BASS ATTACK Typical Set-ups

There are many different ways to use the Bass Attack, however, the basic connection is
the same in most installations and applications. The following sections detail the connec-
tions for a Bass plugged into an on stage amplifier and feeding a main PA mixer in a live
situation, and also, using the pre-amp with external effects feeding a console in a record-
ing situation. Follow these simple steps to get connected:

Direct Insertion of an Instrument into a PA System

One of the most common applications for using a DI, like the Bass Attack, is getting the
signal of a bass guitar into the PA system.  Simply put, the low frequencies produced by
bass are difficult to mic, so use of a DI box is almost always preferable. In addition, the
signal going to PA system can be tweaked by the FOH (front of house) engineer, without
affecting the sound the musician dials up on stage. Follow the diagram and steps below to
connect a guitar to a PA mixer.

Connect the output of the guitar or bass to the Bass Attack’s INPUT.

Connect Bass Attack’s PARALLEL OUTPUT to the input of the guitar or bass amplifier.

Connect Bass Attack’s DIRECT OUTPUT to the input of main PA mixer.
