Tips ’n’ Tricks
- The mids and bass controls are effectively “off” when in the middle position, as these are referred to as “gyrator” style active eq controls
- The treble is the exact same control as found on the standard Tumnus
- The gain control on the Tumnus does two things at once – as you turn the gain up it turns down a parallel clean blended circuit at the same time. As you turn the gain down it not only turns the gain down but also turns up a parallel clean blended circuit.
Some of Brian’s suggested settings – use these as a starting point to find your perfect tone.
