Every setting gives you more / less Bass Medium treble like parametric EQ bass but GREAT SOUNDS
One more model of Mr Matsumoku great conceptor and creator of a lot of Made In Japan models of different trademarks. It's called SPIRIT but french translated and printed such as "ESPRIT". This is the most surprising guitar I've ever had because the sound is active, the neck pickup and the bridge pickup can be in phase opposition with help of the phantom middle pick up that can add medium treeble bass to the pickups bridge/neck thank's to Mr Matsumoku that had great ideas to help guitarists. You can set up even with a distortion a clean acoustic sound bright and clean only by turning the tone and volume knobs down or up, completely amazing, even if you let the distortion, never seen that before. The quality of the sounds on this guitar is really a complete success. You can really hear a crystal acoustic sound. In these days, you would pay 2 or 3 thousand dollars, to get this quality, greater than a Fender Stratocaster, no noise with these pickups and you get more .... the possibility to get very precise EQ on the sound. The tremolo is a floating one with only 2 studs
