The drive gain is compensated at the output so you can The VQA-154 is a very versatile and easy to use EQ which adjust the drive level without affecting the loudness. provides classy and pleasant sounding coloration that always sounds musical, no matter how far you push it. LF Frequency / Gain (Low Shelf) Use the LF frequency knob (outer ring) to set the desired low shelving frequency in Hz. The inner knob controls the shelving gain in the range between roughly -12 thru +12 dB.

The inner knob controls the channel over to the right/side channel potentially overwriting any peaking gain in the range between roughly -12 thru +12 dB. current settings in unlinked mode. The high mid band also produces a proportional Q bell curve whose bandwidth depends on the selected center frequency.
