If you just can’t wait…
Here are a few quick steps to get you playing within minutes.
Unpacking
• Unpack your BLACKSMITH amp.
• The box should contain the following items:
– BLACKSMITH amplifier
– Power Cable
– Manual.
• Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely
event of this having occurred, inform the carrier and supplier.
• Keep all the packaging if damage has occurred, as this will
show evidence of excessive handling force.
• It is also a good idea to keep the packaging for future
transportation.
Setting up
• Connect the Speaker Out of the amplifier to your cabinet
using a Speakon cable.
• Blacksmith can run any cabinet combination with a minimum
load of 2 Ohm. To get the optimum performance from the
amplifier, make sure to select the correct Load Impedance
on the back plate before powering up the amplifier.
Notice that the amplifier will NOT be damaged if a
wrong Load Impedance setting is selected, but a
protection mode may be invoked.
(please refer to page 19 for more information)
• Connect the power cable and power up.
• Connect your bass to the input jack on the front panel.
• Adjust the input gain using the GAIN knob.
• Adjust the output volume using the MASTER knob.
• Play!
• RC-4 is an optional pedal with four footswitches that can
use to switch between three memory locations and also
to mute for tuning purposes. This pedal also shows tuner
information.
