some of the enhance control to see if this tone gives you more of what you want to
hear.
To sum things up
You will always have the best results creating a great bass tone around the natural
tone of your instrument.
High quality Bass Amplifier systems like the David Series products are designed to
enhance and deliver the natural good qualities of your instrument. If you are
playing a bass with extreme tonal qualities (like an upright or a vintage bass), it
may be helpful to use an equalizer (EQ) with your bass. The EQ can be installed
between the bass and the amplifier or inserted into the Effects Loop of the
amplifier. The closer to flat you are on the Tone Controls the more the natural tone
of your bass guitar will be able to come through. It will also sound more powerful
and dynamic. The golden rule of tone controls is that, “Those who equalize least
equalize best.” Use what you need but be careful not to over equalize. Powerful
tone controls can create problems as well as solve them.
Output Limit Light
This LED indicator is located next to the Master Control Level pot. It will come on
when the amplifier hits full output power. This should light up on occasion when
the amplifier is played hard. It should not be on all the time.
Tube Replacement
– Tube life varies greatly depending upon use, vibration, and
tube quality. It is uncommon for a tube to last less than a year in our circuits.
Tube life of several years is not at all uncommon. Symptoms of tube failure
include signal loss, distortion, and increased noise. The tube is easily replaced by
removing the unit’s cover. Use a genuine Eden 7025 / 12AX7 or equivalent.
Always disconnect the power cord from the back of the unit prior to removing
the cover.
