‘in’ position applies a mid cut as well as some low and high boost for an alternative
sound that can help create definition and space within a mix of instruments and/or
vocals. In both settings the normal channel EQ controls can be used to further fine
tune the tone.
17. Low
The LOW control adjusts the amount of low-end frequencies in your tone. This amp
has active tone shaping circuits which allow the low frequencies to be precisely
controlled for both the desired sound and also to help control instrument resonances.
18. Mid
The MID control adjusts the amount of middle frequencies in your tone. The middle
frequencies are particularly important in setting the amount of ‘body’ your tone has.
19. High
The HIGH control allows exact adjustment of the treble frequencies within the
sound. At low settings (counter clockwise) the sound will be warm and darker in
character. As the control is increased (clockwise) the sound will become brighter
and more lively.
20. Anti-Feedback
Adjust this control to suppress low frequency acoustic feedback. Sweep from left
to right in order locate the feedback frequency. This will apply a tight filter to cut the
problematic frequency. At lower volumes and when feedback is not a problem then
we recommend leaving this set at minimum.
21. Phase
This will reverse the phase of the signal within the preamp. This can be used in two
ways. Firstly it can also help to suppress acoustic feedback. Secondly this may be
useful if you are using both channels on the same instrument (for example for two
different pickups or microphone). In that case then we recommend switching the
PHASE on one channel and listening to which setting produces the more pleasing
sound.
22. Reverb
The Reverb control sets the overall level of the reverb effect. With the control fully
counter clockwise there will be no reverb. Turning the control clockwise will increase
the amount of reverb.
23. Reverb Type
The four-way selector switch enables you to select between four Reverb types;
Hall
– A lush natural reverb, with the characteristics of a large hall
Studio
– Modelled around a large wooden studio with medium-length reverb time
Chamber
– The shorter reverb time of a smaller room, perfect for rhythmic playing
Plate
– Shiny and dense, voiced to emulate a vintage studio plate reverb
This will apply to both Channel 1 and Channel 2 reverb controls.

24. Reverb Time
This control adjusts the length of the reverb tail. At minimum settings the reverb tail
will be short and at maximum settings the reverb tail will be long. We recommend
trying different Reverb levels and Reverb times to achieve the effect desired.
25. H.P. Filter
This controls a High Pass Filter. Adjust this trim pot to roll off any low-end frequencies
from your amplifier’s output. At the minimum setting the frequency filtered will be
below 25Hz, and at the maximum setting, the frequency filtered will be below 180Hz.
Rolling off low frequencies can help with definition in a mix with other instruments.
26. Brilliance
Adjust this trim pot to apply an increase or decrease to the higher frequencies of
your amplifier’s output. At maximum settings this will result in a brighter, sharper
response from your tone. At lower settings, the tone is warm and mellow.
27. Master
This controls the overall volume of your amplifier. Turning it clockwise increases the
volume.
28. Power Indicator Light
The Power Indicator will light when the amplifier is switched on.
29. Bluetooth
Your SONNET 120 Bluetooth amplifier is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for
wirelessly streaming your favourite music and backing tracks. Press this switch
to pair a Bluetooth device to your SONNET 120 Bluetooth amplifier and toggle
between the modes of operation (see below). Discoverable Mode (slow LED flash)
To connect a Bluetooth device to your SONNET 120 Bluetooth amplifier for the
first time you must make a ‘pairing’ between the two devices. To pair, simply press
and hold the Bluetooth switch on your SONNET 120 Bluetooth amplifier until the
Bluetooth LED displays a slow flash. In this state other Bluetooth devices are able
to ‘see’ your SONNET 120 Bluetooth amplifier (hence the term ‘Discoverable’) and
can make a request to pair.
Whilst the Bluetooth LED is flashing slowly, go to the Bluetooth Settings page of your
Bluetooth device and look for your SONNET 120 Bluetooth amplifier in the list of
available devices. Your amplifier will be identified as ‘SONNET BT’. When ‘SONNET
BT’ appears, simply select this device and wait a few moments for the pairing to be
made. You will hear an audible tone from the amplifier to indicate that a device has
been successfully connected.
If a pairing has not been made within the Discoverable Mode timeout window, the
Bluetooth connectivity will switch off and will wait for user input in order to attempt a
new pairing. Simply press and hold the Bluetooth switch again to enter Discoverable
Mode and restart the pairing process.
