The Magic Smoke
– Few people realize just how much magic goes into
creating Great Bass Tone. It isn’t something you normally need worry about.
Just have fun and leave all that to us. However –
and this is very important
–
if you ever release the Magic Smoke from your amplifier this is indeed a
Very Bad Thing
, perhaps the worst thing you can do. If you see any smoke
(Magic or otherwise) coming out of your amplifier, immediately turn it off
and seek the services of a qualified magician…uhm, we mean…technician.
DO NOT continue to use the amplifier in this condition
.

Service –
In the event of amplifier malfunction, or questions about your
unit’s operating features that aren’t answered in this manual or on our
website, you should contact your Dealer. Once you and your dealer have
determined it’s definitely a malfunction (and not an operator error) you must
call our Customer Service Department and
obtain a Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA)
. We WILL NOT accept any gear sent without an
RMA, so save the time and money by calling first, ok?
Please Note
– International purchasers need to contact their local dealers or
distributor for warranty terms, conditions and service providers in their own
countries.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES
Input Jacks
– Designed to accept a standard 1/4-inch mono phone plug. For
best results use a high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to
the amplifier. Both inputs are fully buffered and will handle standard
passive, high level active, and piezo input signals. Both jacks can be used
simultaneously.
Mute switch
– Mutes all the outputs except the Tuner Out, allowing for
silent tuning. Lead singers and guitarists love this feature! The indicator
lights when Mute is ON.
D.I. Selector
– Allows the user to send the D.I. before (PRE position) or
after (POST position) the Tone Control section.
Input Gain Switch
– By pushing the Gain Switch in, you engage a +10db
gain boost. For low gain instruments use the High Gain position.
Hi Gain Indicator LED
– Lights to indicate that the unit is in the high gain
position.
Warm Switch
– This switch engages the positive half-wave tube-style
warmth circuit, which is part of what the Golden Ear Chip is there for. The
warmth/grit effect is increased by adding more input gain.
Warm Trim
– Located behind the front panel. Use a small screwdriver to
adjust the level of the effect.
Gain Control
– Regulates the first gain stage of the preamplifier and
controls the amount of signal available to the system.
Clip Indicator
– Flashes to indicate clipping anywhere in the system.
Clipping is a
Very Bad Thing
and will degrade the quality of your sound.
Therefore, this indicator should never be lit up.
Compressor Control
– This adjusts the threshold level of the compressor.
The ratio is fixed at an optimum point for Bass reproduction.
Compressor Indicator
– Lights to indicate that the signal has crossed the
threshold of the compression circuit and that compression is taking place.
