EQUALIZER
Beyond the ordinary
is an analog graphic equalizer unit
that has both memory and recall functions for all
possible settings; MIDI interface.
This allows the artist to configure the sound
equalization for the preferred sounds via the six
available controls.
is a step up for the analog guitar
effects as it introduces an analog-digital
architecture that works in the analog domain and
that is controlled by a digital processor.
The memorized settings can be recalled via the two
footswitches, CNT1 and CNT2, or via a MIDI
connection.
These 2 important characteristics, digital control,
and remote MIDI control, makes the
one of the most innovative equalizer within the
market.
A patch is composed of the six parameters. Each
patch can be memorized using the SAVE (ST)
pushbutton.
PARAMETERS
BASSWAVES has six adjustable parameters:
LEVEL Adjust the output signal level
LOW Adjust the low frequency level
MIDL Adjust the low mid frequency level
MID Adjust the mid frequency level
MIDH Adjust the high mid frequency level
HIGH Adjust the high frequency level
A maximum of ten (0-9) Patches can be saved which can
be recalled sequentially, using the footswitch CNT2; it’s
possible to change this maximum number.
When in “PRE_PATCH MODE”, pressing and releasing
CNT2 increase the patch number and put the
in a pre-patch mode, indicated by the
patch number flashing on the green display.
CNT1 will confirm and activate the pre-selection.
Use CNT1 also to toggle Normal and Bypass modes.
ACTIVATE PATCH
or BYPASS
All the parameters can be adjusted using the
control knobs; the equalizer frequencies are
calculated for a bass guitar.

2
Once all the parameters have been reconfigured,
the Save (ST) button can be pressed for at least 3
seconds to memorize the new configuration, the
patch.
The character ‘P’ will be displayed on the green
display
It is possible to cancel the new configuration by
pressing and releasing the Save (ST) button. The
character ‘H’ will appear on the green display.
If the Save (ST) button is pressed and held during
the power on sequence, after the mode selection,
the ten patches are initialized to default values.
The address will be initialized with
the default 0 value.
After the mode selection the character ‘L’ will
appear on the green display.
In the event that you need to change the
address the following steps are
necessary.
During the Bpower up sequence, press
and hold the footswitch CNT2.
OPERATIVE MODES
During Power Up, keep pushed the SAVE button,
the characters ‘I’ and ‘P’ will appear sequentially
on the green display, indicating the “Incremental”
and the “Pre-Patch” modes; release the button will
select the displayed mode.
A maximum of ten (programmable from 1 to 10)
Patches can be saved which can be recalled
sequentially, using the footswitches CNT1 and
CNT2, in Incremental and Pre-Patch Mode (’P’).
PRE-PATCH MODE
Pressing and releasing CNT2, increases the patch
number and puts the in a “pre-patch”
mode, indicated by the patch number flashing on
the green display. Keeping CNT2 pressed for at
least 3 seconds will decrease the patch number.
CNT1 will confirm and activate the “pre-patch”
and/or the BYPASS state.
INCREMENTAL MODE
Pressing CNT1 will increase the patch number,
pressing CNT2 will decrease the patch number.
Pressing both the footswitches will put RedCat in
BYPASS state.
Press any footswitches to escape from the BYPASS
state.
INITIALIZATION
NEW ADDRESS ALLOCATION

3
The display will show all the 16 available addresses,
one every 2-3 seconds
Release the footswitch CNT2 when the selected
address is displayed. The patch data will not be
changed.
The “Save” (ST) button must be pressed for at least
3 seconds (’P’) to memorize the new address.
Keeping pressed CNT1 during Power Up will set the
maximum patch number, from ‘0’ to ‘9’.
The Save (ST) button must be pressed for at least 3
seconds (’P’) to memorize the new limit.
To assign a patch to a MIDI program command,
simply:
●Send the MIDI program change (Cn)
●Set the patch number and the patch
parameters
●Keep the Save (ST) button pressed until the
following sign appears on the green display

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Beyond the ordinary
Always refer to a qualified personnel when
servicing is required. Don’t expose the effect to
moisture or rain and don’t use it near water; the
operating ambient temperature must be lower
than 50 degrees (Celsius).
Avoid to apply power supply voltages higher than
12V, no objects filled with liquids should be placed
on the effect. Clean the effect only with dry clothes.
