Power On LED 

The power on (green) LED turns on when unit is powered up and stays on as long as unit is in normal 
operating condition.  If the green power on LED is not on after you power on the main switch.  The 
unit has a problem and is not in proper operating condition.  If the green power on indicator will not 
illuminate, the unit has an operational problem and needs to be checked out by your dealer or 
authorized DNA service center. 

Peak Level LED 

The amber colored Peak Level LED flashes briefly when your unit

’s

 

output amplifier exceeds 0.01% 

total harmonic distortion.  This function is basically a peak output indicator, though it comes on at well 
below the actual peak output of the amplifier.

 

Input Pad 

Located on the Gain control pot. Use this control switch to reduce the signal level of your bass if it is 
coming into your unit at too high a level to match up correctly with the input gain control.   

DI Level Send 

Located on the back panel.  DI Level Send allows you to control the level of the DI signal going to

 

the 

mixing or recording console.  This control allows you to adjust from microphone level to low line level.  

DI Pre/Post Switch 

Located on the Shape control pot. The Pre/Post DI switch allows you to select either pre-tone or post 
tone single configuration to send to the DI output.  This feature is only available from the front panel.   

 

Compressor Threshold Control 

The Threshold Control sets the level at which the compressor begins to compress.  This is also called 
the knee of the compressor.  Turning the control to the right will allow the compressor to engage 
sooner.  Turning the control more to the left it will let the compressor engage at a higher signal level 
or not at all. 

Compressor Ratio Control 

The Compressor Ratio Control allows you to select the way the signal is compressed.  When the 
control is set to the left side near zero, it will compress very gently, at a low compression ratio.  As the 
control is turned to the right, the ratio will become higher until it becomes a hard limiter at the control

’s 

far right position.

 

Compressor Bypass Switch 

Located on the Threshold control  pot. The Compressor Bypass Switch allows you to preset the 
compressor to the desired level or effect in playing situations, and then to bypass the compressor, 
when you no longer want to use the compression effect.  Note: The comp. Led will not blink while 
playing  when it is in the bypass mode.
