Congratulations on the purchase of your new Eden World Tour Integrated
Amplifier System. All of us at Eden are totally committed to providing you
with the very best bass guitar systems in their class. Our goals are to offer
you the outstanding performance quality of a top-notch, professional bass
amplification system at a reasonable price point, and to make World Tour
amplifiers the most musical and reliable Bass amplifiers available.

This manual will cover all domestic and international versions of the
WTB1000 integrated amplifier.

The WTB1000 delivers 325 watts RMS output @ 8 Ohms, 500 watts @ 4
Ohms and 600 watts @ 2 Ohms with both channels driven. In Bridge Mode,
it delivers 1000 Watts RMS @ 8 Ohms, and 1200 watts @ 4 Ohms. Both
modes of operation have +3dB of headroom. This amplifier offers two
independent power amps and features a thermostatically-controlled, active
cooling system with built-in thermal safeties.

You have purchased what we feel is one of the finest bass amplifiers
in the world. The new pre-amplifier section, with its familiar Eden Enhance
control and powerful new tone control system are coupled to a studio quality
compressor. The new automatic Dynamic Booster for low and high
frequencies, along with Graphic EQ and a gentle auto-compression
circuit, allow you to achieve a wide array of sounds. This compact,
rack mountable package houses modular circuits made with superior
components and designed for years of trouble-free service.
