Normal and High inputs are provided for connection of bass guitars. High output basses, either Active or Passive
should be connected via the High socket. Low output basses should be connected using the normal input. High
output basses may also be placed in the Normal input if pre-amp overloading is desired.
This control is used to set the level of gain present in the pre-amp. The higher the level of gain, the more the signal
will clip producing distortion. The Gain control should be used in conjunction with the Volume control to produce
the desired signal characteristics.
Engages and disengages the on-board compressor, which when active compresses the signal giving a punchier
sound. The status can easily be seen with the two leds - one indicating that the compressor is engaged with the
other indicating the compressor is active. The amount of compression is controlled by the Gain control. The
higher the setting the more compression. With most guitars compression will begin at about 5-6 on the control. It
is possible to have the compressor engaged but it only be active during certain periods of playing - typically the
most dynamic sections
