1.
LeVeL A:
Fully variable control, used to set the input sensitivity for channel-A.
2.
on/10M:
Sets the load to 10MΩ for piezo or variable drag for magnetic pickups.
3.
DRAg:
Used to retain the natural feel of the instrument by adjusting the load for
passive pickups.
4.
48V:
LED Indicator lets you know 48V phantom power is activated on the MIC IN.
5.
hPf:
Variable high-pass fi lter rolls off low frequency resonance that can cause
feedback or muddy up the sound.
6. AB:
Channel selector toggles between A and B inputs with LED status indicators.
7. LeVeL B:
Fully variable control, used to set the input sensitivity for channel-B.
8. LoAD:
Switches the input impedance from 10MΩ for piezo transducers to 220kΩ for
magnetic pickups.
9. sig/oVD:
LEDs show signal presence and if you are exceeding the maximum input level.
10. PhAZeR:
Adjusts the relative phase between channel A and B to time align
fundamentals for a more natural sound.
11. 0/180º:
Shifts the Phazer's range from 1

12. MiC 48V:
Turns on the 48V phantom power at the MIC IN.
13. BLenD:
Combines input-A with input-B and lets you mix the
two sources using the front panel level controls.
14.
AuX ouT/DiReCT:
Lets you introduce an isolation transformer
into the stage amp output signal path to reduce hum and buzz
caused by ground loops.
