Mute to Tune 

 

When this switch is engaged it mutes both the stage sound 

and the D.I. send. Only the tuner output stays hot. The Mute is on or muted 
when the LED is on. 
 

Semi-Parametric Equalizer 

 

Allows you to dial in a specific frequency to 

enhance or cut. This feature is especially useful for upright and acoustic bass 
guitars that have a resonant frequency. Because we’ve included a bypass 
switch, you can also use it to create a second tone that is available 
instantaneously. (You’re welcome.) The frequency is adjustable from 40Hz 
to 10KHz. The level can be ad/- 15 dB. The control is FLAT when 
the level control is at 12:00 position (straight up).  
 

Three Band Tone Controls – 

Divides the audio spectrum into three bands: 

Bass, Mid, and Treble. The Bass and Treble controls are shelving type 
filters. The Mid control is a band pass type filter. These controls give you a 
broad general control of the tone shaping. 
 

D.I. Selector

 – Allows the user to choose to send the D.I. either pre-EQ or 

post-EQ. 
 

D.I. Level 

– Controls the level being sent from the XLR balanced output 

jack. We suggest setting the control at approximately 12 o’clock initially. If 
the signal to the board is too hot, it’s better to engage the Input Pad on your 
channel of the board than to turn it down here, if at all possible. In general, 
it’s better (in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic presentation) to 
send as hot a signal as possible to the board. However, you can adjust the 
signal level, if necessary, so make sure your soundperson or recording 
engineer is aware of this capability. 

 
Master Volume 

– Controls the main stage sound level and the Head Phone 

outputs. 
 

Headphone Jack

 – Accepts a standard ¼ inch stereo or mono headphone 

plug. It can also be used as a Master Output send to slave another amplifier. 

 
DC Indicator

 – When lit, shows that the low voltage power supplies are 

operating.
