Making Connections
Your BP-8 Valve can be connected in several different ways to meet the requirements of specific applications. The following diagrams offer
some different ways your BP-8 Valve can be connected.
For those of you out there that feel that “bigger is better”, this set-up should work quite nicely for you. First plug your bass into the input of the
BP-8 Valve. Connect both BP-8 Valve outputs into the inputs of both of the amplifiers. Using a set-up such as this will let you produce bass
tones with lots of body. This is also a great set-up to produce lush and thick stereo effects.
BP-8 Valve into two Bass Amplifiers
The BP-8 Valve’s Preamp Section allows you to run direct to a mixing board. First, plug your bass into the Input of the BP-8 Valve. Next,
connect cables from both Left and Right Outputs into the Mixing board. Adjust the Output Level to match the sensitivity of your mixer. Be
careful as too much output level can distort the input stage of your mixer channels.
