The Gain Control is used to match the amplifier to your bass and playing technique.  
Turn the Gain Control up to the point at which the green set level LED comes on and 
flashes on the stronger notes.  That will set your signal level to be in the sweet spot in 
the gain chain.  That will get you the best sound and lowest noise combination. 

Shape Control 

The Shape Control is a complex curve that boosts low end, scoops out the low 
midrange and has a genteel rise toward the treble frequencies.  It is very handy for 
enhancing the tone curve for popping or slapping.  It also works well in the studio for 
giving you a quick way to change or shift to a different tone emphas

i

s.  Be careful not to 

over use it in live playing conditions as the mid scoop can make it difficult to cut through 
if you use too much of the effect. 

Shape Bypass 

The shape bypass is available only by foot switch control.  It allows you to set up the 
Shape Control for a specific tone character and then to bypass it.  You can turn it on 
and off with the footswitch when you need that special tone without having to adjust the 
amplifiers controls each time. FT/SW (A) Jack. Switch  (2). 

4 Band Equalizer Set 

The Four Band Tone Equalizer Set in the 1350 is highly musical and very simple to use.  
The frequency centers are in the right places.  The controls are fast and effective.  All 
four controls interact smoothly, seamlessly, and musically. 

Bass Control 

The Bass Control is set to increase or decrease the low bass frequencies.  When the 
control is set to center, it is inactive. When turned to the left, it goes negative,  and to 
the right it goes positive.  It interacts smoothly with Low Midrange Control. 

 

This control 

is centered around 35 Hz.  This control is helpful for providing a deeper and more solid 
bass tone when needed. 

Low midrange Control 

The Low Midrange Control is inactive at the center position. It controls the bass 
frequencies from just above the low bass control range to the high midrange control.  
This control is centered around 500 Hz.  This control range is useful, adding a little extra 
push or for scooping out the midrange area for

 

getting that perfect tone balance while 

playing jazz and other similar music types.

 

High Midrange Control 

The High Midrange Control is inactive at the center position.  It is set to interact 
smoothly with the Low Midrange Control and covers the upper midrange frequencies.  It 
is centered at about 2K Hz. 

 

This range is useful for adding some cut to your sound for 

playing pop and rock.
