SWR Sound 750x - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the SWR 750x Bass Amplifier! You now own a killer combination of
massive power, easy-to-use controls, simply integrated onboard effects… and pure SWR tone.
A little histor y: The SWR 750x is an upgraded version of the Bass 750, a model we’ve of fered since 1999
in response to demand for an amp that delivered the punch and volume of classic high-powered amplifiers,
coupled with the sound and clarity SWR is known for. The highest-powered mono head in our world-renowned
Professional Line, the Bass 750 featured a tube preamp (using a specially-selected 12AX7A vacuum tube),
SWR’s patented “Aural Enhancer,” an easy-to-use 3-band EQ section, and a high-quality, discrete solid-state
750-watt power amp capable of delivering enough power and headroom for just about any application. Highly
popular among rock, funk and jazz players alike, the Bass 750 quickly became a staple on large stages in
high-profile venues, as well as in local clubs where bassists quickly saw the benefits of having more than
enough power to do the job.
The new 750x maintains all of these proven features while adding significant improvements. We’ve integrat-
ed two new onboard effects. First, the Tube Overdrive provides the option of having a high-powered “dirty”
amplifier at the ready, all the while preser ving the famous SWR clean tone—and without having to lug
around an 80-pound all-tube amplifier. Second, there’s our SubWave™ circuit, which produces a tone an
octave below the original signal and tracks as well or better than anything else on the market today. (The
effects are foot-switchable, and we’ve provided a dual footswitch for your convenience.) Additionally, the unit
is now lighter, quieter (in terms of overall residual and white noise), and in our humble opinion, better-look-
ing thanks to a cosmetic rework from the ground up. And, of course, each 750x is assembled by hand and
individually sound-tested in the USA at our factor y in Southern California.
It’s all part of SWR’s commitment to continued improvement and refinement of even our most popular mod-
els, so that we can continue to assist today’s bassist in the pursuit of the ultimate goal: finding equipment
that not only does the job, but actually enhances the overall musical experience and contributes to the cre-
ative process. Ever yone here at SWR sincerely hopes that the purchase of your 750x helps you get there
from here… and beyond.
Please take the time to read your Owner’s Manual thoroughly and completely, so that you can realize the full
potential of your new 750x Bass Amplifier. Once again, thanks for your purchase, and for letting SWR help
Amplify Your Future.™
Sincerely,
SWR
