DHA VT1 Purist Bass - what does "colour" do ?

[BigBeatNut]

I've seen a 3 knob DHA VT1 Purist Bass for sale. The middle knob is "colour".

My best guess is that this is a tone control. Can someone confirm and/or explain in more detail ?

Thanks, Andy

it's negitive feedback. This normally has three settings via a centre off switch, one via a resistor so is little like "presence" on amps, another setting is via clipping diodes so is a fuzz type distortion, the centre position is colour off. Both settings reduce the level but add distortion and compression.
