EBASS DB 510 User Manual - page 3
TOP PANEL
The DB510 is designed to have a good basic sound when the tone
controls are at "12 o'clock". In this setting it is pretty linear.
Tone controls are intended to color or adjust the basic sound,
according to needs and taste.
INPUT 1: This input is designed for most types of passive electric
basses, and acoustic basses with piezo pick-ups. Impedance is 2 Mohm.
INPUT 2: This input is designed for passive electric basses with very
high output and active electric basses. The input impedance is 100
Kohm.
MUTE: This mutes the output to the speaker and to balanced output.
There is still signal to tuner output.
GAIN: This button adjusts the input sensitivity so that distortion
can be avoided. This active gain control also ensures lowest possible
noise.
LO CUT: This switch activates a filter which attenuates the deepest
frequencies, good to avoid rumble, in combination with bass control
you can get a warm sound and still control low freq muddiness in the
room.
HI CUT: This switch activates a filter that attenuates the highest
frequencies. It softens the sound without it getting inaccurate or
muddy. Especially for acoustic bass this is helpful in controlling
the overtones of a piezo - pickup.
BASS: this button raises or lowers the very deepest frequencies.
An electric bass will typically benefit from a boost these
frequencies, while an acoustic bass has the opposite.
LO MID: this button raises or lowers the frequencies around 250 Hz.
In this area, much of the basic frequencies are in this area.
Attenuated you can achieve a sound that suits slap technique on
electric bass. Raising lo-mid will suit fretless electric basses and
acoustic basses and add more sustain to the sound as well. The filter
is potent and should be used with caution.
