CHANNEL 2
Channel 2 offers a different approach to sculpting your sound. The parametric EQ
allows you to bring out particular frequencies to get maximum output and dynamics
with natural warmth and presence.
Drive
Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section
of a tube amp is being pushed.
Bass and Treble
These active tone controls cut or boost ±12dB from unity gain at 12 o’clock.
Mid Shift and Mid
Sweepable, semi-parametric EQ controls range from 170 Hz to 3.0 kHz, ±16dB,
respectively. With the Mid Shift control, you can select the center frequency of the
mid-range control. With the Mid control, you can then cut or boost that frequency.
NOTE: If you set Mid Shift at 1kHz, Mid operates as a traditional mid-range control.
Level
Adjusts the volume level of Channel 2.

SansAmp™ XLR Direct Out
For recording, the SansAmp XLR output is like having a built-in direct box. You can
go direct to the board and get the same sound you hear coming out of the speakers
right onto tape or disc. The SansAmp circuitry not only captures the warm, rich, nat-
ural harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers, its
speaker emulation encompasses all aspects of multiply-miked tube amp rigs.
For live gigs, you can use this output direct into the PA system and you won’t need a
microphone in front of the amp. And you won’t have to subject the audience to a
sterile, muddy, or boomy bass tone.

Level Selector Switch
Allows you to connect the Landmark 300 via the XLR Output to other equipment with
a variety of signal levels:
0dB position.
Line-level output.
-10dB position.
Pads down the line-level signal by 10dB.
Ground Lift
Connects or disconnects the ground circuits between the XLR Output of the amp and
the mixer. We recommend starting with the ground lifted. If necessary, connect the
ground by pushing the button in.
Pre-Amp Output
Effects Loop Send.
Power Amp Input
Effects Loop Return.
Tuner Output
As long as the unit is plugged in, the tuner output provides a constant, unaffected
signal at all times, regardless of the position of the Level controls or the status of the
Mute button on the Optional Footswitch (see next page). This output can also be
used as a buffered out to send a transparent signal to other outboard gear.
USE WITH ACTIVE BASSES
Active electronics have higher output and typically generate more noise. To compen-
sate, we recommend lowering the volume on your bass. Additionally, experiment with
using flat EQ settings and/or decreasing the Drive, Presence (in Channel 1) and
Treble controls.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RACKMOUNTING
1. Unplug unit. Remove top cover. Install rack ears with provided hardware. Replace
top cover.
2. Considering its weight, we recommend mounting unit on bottom of rack case.
3. If there isn’t enough clearance at the bottom of the rack case, detach the rubber
feet simply by removing the screws.
4. If there’s too much clearance (with or without the rubber feet) and you have a gap,
provide additional support to the rear of the unit (such as larger feet, wooden shims,
etc.).
