KXB100 Suggested Settings
The following suggested settings will help you dial in a variety of popular tones. Keep in mind, these are starting points to
get you up and running with your KXB amplifier. Feel free to experiment to achieve your own signature sounds.
TRADITIONAL/VERSATILE TONE
In this setting, the amplifier will deliver a traditional, yet versatile, electric bass sound. Whether you are playing Rock,
Country, Blues or Gospel, this setting will get you close. If you play with a pick and want less treble attack on the notes,
decrease the amount of high frequencies using the Treble control. If you need a deeper bottom end, increase the amount
of low frequencies using the Bass control. Adjust the amount of Midrange to best match the tone of your bass guitar and
how it fits into the overall sound.
FUNKY, SLAPPED TONES
This style of music needs a strong attack with lots of treble. Using less Midrange will produce the extra top end neces-
sary for this type of music. If you use a “slapping” thumb technique, add a bit more low end and extra volume – or less if
you really hit the strings hard.
ALTERNATIVE STYLE
These settings are designed for upper-end punch and edge that will cut through most any sound mix. This tone will work
well with pick or fingers. Make sure your bass guitar’s volume control is turned up all the way. Since you’re adding vol-
ume, be careful with the amount of Bass, Mid and Treble that you dial in, as it can also add some distortion to the sound.
