SET UP AND GETTING STARTED
Before turning on your Nemesis Combo, you need to do a few things first. If
your unit was shipped directly to you from a dealer, check carefully for hidden
freight damage before you attempt to operate the unit. If you find any damage,
notify your dealer and the freight line immediately. If you picked up your unit
from your dealer, it was probably set up and tested out already. Just in case, we
suggest that you go through the set up now.
INITIAL SET UP
Before you plug in your unit for the first time, please do the following things
.
First, turn the power switch to the off position. Check the back of your unit for
the correct voltage notation for your county of operation
.
Once you’ve ensured correct voltage, set the Gain control to Minimum (0). Set
the tone controls to center position (12:00 or 0). Next, plug in the power cord to
the AC inlet on the back of the unit.
Use only a safe grounded receptacle for
proper operation at the correct voltage for your country
. Double Check to
make certain your amplifier is set for the correct voltage in your country.
Once you’ve completed the steps above, you can plug in your Bass and turn on
the unit. Turn the volume up until you reach a comfortable sound level.
OPERATION & DESCRIPTION of CONTROLS
INPUT JACK
The Input Jack will accept most Bass Guitar output levels. If you have a dual-
battery Bass with output in excess of +10dB, you will probably have to turn the
output of your Bass down to avoid clipping the input. The jacks will accept
most passive and active Basses.
TONE CONTROLS
Your new combo features a 3-band EQ section – Bass, Mid and Treble. When
shaping your sound, always begin with these controls set FLAT (12:00). Make
changes a little at a time. Too much EQ in any band can cause your sound to be
muddy, and that’s a
Very Bad Thing
.
