinet has a control used
to adjust the level of high frequency
compression driver. The switch has three
positions, ON, -6dB and OFF. When the
switch is set to OFF, the compression driver
is completely out of the circuit and off. This
position will give you a darker frequency
response, which a lot of bassists like for
roots rock and metal. If you set the switch
to –6dB, you get half the level of the horn.
The frequency response becomes a little
brighter, which is nice for cutting through
the back-line in just about any type of
band. When set to ON, you get the full level
of the compression driver and the response
is full range with nice treble response. This
voicing is great for bass soloists, for funk,
R&B or for whatever style requires some
serious, sweet top end.
At Hartke we don’t put any player in a
category or box, we realize that your sound
is personal regardless of the style of music
you play. Heck, we know a lot of bass
players that play a lot of different styles!
The Hydrive cabinets are designed to offer
a natural response to faithfully reproduce
the sound of your bass and amp. The High
Frequency Level control gives you another
dimension of control to get the sound
you’re looking for. Like always, with a little
bit of experimentation, you’ll easily dial up
the sound that fits your style and musical
personality.
