TC Electronic ComboStaccato - Manual (Page 12)

The headphone volume is controlled by the MASTER level knob.
When a set of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack,
the speaker output on the rear panel of the RH450 is disabled.
This is a very convenient feature when you want to use a “silent
mode” at night: There is no need to disconnect the speaker
cabinet.
In order to set the right level balance between the
Auxiliary input signal and your bass sound, use the
preset level feature. Level settings are stored as a part
of RH450 MEM’s.
8 – MUTE
The MUTE button not only mutes the speaker and headphones
outputs, but also the balanced output. This means that you can
tune up with no sound going to your own rig or to the PA.
9 – SHIFT
The SHIFT button is used to access the secondary functions
marked with red text on the RH450’s front panel. The following
controls have secondary functions:
Normal mode Shift mode (press SHIFT)
GAIN SpectraComp Depth
EQ (1-4) EQ Bands Center Frequencies
TUBETONE Preset/Memory Level Settings
When you haven’t been using the RH450’s front panel controls
for about twenty seconds, the RH450 will return to normal mode,
where the knobs control the primary functions printed in white.
10 – MEM 1/2/3
The RH450 features three user memories which allow you to
effortlessly store and recall your favorite settings.
Storing settings is extremely simple:
–
Dial in the settings that you like
– Press and hold one of the MEM buttons for circa two
seconds.
– When the MEM button blink, your settings have been stored.
– To recall a MEM-setting, simply press the corresponding
MEM button once.
What is stored?
Any parameter that is operated by a light ring knob is stored.
This means the settings of all front panel controls – apart from
the Master level, the SHIFT and MUTE buttons – are stored.
Why MEM-settings?
Even though a lot of bass players tend to play with the same
sound most of the time, a lot of players do have a couple of
different basses, playing styles, pickup settings or other factors
that requires amp settings to be changed. We figured that it
would be handy to simply push one button instead of fiddling
with several knobs.
