EFFECT BLOCKS
The top of the editor shows the signal flow from the input to the outputs and all of the effect blocks
in between. The order of these blocks cannot be changed.
The signal enters the BOOST block followed by the DYNAMICS block and the EQ block. Before the
signal is sent to the AMP block it goes to the BLEND knob in the editor. If you turn the knob fully left,
only the dry input signal goes to the AMP block. If you turn it all the way to the right, only the wet
signal from the BOOST, DYNAMICS and EQ blocks is sent to the AMP block. Use the BLEND knob to
set the mix of dry/wet that you wish to use.
The signal then goes to the AMP, the CAB block and finally the signal is sent to both the OUT (1/4”
output) and the XLR output.
OUTPUTS
There are two physical outputs on the Bass Box. The OUT (1/4” output) and the XLR output. The
signal assigned to each output can be derived from different points in the effect block signal flow for
different applications. For example you might send the 1/4” output to a power amp and speaker for
on stage monitoring. In that scenario you would likely want to bypass the amp model and the CAB IR
as you’d be using a physical amp and speaker. While the XLR output could go directly FOH (Front Of
House) mixer for the P.A. and include the amp model and CAB IR.
OUT TAP
- This is the signal assigned to the 1/4” output. You can select from BLEND, AMP or CAB.
Selecting BLEND bypasses both the amp modeling and the CAB IR. Selecting AMP bypasses only the
CAB IR. Selecting CAB bypasses nothing.
XLR TAP
- This is the signal assigned to the XLR output. There are a few more options for this output.
You can select from:
INPUT
- This assigns the dry input signal directly to the XLR output.
GAIN
- This assigns the signal with only the BOOST effect block to the XLR output.
DYNA
- This assigns the signal with both the BOOST and DYNAMICS blocks to the XLR output.
EQ
- This assigns the signal with both the BOOST, DYNAMICS and EQ blocks to the XLR output.
BLEND
- This assigns the signal with both the BOOST, DYNAMICS and EQ blocks post BLEND knob to
the XLR output.
AMP
- Selecting AMP bypasses only the CAB IR.
CAB
- Selecting CAB bypasses nothing.
BOOST LEVEL
- This knob sets the output level of the selected boost type. The BOOST knob on the
hardware is a drive control that determines how much overdrive is added to the signal. Neither of
these controls function unless the BOOST foot switch is activated.
LEVEL KNOB Parameter
- There is a LEVEL knob on the top right of the hardware that controls the
overall output level of the pedal. This parameter in the editor allows you to choose if you want this
knob to control just the OUT (1/4” output) or the OUT and the XLR output. If you were using the 1/4”
output to feed a power amp and speaker cabinet on stage while the XLR output was feeding the
FOH (Front Of House) mixer for the P.A. you may want to only control your stage volume with the
hardware LEVEL knob and not affect the level going to the mixer via the XLR output. In this case you
would set this value to OUT. Then you would use the XLR TRIM parameter to set the level going to
the XLR output.
XLR TRIM
- This allows you to set the level of the signal going to the XLR output when the hardware
LEVEL knob is assigned to only control the 1/4” output. Usually a setting of 0dB to -20dB will be
needed for the FOH (Front Of House) mixer.
