Important Safety Information

JOEMEEK – the legend grows

About the Designer

The latest generation of Joemeek audio processors represents a

quantum leap in the history of the Joemeek legend. Long regarded for

its "Big Sound", the original Joemeek gear was both revered and

reviled for its somewhat "quirky" nature. Now we have taken the best

of what made the Joemeek products sound great, refined it, distilled it,

added to it and repackaged it.

Properly and robustly engineered for predictable, controllable

performance, the new range retains the famous Joemeek sound, with

its wide, flat frequency response extending from subsonic to

ultrasonic. It also uses genuinely low noise circuitry, with lots of

headroom (immunity to overload). Accurate calibration and clear

panel labeling, give you complete confidence in what's going on.

While some equipment pays lip-service to quality and "professional

rules" but fails to deliver, the new generation of Joemeek products is

founded on good solid electronic and audio engineering, and easily

withstands direct comparison with the very best names in pro audio.

The Joemeek range provides everything you need to get your

performance across, whether playing live or recording.

The latest generation of Joemeek products has been designed by

renowned audio electronics consultant Allan Bradford. With his

background in physics and 30 years experience with the design of

instruments, mixers, processors and amplifiers, Allan's unique range

of expertise ensures that Joemeek remains at the forefront of music

technology.

Statement of WEEE Policy

PMI Audio Group manufactures many complete electronic

products which are covered by the European Union’s “Waste

Electric and Electronic Equipment” directive 2002/96/EC

(WEEE). This directive seeks to ensure that waste electric and

electronic equipment is disposed of in an environmentally

responsible manner, at the end of its life cycle. PMI Audio

Group takes seriously its obligations under this directive to

take back WEEE-affected products and, from 13th August

2005, will mark all such products with the crossed-out wheeled

bin symbol.

Business to Business products: PMI Audio Group will cost-

neutrally take back WEEE-affected electric and electronic

equipment in this category, from 1st January 2006. PMI Audio

Group will work with disposal and recycling partners working

within the EU. The waste electric and electronic equipment can

then be turned over to a disposal and recycling companies in

the countries concerned.

Business to Customer products: emerging electric and

electronic equipment will be disposed of by local authorities'

collection systems.

Dual Use products: this equipment will be disposed of by local

authorities' collection systems.

PMI Audio Group manufactures complete electronic products

which are covered by the European Union’s “Removal of

Hazardous Substances” directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). This

directive seeks to eliminate toxic substances from the

manufacturing process, such that when equipment is disposed

of at the end of its life cycle, the materials it contains do not

contaminate the environment and pose health risks. Banned

substances are lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent

chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and poly-

brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Lead is used together

with tin in solder connections to reduce the melting point of

solder. Lead-free solder requires higher soldering

temperatures which in turn places greater thermal stress on

components.

PMI Audio Group takes seriously its obligations under the

RoHS directive and insists that its factories use only

components that are certified RoHS compliant, as well as lead-

free solder. In a very few cases the necessary components

may not yet be available to the world market but we work

continuously to eliminate any such exceptions at the earliest

opportunity. Our printed Circuit Boards (PCB’s) and all

soldered joints have been lead-free since 2005.

DI OUTPUT

The 'ODD' harmonics control provides fairly conventional "clipping"

overdrive, only with a contoured frequency response, so that harmonics

are produced consistently over the whole range of the instrument. Clipping

an audio signal generates overtones at 3, 5, 7... times the frequency of the

fundamental note, hence: "odd" order (dissonant) harmonics. The 'SOFT'

button reduces the harshness of the effect (which can also be modified

extensively by both the 'Structure' control and the Meequalizer). Either way

the 'Odd' section of the Distortion Generator will add sustain to the guitar.

The 'EVEN' harmonics control adds musically sonant harmonics at octave

intervals above the fundamental note, which is the equivalent of "tube"

distortion. However to do this over the whole range of the instrument can

just sound horrible! This is why we have a 'TUNE' control, to set the range

of frequencies affected. Turn it clockwise to process only higher notes.

Turning up the ‘Q’ control emphasizes a narrow range of frequencies

around that set by the ‘TUNE’ control, which concentrates processing on a

particular band. Using the ‘TUNE’ and ‘Q’ controls together allows the gbQ

to bring out a particular part of the guitar's overall sound.

Note that the 'Even' section of the Distortion Generator is independent of

signal level and so does not add sustain to the guitar.

'STRUCTURE' alters the phase relationship between the original signal

and the generated harmonics. When the knob is swept it sounds like

"phasing" but in the gbQ, think of it as a different kind of tone control.

Normally the Distortion Generator comes before the Meequalizer, which

allows tone control of the distorted sound. Pressing the 'POST EQ' switch

places the Distortion Generator after the Meequalizer, allowing the EQ

section to boost or cut those frequencies which will be distorted. This is

useful for example, when some strings are louder than others.

The footswitch turns the Distortion Generator on and off (yellow LED lights

when active).

This is the all-important front end to the gbQ. Its job is to accept any type of

instrument and make it loud enough. It has a very high input impedance,

making it suitable for all types of guitar pick-up, including piezo (crystal)

acoustic pick-ups.

There is just one control, 'INPUT', which covers a range of amplification

from 0dB (unity) to 20dB. This accommodates the wide variation in levels

that come from different kinds of guitars and acts as a level matcher

between guitar and guitar amplifier.

It is active whether or not the Distortion Generator or EQ is turned on, so

that the gbQ always sends the correct guitar volume to the power amplifier.

The preamp is an extremely high quality, low noise, Class-A design that will

be appreciated by audiophile musicians and engineers.

Distortion Generator

Preamp

Meequalizer

The gbQ “Meequalizer” is a highly effective, versatile and musically

rewarding three-band equalizer, or tone control system. It may help to think

of it as being like a graphic equalizer, only instead of lots of fixed frequency

bands, you have three that can be moved to cover any given frequency

band. Each stage allows boost or cut of up to 15dB around the frequency in

question.

The “EQ” footswitch turns the equalizer on and off (green LED lights when

active).

The LF or bass band can be tuned or “swept” anywhere between 40Hz and

350Hz. Cutting can be used to reduce unwanted LF noise, such as hum or

rumble. Boosting can bring out the warmth and body of bass lines.

The Mid band can be tuned or “swept” anywhere between 150Hz and

2.5kHz. Cutting the Mid band can reduce annoying resonances. Boosting

can bring out the body and warmth of a guitar, or the harmonics of bass

guitars.

The HF or treble section can be tuned or “swept” anywhere between

500Hz and 7kHz. Boosting the HF band gives a sense of “air” or “sparkle”

to instruments. Alternatively with bass guitars, cutting this band will reduce

HF noise such as hiss and crackle. Higher setting are very effective at

reducing harshness, or indeed creating it, for example by boosting the

harmonics of electric guitars.

The Meequalizer is normally after the Distortion Generator and before the

Insert Point. Pressing the 'POST EQ' switch however, places the

Meequalizer before the Distortion Generator.

Technical stuff

Each section of the Meequalizer has a peaking or “bell” shaped frequency

response, which will be found to be musically more satisfying than

conventional “shelving” equalizers. The use of bell curves at LF and HF

also avoids boosting subsonics and ultrasonics which can have adverse

effects on other studio equipment, such as recorders, monitor amplifiers

and speakers. The “Q” value of the peaking filters is 0.9 (or 1.6 octaves).

Zero phase distortion ensures the best possible audio coherence.

pedal format. It takes an instrument such as an electric guitar or bass

guitar, amplifies it, creates harmonic distortion and adds sustain as

required. give the gloss

This provides a balanced, line-level feed to a mixing desk. A screwdriver

'LEVEL' control on the back of the gbQ sets the volume, independently of

DI OUTPUT (XLR)

It is wired as follows:

Pin 2: + (hot)

Pin 3: - (cold)

When no jack is inserted, the sockets are internally linked, or "normalled",

so that the signal flows uninterrupted.

POWER

The gbQ can be powered either using the supplied 12Vac adaptor, or any

third-party guitar effects power supply in the range 9V - 18V, ac or dc. This

means that the gbQ can be powered from almost any existing pedalboard,

so long as you have a connector that fits the power socket.

Use of other voltages may damage the gbQ and damage so caused will

POWER SUPPLY

Connect the Power Supply to the 'POWER' connector on the rear panel

and switch on the mains supply. NB: Use only the 12Vac mains adaptor

supplied, or a proper guitar pedal supply in the range 9V to 18V, ac or

dc. Use of any other power supply may damage the gbQ and

invalidate the warranty.

Turn the 'INPUT' control to minimum and connect the guitar. Press the

'BYPASS' footswitch so that the red LED lights. The Distortion Generator

and Meequalizer are now bypassed so that only the Preamp is in use.

Adjust the 'INPUT' until you have a working volume from the guitar amp.

The amount of gain required will depend on the particular type of guitar and

pickups.

Using the Preamp

Always start with the Meequalizer boost/cut controls (LF, MID and HF) set

to "0" (the control knobs set in their center notches). This setting is also

known as "flat".

'MEEQUALIZE'

You need to be careful about too much boost, since boosting takes the gbQ

closer to overload. Overload equals distortion but not the good sort! The

gbQ has generous overload margins but when a lot of boost is used, it may

be necessary to compensate by reducing the 'OUTPUT' control or the

'INPUT' control (the latter will affect the "Odd" distortion and sustain

though).

The way to use the LF, MF and HF controls, is to apply quite a lot of boost,

then sweep the frequency until you "tune in" to the sound you are

interested in. Once you find it, adjust the amount of boost or cut to give the

desired effect.

Experiment with combinations of settings of EQ and try to picture how the

audio signal is being affected. Use the 'MEEQUALIZE' footswitch to make

comparisons between EQ'd and non-EQ'd signals.

Make sure that the 'OUTPUT' control is turned up full and

that the 'BYPASS' footswitch is off. Press the footswitch so

the green LED lights. At this point there should be no change in the sound

of the guitar.

Start with 'ODD', 'EVEN' and 'STRUCTURE' controls all at "0" and the

'SOFT' and 'POST EQ' switches out. Make sure that the 'OUTPUT' control

is turned up full and that the 'BYPASS' footswitch is off. Press the

'DISTORT' footswitch so the yellow LED lights.At this point there should be

no change in the sound of the guitar.

Advance the 'ODD' control clockwise until the required degree of distortion

and/or sustain is achieved. Try pressing the 'SOFT' switch and listen to the

effect on tone and sustain. Turn the 'STRUCTURE' control clockwise and

hear how the sound changes ("0" has no effect).

Set 'TUNE' and 'Q' controls to "0" and advance the 'EVEN' control. There

should be an apparent increase in the treble content of the distortion. With

higher settings of the 'TUNE' control, the effect will be heard at

progressively higher pitches.

Turn the 'EVEN' and 'Q' controls to maximum: now sweep the 'TUNE'

control and hear the resonant peak moving through the spectrum. This can

be used to emphasize a particular part of the guitar's timbre.

Enhancement

The "Even" section of the Distortion Generator can also be used with a

clean guitar sound, providing harmonic enrichment without apparent

distortion. This is especially useful for acoustic guitars.

Make sure the 'ODD' and 'Q' controls are set to "0" and the 'TUNE' control

to "7". Advance the 'EVEN' control and adjust the 'TUNE' control between

"6" and "10" to change the character of the resulting enhancement.

Then turn up the 'Q' control and use the 'TUNE' control to hunt around for

particular harmonics. With this kind of enhancement you will usually find

that "less is more" and it is as well to keep the 'EVEN' and 'Q' settings fairly

low. It is very easy to add too much harmonic and though the effect can be

Using the Meequalizer

dramatic at first, it will soon become wearing and contribute to listening

fatigue. If you can hear audible distortion creeping in you are definitely

overdoing it, so turn down the 'EVEN' control and/or raise the 'TUNE'

setting.

Use the 'DISTORT' footswitch to make comparisons between processed

and unprocessed sound. The nature of harmonic enhancement is such

that you may not realize how much effect it is having until you turn it off!
