Normal and High inputs are provided for connection of bass
guitars. High output basses, either Active or Passive should
be connected via the High socket. Low output basses should be
connected using the normal input.
High output basses may
also be placed in the Normal input if pre-amp overloading is
desired.
This control is used to set the level of gain present in the
pre-amp. The higher the level of gain, the more the signal
will clip producing distortion. The GAIN control should be
used in conjunction with the VOLUME control (9) to produce
the desired signal characteristics.
Engages and disengages the on-board compressor.
This
compresses the input-signal giving a punchier sound.
In
association with the compressor are two LED s,one indicating
that the compressor is engaged and one indicating the
compressor is active. It is possible to have the compressor
engaged but it only be active during certian periods of
playing - typically the most dynamic sections.
Controls the low-frequency response of the pre-amplifier
The 7-band onboard GRAPHIC-EQ allows extensive tonal-shaping
to be achieved. With the sliders along the centre-line the
GRAPHIC-EQ will exert a flat signal- response it is at this
point that individual frequency-bands can be cut or boosted.
Moving the slider beneath the centre-line will incur a
frequency-cut
conversely, pushing the slider above the
centre-line facilitates frequency-boost. As a general rule,
avoid extreme settings of the sliders:
try to set the
GRAPHIC with as little cut or boost as possible.
Controls the high-frequency response of the pre-amplifier.
Allows the on-board LIMITER to be defeated if desired. With
the switch in the out position the limiter is engaged. The
limiter is automatically triggered at high-output levels
and is designed to prevent power-amp distortion at high-
output levels. When the limiter is autpmatically triggered
an LED lights up to indicate the limiter is active. It is
possible to have the limiter engaged but not have the LED
active.
The limiter monitors both power-amp clipping and
load so it automatically registers the cabinet-impedance and
sets itself accordingly.
Sets the overall listening level of the amplifier.
XLR socket for direct-injection of the amplifier signal to a
mixing-desk or additional power-amplifier. The XLR socket
provides a low-impedance balanced output-signal.
This socket(s) should be used to connect an extension-
cabinet.
The impedance of the extension-cabinet must
not be less than 8 Ohms.
Connecting cabinets that have a
lower impedance than 8 Ohms will result in the amplifier
overheating.
Continual use in this
manner may cause
permanent damage. Connecting a cabinet with an impedance of
greater than 8 Ohms will cause no damage to the amplifier but
will result in a reduced output.
Socket for connecting external tuner.
Send and return sockets are provided for connecting external
effects-units..
