K. BASS INTENSIFIER - A new SWR
®
tone circuit that
boosts of a chosen set of low-frequencies combined
with a smooth, fast-acting compressor. The boost and
compression work in harmony to allow radical boosts
in the chosen bass and lower midrange frequencies
without the side-effect of overdriving the amplifier
circuitry. Once dialed in, it literally intensifies the bass
tone in your sound. It can be used as a boost for
certain, heavier sections of a tune, or just as a part of
your overall preferred sound.
ENGAGE - Activates the BASS INTENSIFIER circuit
as indicated by the LED
.
LEVEL - Adjusts the amount of bass boost added by
the BASS INTENSIFIER. Hint: Adjust slowly, so you
can hear the difference a small amount of this effect
can have on your tone.
CUTOFF - Adjusts the frequency range boosted by
the BASS INTENSIFIER. When fully counter-
clockwise, only frequencies below ~80Hz are
affected. When fully clockwise, frequencies below
~200Hz are affected.
To best hear what this control does: 1. Decrease
MASTER Volume to half its normal setting (or less).
2. Set LEVEL to maximum. 3. Set CUTOFF to 80Hz.
4. Play a note repeatedly (low ‘E’ or low ‘A’) and slowly
rotate CUTOFF clockwise. You will hear additional
frequencies being boosted as you turn the dial, and
the overall effect will seem louder because more
frequencies are being boosted. As always, your ears
are the best judge. Take some time to experiment and
hear what works best.
L.
LIMITER - This circuit is located after MASTER
Volume and before the power amplifier in the signal
path. Therefore, the circuit is driven by MASTER
Volume. Its threshold (starting point) is preset so you
get the maximum overall apparent volume without
overdriving the power amplifier or internal speakers.
DEFEAT - Disables the internal LIMITER circuitry:
LIMITER ON
LIMITER OFF (DEFEATED)
ACTIVE - Indicates exactly when the LIMITER circuit
is working—only when the LIMITER is ON.
POWER AMP CLIP - Indicates when the power amp
is being overdriven (clipping) causing signal distortion.
Unlike preamp clipping, power amp clipping can be
harmful to your equipment. Therefore, if the POWER
AMP CLIP LED flashes often, either engage the
LIMITER or turn down the MASTER Volume.
M. MASTER VOLUME - Use to set the loudness output
from your speakers (and headphones) after all other
levels are set, including external effects. MASTER
Volume does not affect any output levels other than
the SPEAKERS {Q} and HEADPHONES {R}.
N. POWER SWITCH - Switches power on-off to the
amplifier as indicated by the LED.
