MEC 18v 3 Band Frequency Boost?

Hi,

I'm new here. I just purchased a lovely used Warwick Streamer Stage 1 4 string. It sounds great. I just wanted to know if anyone here knew exactly what frequencies are being pushed with the eq section of the preamp especially the mids. There is no sweepable midrange, only a boost. Midrange is fairly broad so i would like to know exactly what it is i'm boosting. Same goes for bass and treble. I should imagine 800ish for mids, 80-100 for bass and somewhere in the 3-5k range for the treble but it would be useful to know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Regards

Brian

Found this on Warwick forum
[quote]I have a Warwick owners manual from 2000(I think) and it lists the frequencies as 2KHz & 100Hz for the 2 band and 8.5KHz,800Hz & 100Hz for the 3 band.[/quote]

I have a Warwick 97/98 brochure that lists the treble @ 8KHz. No figure for bass or mid.
Having both 2 and 3 band eq'd Warwicks I find the treble @ 8KHz has no real effect.

I can't answer the question, but I replaced the three band MEC (when it started making strange noises) with a two band Aguilar circuit and really thought it was an improvement. I've also recently used an old Streamer II which has a Bartolini 2 band fitted and its really nice sounding, and very easy to use. I never found the mid band that useful.
