Front Panel
EQ BYPASS
This button removes the graphic equalizer from the audio chain. The “IN” position of the switch bypass-
es the EQ, and the amp will respond as if the graphic equalizer is set flat.
POST GAIN
This knob controls output level of the pre amplifier to the power amplifier.
OCTAVER
This knob synthesizes a note one octave below the note you are playing. The “IN” or "ACTIVE" position
of the switch enables the octave divider. This knob controls the output level of the synthesized tone.
Once activated, the OCTAVER may be defeated by an optional remote footswitch (#00051000).
WARNING: This effect generates extremely low bass tones! Care should be taken to avoid damaging
speakers.
OCTAVER TIPS
- Start with the OCTAVER knob set to minimum. Adjust the PRE GAIN and POST GAIN
to the desired levels, and slowly increase the level of the OCTAVER until the desired
effect is achieved.
- Analog octave dividers, such as this one, typically work best when only one note is
played at a time. Complex cords will not track well.
- For best tracking, strings that are not being played should be muted.
- The bass guitar produces a complex waveform for each note played. Harmonic
content is higher at certain playing positions on the neck. Because of this, playing
the same notes at different positions on the neck will track better. This may vary
from one bass to another.
DDT™ (Distortion Detection Technique)
This button prevents power amplifier clipping that can sound bad and damage speakers. The “IN” or
"DEFEAT" position of the switch bypasses the DDT circuit. However, Peavey
® recommends the DDT stay
enabled for optimum system performance. When the DDT is enabled, the Protect/Clip LED will flash
when DDT is triggered. It is normal operation for the LED to flash. However, if the LED is constantly il-
luminated, the gain level needs to be adjusted to prevent possible equipment damage. When the DDT is
defeated, the LED becomes a clip indicator.
POWER SWITCH
To apply power to the unit, flip the switch to the “On” position. The blue LED will illuminate, indicating
power is being supplied.
