Bassbone V2 Preamp
Radial Engineering Ltd.
USING THE POWER BOOSTER
The Bassbone is equipped with a
footswitch activated power booster
designed to add gain for soloing. It
can also be used to compensate for
effect pedals that reduce the amount
of bass frequencies, such as pedals
made for guitar. The power booster
consists of a footswitch with LED
indicator and a boost level control.
Set the BOOST level fully counter-
clockwise for the minimum amount
of boost. Next, depress the BOOST
footswitch and increase the amount
of gain by slowly turning the BOOST
level control clockwise.
MUTE FUNCTION
Since some bass players do not require a power booster the BOOST
footswitch can be converted to a mute that turns off the ¼” AMP and XLR
direct outputs. You can use the mute footswitch to put one bass in standby
mode while changing to another instrument, or tune in silence using the
¼" TUNER output.
The recessed BOOST/MUTE switch
located on the side next to the ¼"
output lets you choose between
the boost or mute functions. Push
the switch inward to convert the
footswitch from boost to a mute
function. The switch is recessed to
prevent accidental use and can be
accessed with a small screwdriver.
CONNECTING A TUNER
The Bassbone is equipped with a buffered ¼” output for your tuner. This
output is always on for tuning on the fl y and may be used in conjunction
with the mute footswitch function for silent on-stage tuning.
