8. Clip (indicator): This indicator will flash yellow when the B
|
AMP senses an overdriven or
clipped signal at its output. This is an indication that the amplifier is being driven beyond its
ability to produce a clean, undistorted output signal. It’s ok and normal to see the flashing of
this indicator on loud peaks. However, continuous, sustained illumination of this indicator
should be avoided.
ð
There are Proprietary and musical Compressor/Limiters programmed into the B|AMP’s
DSP to help prevent the B|AMP from being overdriven to a point of audible distortion.
9. LCD Display: The LCD (liquid-crystal display) display serves many functions and displays
everything from basic tone control settings (home screen) to the many levels of software based
menu screens in the B
|
AMP.
10. Filters/BASS Control:
This control has multiple functions:
As a Tone Control, turning the control Left or Right from the home screen will decrease or
increase the level of the Bass frequencies in 1dB increments, from -9db to +9db. The level in
dB will be shown above on the LCD display.
ð
The screen below shows an example of the B|AMP’s home screen where the gain of all
4 tone controls can be adjusted.
If you push and hold the Filters/BASS control for 2 seconds, you will be able to adjust the
center frequencies of all 4 tone controls. The frequency range of the Bass control is from 40Hz
to 120Hz, variable in 5Hz increments. You can return to the home screen by pressing any of
the 4 tone control knobs, or if left idle for 5 seconds, the LCD display will return to the home
screen automatically.
ð
The screen below shows the B|AMP’s semi-parametric EQ screen after pressing and
holding any of the 4 tone controls for 2 seconds.
When the Filters/BASS control is pressed and released, it displays the filter’s screen that
includes a VHPF screen (Variable High Pass Filter) and Variable Feedback filter.
