INITIAL SET UP
Before you plug in your unit for the first time please do the following
things. First turn the power switch to the off position. Then set the
Master Volume control to (0). Set the tone controls to the center position
or (0). Turn the Enhance control to the Minimum position. Set the
parametric controls to the center (0). Set the Gain control to
approximately the 9:00 position to start with. Set the compressor in the
(On) position and set the Parametric switch in the (Off) position. On the
back of the unit set the Internal Speaker switch in the (ON) position. This
will set your amplifier up flat and with the auto compressor operating.
Now plug in the power cord to the inlet on the back of the unit. Use only
a safe grounded receptacle for proper operation at 120 V. A.C. 60Hz.
Now you can plug in your Bass and turn on the unit. Turn the master up
until you reach a comfortable sound level and we will go through the
tone controls and other features.
OPERATION and DESCRIPTION of CONTROLS
INPUT JACK
The input Jack will accept most Bass Guitar output levels. If you have a
dual battery Bass with output in excess of +10dBm you probably will
have to turn the output of your Bass down to avoid clipping the input.
The jack should except most passive and active Basses.
GAIN CONTROL/ and-12db pull to pad
This control regulates the first amplification stage and controls the
overall system gain. The compressor automatically tracks the input level
and follows the gain. You control the compressor threshold by setting
the gain lower or higher, depending on how much compression effect
you want. The compressor is provided with a bypass to defeat the
compressor operation. Some of the new dual battery Bass Guitars have
unusually high output levels. If you own one of these Basses it mat be
necessary to engage the -12dB Pad in order to properly match correct
signal levels with this unit. The pad is engaged by pulling up on the Gain
control knob.
