Switching TonePrint slots

BH250 / BG250-208 can store two independent 

TonePrints.

 To switch between these TonePrints, con-

nect an optional TC Switch-3 pedal to the PEDAL jack 
on the rear panel.

Please note that when you switch from one TonePrint 
slot to the other, the current position and parameter 
value of the TonePrint knob is stored. This means that 
when you return to the previously selected TonePrint, 
the position of the TonePrint knob on the front panel 
and the setting of the parameter may not be in sync, so 
be careful when adjusting it.

TONEPRINT LED

The TONEPRINT LED lights up when the TonePrint 
effect is active. To deactivate TonePrint, turn the knob 
fully counterclockwise or use a Switch-3 footswitch 
connected to the PEDAL jack on the rear panel.

6. 

TUNER

The BH250 / BG250-208 tuner allows you to easily tune 
a 4, 5 or 6-string bass.

The tuner is always active.

The E, A, D and G LEDs indicate which strings you are 
currently tuning. When the E 

and

 A LEDs are lit, you 

are tuning the B string. When the D 

and

 G LEDs are 

lit, you are tuning the C string. The string is in perfect 
tune when both green LEDs to the right of the string 
LEDs are lit.

7. 

MUTE switch

To tune you instrument silently, set the MUTE switch to 
“Mute” (bottom position).

The MUTE switch mutes the balanced output as well as 
the speaker and headphones outputs, allowing you to 
tune up with no sound going though your own rig or into
