signal incoming the effect unit. This distortion is not
monitored by the clipping indicator. It is only audible.
In any case of audible distortion reduce the gains.
You can mute the channels either by mute switches
per channel or via footswitch.
• Tone controls
The three band tone controls of your DOMINO are
designed to fulfill the special requirements of acoustic
instruments as well as general demands of other
sources. The “Colour“- switches activate a “mid-cut
treble-boost“-filter, which is particularly appropriate
for fingerstyle techniques.
• Effects
The DOMINO has an integrated (internal) digital 32
bit AER-effect processor, providing you with
16 presets (reverb, delay, chorus – see Appd. 1) to
be selected by the “Effect Select“-switch. The
“Return“- control determines the intensity of the
total effect (as far left as possible = no effect).
The individual effect sends adjust the amount of
effect per channel.
Furthermore a supplementary effect device can be
connected (external effect). For this purpose, use
the sockets “Send“ and “Return“ on the rear of the
DOMINO (“Send“ to the input, “Return“ to the out-
put of the external effect). The intensity will then
be determined by the Effect 2-return.
You can connect a stereo (double) footswitch either
to footswitch effect or footswitch 1,2,3,4 to switch
the effects on/off (internal and external) or mute
the channels.
4. Summary of Operations
• Connecting and starting-up:
Check to ensure that mains voltage at your location
corresponds to what is permitted to operate the
DOMINO. You will find the necessary information
on the sticker at the rear side of the amp under
“voltage“. Before switching on the amp, “Master“ and
“Return“ controls should be turned to zero position
(as far left as they may go) and all other controls to
middle position. Then make all necessary cable
connections (mains, instruments, microphone and
link). Now you can turn on your DOMINO with the
power switch on the rear of the amp. The green
power indicator shows that the amp is working.
• Level control
You can use the “High/Low“-switch, the “Line/Mic“-
switch and the “Gain“-control to adjust the various
pick-up systems and signal sources to the DOMINO.
The “Clip“-indicator shows that the input signal is
too high. To ensure distortion-free reproduction you
should then reduce “Gain“-control or “Volume“-
control on your signal source.
Clipping can already accure at very low or even
maximum gain depending on the output of your
source. Pleace verify: set the master control to zero
position. Play at a high dynamic level and increase
the gain level to the point the clip indicator starts
to flicker. With that you can be sure that youre source
is able to fully address the inputstage. Reduce the
gain a little bit to generate additional dynamic head-
room and then use the master control to adjust the
final overall volume.
Temporary flickering gives no cause of concern. But
you should pay attention not to get above this level.
