"Now in this clip we're going to talk about EQ which stands for equalization and tone. These essentially affect the color of the sound when you're playing through an amplifier. There are adjustments on the guitar that will change your tone and your EQ as well but let's talk specifically about the ones on the amplifier. Now first is treble, treble woofer is to the high sound, the high frequencies. So when you adjust the treble you're adjusting how much of that high bright sound you want so let's take a look at that. If we turn, start with the treble all the way down and then turn it all the way up you can see there's a much crisper brighter sound. All the way down, all the way up, now mid is somewhere in between there. These would be the mid tones again it's a, a frequency range so let's try mids all the way down and mids all the way up. This is a little bit more in the vocal range, the mid tones and all the way down and all the way up. So it's a little more subtle but it definitely makes a difference and then bass which is the very low frequencies. Let's try bass all the way down, very thin sound, bass all the way up a little bit more robust."
