Congratulations on your choice of the

bass head !

EBS Fafner

The

is the most powerful,

versatile and complete bass head ever built.
With two separate channels, extensive routing
possibilities, built in compressor, tube section,
dual balanced outputs and super powerful EQ
sections, the amp offers an extremely wide
range of sound possibilities.

EBS Fafner II XD

1. Carefully unpack the bass head.

2. Check that all knobs are set fully counter

clockwise besides the EQ controls marked
BASS, HI MID, TREBLE, MIDDLE and
EDGE which should be set to mid position.
Make also sure all push switches are set to
their outer positions. Now the EBS Fafners
settings are "zeroed" and ready to be
personalized.

3. Turn on the POWER switch. Wait for

approx. 15 seconds before switching on the
STANDBY switch to allow the tube to
warm up.

4. Plug in your bass. While plucking the

strings as hard as you would during your
hardest playing, gradually increase the
GAIN knob unit the peak LED starts to
flash at peaks.

5. Move over to the VOLUME knob and

adjust for the desired output volume.

BUILDING THE SOUND...

6. The first tonal shaping circuitry are the

next to the GAIN control.

prior of further fine tuning of your sound.

7. Enable the filters by pressing the

pushbutton and explore the filter

section.

8. The clean channel also features the use of a

tube buffer for adding those extra
harmonics by pressing the
switch.

9. If you need to refine your dynamics, adjust

the COMP/LIMIT knob to your needs.

10.Engage the drive channel by pressing the

button. Now you have full

control of the drive circuitry with its’ EQ.
Turn up the LEVEL to the desired level
compared with the level from the clean
channel.

11.Now, press the

button. This mode

enables you to serial the two channels, so
now you can dial in your drive sound with
the aid of the filters and options of the clean
channel.

This was a brief introduction of

. As
