1.
INPUT
You can connect an active or passive bass to this ¼”
input jack. The input stage of your bass combo is de-
signed to adapt to any type of pickup.
2.
GAIN knob and CLIP LED
The input gain should be set to the highest possible lev-
el without overloading the input stage. To find the cor-
rect setting, simply plug in your bass, play and turn up
the GAIN knob until the PEAK LED occasionally lights
up. Then reduce the gain slightly. When set, simply turn
up the MASTER volume knob to start playing.

DYNAMIC TONE CONTOURING
FILTER SECTION
The Dynamic Tone Contouring Filter Section of this
TC bass combo is
not
your standard bass amp EQ!
Ordinary bass, middle and treble controls boost or cut
the same frequency area when you turn the controls
clockwise or counterclockwise. The tone controls of
a BG250-112, BG250-115 or BG250-210 intelligently
address several different frequencies when you turn
them, integrating not only tone control but also contour-
ing your sound.
By adapting one or more target frequencies and band-
widths at the turn of a single knob, the Dynamic Tone
Contouring Filter Section combines excellent tone
shaping abilities with ease of use.
