2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

2.1 Front panel

Fig. 2.1: BX4410/BX4410A front panel (section 1)

The 

LEVEL

 VU meter reads the level that is applied to the

preamp circuitry of the BX4410/BX4410A.

+

If the GAIN control 

 is set fully counterclockwise,

the  VU  meter  reads  the  input  level  only.  Selecting

“Active” 

  instead  of  “Passive”  is  recommended

if  the  input  level  appears  too  high  (in  the  right-hand

third  of  the  VU  meter).  Use  the  GAIN  control  to  set

the  amplifier  properly  (so  that  the  meter  is  in  the

mid  region).  The  overall  volume  can  be  adjusted

with  the  OUTPUT  control 

.

These  are  the  inputs  for  your  electric  bass  guitar.  The

PASSIVE

 jack is for passive basses, the 

ACTIVE

 jack for

active  instruments  with  high  output  levels.  The  ACTIVE

jack features 10 dB less gain.
Use the 

GAIN

 control to determine the input gain on your

BX4410/BX4410A.
Connect  your  footswitch  to  the 

FOOTSWITCH

  jack,  so

as  to  control  the  sub-harmonics  processor  and  SHAPE

filter.
With the sub-harmonics processor switched on (see 

)

you can add ultra-low bass frequencies to your sound by

turning the 

ULTRABASS

 control (see chapter 5).

Press the 

ULTRABASS

 switch to enable the sub-harmonics

processor: The LED above the switch lights up.

The 

BASS

 control in the EQ section allows you to boost or

cut the bass frequencies at approx. 50 Hz.
Press  the 

DEEP

  switch  to  add  low  frequencies  (ranging

from  30  -  200  Hz)  to  your  bass  sound.  When  the  DEEP

function is switched on, the LED above the switch lights up.
This  control  governs  the  upper  bass-frequency  range  at

approx. 140 Hz.
The 

MIDDLE

  control  allows  you  to  boost/cut  the  low

midrange frequencies at approx. 500 Hz.
This  control  raises/lowers  the  high  midrange  frequencies

at approx. 1.6 kHz.
The 

TREBLE

  control  governs  the  high-frequency  range

on your BX4410/BX4410A at approx. 7.5 kHz.
Use this switch to enable/disable the 

BRIGHT

 effect, which

adds some brilliance to the treble frequencies in the range

from  2  -  20  kHz.  When  the  BRIGHT  function  is  on,  its

respective LED lights up.

When you enable the SHAPE filter with switch 

,  you

can use the 

SHAPE

 control to modify the filter sound. The

filter position is adjustable in the range from 120 Hz - 1.2 kHz.
The 

SHAPE

 switch activates the SHAPE filter. When the

filter is on, the LED above the switch lights up.
Use the 

OUTPUT

 control to determine the overall volume

of  your  BX4410/BX4410A.
