FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW – CONTINUED
1. EDGE/BRITE/FLAT – This switch sets the high frequency (Treble/Presence) response of the reactive load
in the Power Load. This will determine how much of your load amplifier’s top end presence and clarity
will be retained. At high volume settings, this switch will normally be set FLAT or possibly BRITE if you
want a little more cut in your live or recorded mix.
2. DEEP/WARM/FLAT - This switch sets the low frequency (Bass/Resonance) response of the reactive load
in the Power Load. This will determine how much of your load amplifier’s low end punch and depth will
be retained. At high volume settings, this switch will normally be set FLAT or possibly WARM if you want
a little more low-end projection in your live or recorded mix.
NOTE: These switches only operate when your load amplifier’s speaker output is connected to the Power
Load Amp In jack. They remain operational whether the Power Load is powered on or off.
3. LEVEL – This adjusts the output level of the headphone amp output DIRECT 2 and DIRECT 1 outputs.
NOTE: This does NOT adjust the output level of the CAB THRU.
4. PHASE REVERSE SWITCH – Flips the phase of the audio signal 180 degrees for the DIRECT OUT 2 outputs only.
CAB + MIC SECTION
5. IN/OUT – This switch engages the analog CAB + MIC Emulator. You can dis-engage this section if you are using
an external Impulse Response cabinet simulator.
6. CONTOUR: LO MID, HI MID – These speaker curve simulation controls adjust two bands of mid frequency
behavior of the CAB + MIC emulator. Control range is +/- 12dB, center detent is flat.
7. EMPHASIS – This microphone simulation control adjusts the high frequency behavior of the CAB + MIC
emulator in conjunction with the AIR/BITE SWITCH. Control range is +/- 12dB, center detent is flat.
8. AIR/BITE – This switch selects the type of mic and placement simulation. The AIR setting creates a more
open sound (emphasizing higher frequencies), similar to an off-axis mic placement. The BITE setting
creates a more pronounced top end, accentuating the upper-mid frequencies, similar to an on-axis mic
placement.
9. POWER INDICATOR L.E.D. – Indicates when 12VDC electrical power is connected.
