DYNAMICS CONTROLS
The dynamics modeler has two control knobs
between the BOOST and LEVEL knobs. We will refer
to these as Left Dynamics knob and Right Dynamics
knob.
LEFT DYNAMICS KNOB
(See description in MODES 1-3 below)
RIGHT DYNAMICS KNOB
(See description in MODES 1-3 below)
Turn the left dynamics knob all the way to the left
to bypass the dynamics modeler. Threshold in all
3 modes is 0dB to -40dB with auto make up gain
(turning clockwise increases gain / compression).
The right LED above the BYPASS foot switch will
light RED when the dynamics modeler is working.
This acts like a meter to assist in setting the
threshold/amount knob control.
The dynamics modeler has 3 modes and the
knobs change roles for each of the modes as
follows… Set the mode with the dynamics toggle
switch located between the dynamics knobs.
DYNAMICS TOGGLE SWITCH
- The dynamics
modeler has three different modes. Compressor,
Limiter and Leveler.
MODE 1 –
COMPRESSOR (TOP POSITION)
Left Dynamics knob controls the THRESHOLD
and Right Dynamics knob controls the RATIO of
the compressor effect.
Ratio range is 1:1 to 5:1.
Attack and release are fixed at 3 milliseconds and
80 milliseconds.
MODE 2 – LIMITER (MIDDLE POSITION)
Left Dynamics knob controls the LIMITING and
Right Dynamics knob controls the KNEE of the
limiter effect.
The LIMITING knob controls the amount
of limiting and the KNEE knob adjusts how
gradually the limiter begins to limit the signal.
knee is 0-100%. Limiter has no attack and
release time.
MODE 3 – LEVELER (BOTTOM POSITION)
Left Dynamics knob controls the DRIVE and
Right Dynamics knob controls the ATTACK of
the leveler effect.
This mode acts like a soft-clipping leveler. The
drive pushes for more clipping and the attack
controls the style of clipping (from soft to
hard.) Attack is 0-100%. It controls softness of
transition to leveling (not attack time). Leveler
Attack and release are fixed at 10 milliseconds and
100 milliseconds.
LEVEL KNOB - The LEVEL knob controls the
overall level of the BASS BOX when the pedal
is enabled.
AMP/CAB MODE TOGGLE SWITCH
- The AMP/
CAB select switch is located near the LEVEL
knob. This switch selects from one of 3
different amp/cab combinations. BASS BOX
comes preloaded with 3 different amp/cabinet
combinations loaded into these 3 switch
options. You can use the editor software to
change these 3 slots and customize the impulse
response files in each slot.
From the factory these three positions are
assigned as:
TOP POSITION
-SOLID STATE AMP 1x12 cab.
MIDDLE POSITION
-TUBE AMP 4x10 cab.
BOTTOM POSITION
-SVT AMP 8x10 SVT cab.
BOOST CONTROLS
BOOST KNOB
- Adjusts the amount of gain for the selected boost style.
BOOST TOGGLE SWITCH -Selects the style of boost. Top position OVERDRIVE (OD), middle position
TUBE or bottom position FET.
BOOST FOOT SWITCH
- The boost function is toggled between enabled and disabled when you press
the BOOST foot switch.The LED above the BOOST foot switch will turn on RED when the boost is on.
