1 Welcome
If you’re reading this, you are probably a working musician or
audio professional of some kind. You’ve spent years honing
your craft with long, lonely hours spent strumming, picking,
tweaking, bowing, thumping and plucking. Maybe you tour
the world or just play the local pub. You’ve gotten up on stage
tired, given more than you thought you had and driven home
barely awake but your soul ablaze and still singing. You have
friends and bandmates out there that you rely on like family.
Some of your friends, maybe the very best ones, are made of
wood, steel, glue, bone and strings. And now you can welcome
Felix 2 to the latter category.
Regardless of where and how and why you play, from here on
out when you look down at that stage floor, it will be down
there shining back up at you, making you sound better and
your job easier.
While this is not the most complicated piece of gear you’ve
ever operated, it does come with a great deal of flexibility and
setup options, which means we highly recommend you have
a good look at this owner’s manual to familiarize yourself with
the finer points. Once you overcome the learning curve (easy,
we promise), you’ll find Felix 2 to be intuitive, powerful and
really quite user friendly.
Most of all, we made this preamp so you can make great music.
So read this manual and then get back to work!
