Guided Tour - Front Panel
1. Effects Send jack - Use this standard 1/4” unbalanced jack to send signal
from the Model 1400/1415 to a professional outboard effects processor such as a
reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, or harmonizer device.* Output level is approxi-
mately 0 dB and is unaffected by the setting of the Volume control. You can also
use the Effects Send jack as a direct output (at unity gain) for routing signal to an
external mixing console or amplifier.
2. Effects Return jack - Use this standard 1/4” unbalanced jack to return signal
to the Model 1400/1415 from a professional outboard effects processor.*
3. Input jack - Connect your bass guitar to the Model 1400/1415 here. This
standard 1/4” unbalanced jack provides a high impedance input and is specially
designed to handle a broad range of bass pickup signals up to 15 volts (allowing
you to use any kind of bass, including those models that contain active circuitry).
4. Contour switch - When pressed in (the “Enhance” setting), the Model
1400/1415 activates a special equalization curve that is designed to emulate the
sound of classic tube bass amplifiers. When out (the “Flat” setting), Contour is
inactive. For more information, see the “Effect of the Contour Switch” section in
this manual.
5. Volume control - This is the overall volume control. For best signal-to-noise
ratio, keep the output of your bass at or near maximum and adjust the amp’s
Volume to the desired level.
* In-line effects (such as footpedals) intended for low signal levels should be
placed between the bass and the amplifier Input and not connected with the
Effects Send and Return jacks.
