SOUND MATRIX: Use this rotary knob for
quickly selecting from the different
fundamental sounds.
ACTIVE INPUT: For basses with
high output levels, such as
instruments with active electronics
or humbucking pickups.
PASSIVE INPUT: For traditional basses
featuring passive pickups and circuitry.
GAIN: Controls the input sensitivity of the BassKick
preamp. Adjust to match your instrument’s output
level. Higher gain settings produce punchy rock
sounds.
BASS: This voicing control is
used to define the bottom
end. In center position (12
o’clock) the signal remains
unaffected
MID: Determines to
what extent the
midrange is boosted
or cut.
MASTER: Controls the BassKick’s stage
volume. The LINE OUT jack signal level is not
affected by this control. The DYNACLIP power
amp circuitry kicks in at higher volume levels,
adding an aggressive edge to your bass tone.
TREBLE: Controls the upper frequencies and
subsequently the crispness and overtone content in
your bass sound. For a warmer sound, this control is
situated right after the input stage in the signal chain. In
other words, it also influences preamp saturation.
MAINS: AC power switch.
MAINS SOCKET: Connect the
included Euro-norm mains cable to
this socket. The fuse holder is
integrated in the socket; use specified
replacement fuses only!
PHONES: Plug your headphones into this jack.
Whenever this jack is occupied, the BassKick speaker
output is automatically muted.
SPEAKERS: Use this output to
connect external speakers/cabinets.
Ensure the overall impedance is not
lower than 4 ohms. In other words,
you can connect an additional
cabinet with a minimum
impedance of 8 ohms.
LINE OUT: Use this
balanced output to send
the signal to a mixing
console or additional
power amp. The signal
routed to this jack is
affected by the EQ section
but not the MASTER
control. FX RETURN:
Connect this
jack to your FX
processor’s
OUTPUT jack.
FX SEND: Connect this jack
to the FX processor’s INPUT
jack.
