7.1 Motherboard DIP Switch Settings
On the Motherboard, next to the rotary switch used for the optics
setup, there is a four-position DIP switch, labeled SW2. If your
bass has the HexFX option, this will be hidden under the HexFX
daughterboard. The four slide switches on the unit are labeled
‘1’ through ‘4; their ‘ON’ position is toward the center of the
Motherboard. This switch comes set correctly from the factory, and
normally does not require any changes. However, if the settings
are accidentally changed, note the functions are as follows:
Basses with optical and iceTone pickups (Standard models):
SW2-1 = iceTone normal (OFF) or full-range (ON)
SW2-2 = iceTone gain high (OFF) or low (ON)
SW2-3 = Tone Controls Daughterboard in (OFF) or out (ON)
SW2-4 = not used (future option)
Basses with optical and magnetic pickups (Mag Hybrid Edition):
SW2-1 = Mag Pickup high-passed (OFF) or normal (ON)
SW2-2 = Mag Pickup gain high (OFF) or low (ON)
SW2-3 = Tone Controls Daughterboard in (OFF) or out (ON)
SW2-4 = not used (future option)
Basses with HexFX option:
SW2 has no effect on the individual string 13-pin outputs or
controls, but it still affects the single combined signal, as above.
7.2 HexFX Daughterboard DIP Switch Settings
On the underside of the HexFX Daughterboard, there is a six-
position DIP switch. The six slide switches on the unit are labeled
‘1’ through ‘6’; their ‘ON’ position is toward the center of the HexFX
Daughterboard. This switch comes set correctly from the factory
for MIDI converters and hex DSP devices, and normally does not
require any changes.
However, if the settings are accidentally changed, or if the bass
is to be used without a MIDI or DSP device, the functions are as
follows:
