SWR Sound Mini-Mo' Preamp With Mo' Control 2 Master Footswitch Controller - Manual (Page 21)

If you are using more than one speaker cabinet (and especially if they contain different speaker
configurations), you may want to remember that, in Dual Mode, the Mini-Mo' Preamp will send the "wet"
channel to the right main outputs while sending the "clean" channel to the left main outputs. Maybe you
want the "clean/left" channel in a 2x10" and the "wet/right" channel in a single 15". Perhaps you want to
the "wet/right" channel sent to a cabinet with a tweeter and the "clean/left" channel sent to one without
a tweeter. Maybe you want the "wet/right" channel in the top cabinet in your stack and the "clean/left"
channel in the bottom cabinet. Make the best choice for your artistic needs. (The SWR Megoliath 8x10
is an ideal cabinet for running the Mini-Mo' Preamp in Dual Mode, as it has separate inputs for both
bottom and top 4x10" configurations, one with a tweeter and one without. Just thought we'd mention
it.)
You may notice a slight decrease in perceived volume when engaging the Dual Mode. This is mostly
likely due to a Mini-Mo' Preamp effect being louder than the original bass signal. You wouldn't notice
this in Single Channel Mode because that same boosted effect goes to both sides of the main outputs
(or sums in the case of a mono main output). But when you engage the Dual Mode, the "left/clean"
side loses that boost because it no longer contains the effect in its signal path. Therefore the overall
level will seem lower. You can fix this by setting the levels of the effects in question back to unity gain
with the original bass signal.
NOTE NOTE: You can use a standard volume pedal for this function, but you will need a special cable called
an "insert cable." Plug the two "mono" ends into your volume pedal's in/out jacks and plug the "stereo"
end into the Mini-Mo' Preamp "Filter Sweep Pedal" jack.)
INTERNAL EFFECTS ("EFX") BYPASS
You can choose to bypass all internal effects by engaging the Internal EFX Bypass switch. Push on the
switch and the red LED should illuminate. Once the Bypass is engaged, none of the Mini-Mo' Preamp
effects will affect the signal, regardless of whether or not they are engaged. Turning on the Internal EFX
Bypass switch will not cause the LED's of other Mini-Mo' Preamp effects to switch off––it will only stop
the effects from reaching the signal path.
Though there is a footswitch for the Internal EFX Bypass on the Mo' Control 2 Master Footswitch, there
is also a separate, individual jack on the rear of the Mini-Mo’ marked "Internal EFX Bypass." Simply plug
any momentary (normally open) footswitch into this jack, and you can operate the bypass via separate
footswitch. We included this in case you wanted the bypass switch in a special location, as some
players are very particular about the location of certain master functions such as these.
NOTE NOTE: If you plug in the cable while the unit is on, the switch will activate automatically and the red
bypass LED will illuminate. This is normal. Simply switch the Bypass off with either the footswitch or
the push-button switch on the front panel.
The Internal EFX Bypass feature works in both Single Channel and Dual Mode. When used in Dual
Mode, the Bypass will disengage the effects in the right/wet channel. It will not affect the left/clean
channel because, in Dual Mode, there are no internal effects active in that channel to begin with.
EXTERNAL EFFECTS BLEND CONTROLS
Believe it or not, there are some effects not available in the Mini-Mo' Preamp, like reverb and delay. For
those who want to take tweaking to the ultimate level, we've included a Stereo External Effects Loop,
complete with Left and Right External Effects ("EFX") Blend controls. (To avoid confusion, we refer to this
loop as "external" to separate it from the five "internal" effects on the Mini-Mo' Preamp.)
