Gain Control
The gain control is used to match the output level of your instrument to the proper
operating level for the Amplifier and Compressor Limiter. For normal operation
you should set the control between 10:00 and 1:00, unless you have an unusually
high signal output Bass or a very low output Bass.
Input Pad
To activate the –12dB pad on the input of your unit pull out on the Gain Control
for the channel that you are using, both channels are equipped with this feature.
This should only be used for instruments with extremely high output signals.
Level set light
This is the Green LED indicator located next to the Gain Control. It should be set
to blink on the peaks for normal operation. In hard playing conditions it will come
on more or less depending on how high the gain is set. If the compressor bypass
switch is engaged the LED will come on more often in hard playing conditions.
Compressor and the Compressor Bypass Switch
This switch allows you to bypass the front end Compressor/Limiter. The
Compressor/Limiter in your unit is a fixed threshold type. You adjust the
Compression level by turning the gain control up or down until you get the amount
of compression you want. You may find that the bypass switch is useful for
getting that maximum punch when you are slapping or popping very hard.
Enhance Control
The Enhance control is a complex tone shaping pre-set. It is designed to boost the
lower Bass frequencies, to scoop out the low midrange, and boost the high end up
all at the same time. The control is designed to give you a very quick and simple
way to get a good quality modern Bass tone. 12:00 is considered to be about the
maximum effect on this control and minimum is off. This can be blended with the
other controls to create many unique sounds.
