FRONT PANEL FEATURES
Input Jack – Designed to accept a standard ¼ inch mono phone plug. For
best results use a high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to
the amplifier. The input is buffered and will handle standard passive, high
level active, and piezo input signals.
Gain Control – Regulates the first gain stage of the preamplifier and
controls the amount of signal available to the system.
Input Pad – Pull slightly on the Gain control to engage a –12dB pad. This
feature is useful when using a very high gain instrument.
Set Level Indicator – This light helps the user set the appropriate amount of
gain. When set properly, the indicator should light on your loudest/lowest
notes. We’ll go over this in more detail later in the manual.
Compressor Bypass Switch – This switch allows you to bypass the front
end Compressor/Limiter. The Compressor/Limiter in your unit is a fixed
threshold type. You adjust the Compression level by turning the gain control
up or down until you get the amount of compression you want. You may
find the bypass switch useful for getting that maximum punch when you are
slapping or popping hard.
Enhance Control – Called the “Magic Knob” by some, this complex
control simultaneously boosts the very low bass, upper middle, and high
frequencies while putting a dip in the lower middle frequencies.
It is flat when set to its minimum level (fully counterclockwise).
Semi-Parametric Equalizer – Allows you to dial in a specific frequency to
enhance or cut. This feature is especially useful for upright and acoustic bass
guitars that have a resonant frequency. Because we’ve included a bypass
switch, you can also use it to create a second tone that is available
instantaneously. (You’re welcome.) The frequency is adjustable from 40Hz
to 10KHz. The level can be adjusted +/- 15 dB. The control is FLAT when
the level control is at 12:00 position (straight up).
