FRONT PANEL FEATURES
Input Jacks
– Designed to accept a standard ¼ inch mono phone plug. For
best results use a high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to
the amplifier. Both inputs are buffered and will handle standard passive,
high level active, and piezo input signals. Both jacks can be used
simultaneously with a single stereo instrument, or to connect two separate
instruments. If using two instruments, you can select which channel is active
via the front panel switch or the included foot controller.
Mute switch
– Mutes all the outputs except the Tuner Out, allowing for
silent tuning. Lead singers and guitarists love this feature! The indicator
between the two Inputs lights up when Mute is ON.
Turbo Boost Switch
– By pushing the Turbo Boost Switch IN, you engage
a +6dB gain boost. This is great for solos, or when the guitarist cranks up his
amp.
Single Channel Select
– Use this switch to select Channel 1 or Channel 2
from the front panel.
Dual Channel Select
– Engage this switch when using a stereo instrument.
When engaged, this disables the Single Channel Select switch.
Gain Controls
– Regulate the first gain stage of the preamplifier and
controls the amount of signal available to the system.
Turbo Boost Indicators
– Lights to indicate that the unit is in Turbo Boost
mode.
Clip Indicators
– 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 Controls
– These adjust the threshold level of the compressor.
The ratio is fixed at an optimum point for Bass reproduction. Each channel
has its own compressor so that you can set compression individually. To
disable the compressors, turn the controls fully counter-clockwise.
