Description of the Front Panel Controls
Input Jack
The input signal is inserted here for standard operation. Because of the
wide level range available from our special input and gain circuitry, only
one input jack is required for both passive and active instruments.
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.
Level set light
This is the red LED indicator 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.
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 the bypass switch
useful for getting that maximum punch when your slapping or popping
hard.
