“Dual Mode” is a mode of operation on the Mo’ Bass, and acts as an individual effect on the Mo’
Control. If you activate the Dual Mode switch on the Mo’ Control, the Mo’ Bass will split its signal
into “clean” and “dir ty” channels and route those split signals to different sides of the power amp.
(For more information, please consult the “Dual Mode” section of your Mo’ Bass Owner’s Manual.)
Again, think of Dual Mode as just another individual effect as we fur ther discuss operation of the Mo’
Control.
Bypass
The “Bypass” switch on the Mo’ Control will defeat all active Mo’ Bass effects AT ANY TIME. When
Bypass is engaged, the red LED above the switch on Mo’ Control will illuminate, and the red LED on
the Mo’ Bass marked “Internal EFX Bypass” will illuminate as well. To disengage the Bypass, simply
step on the switch again. The red LED will turn off, and whatever effects you still have on will
become audible.
You’ll notice that the LEDs for any activated effect will remain lit even after you activate the Bypass
function. This way you can set up whatever you want your next effect (or combination of effects) to be
while you have a clean, unaffected bass tone. Then you can disengage the Bypass and be ready to
kick in the right sound for the next section of the tune.
USING THE PRESET GROUP FUNCTION
The Mo’ Bass was designed so that groups of effects could be used in a musical fashion, which isn’t
always the case when taking a bunch of effect pedals and connecting them all together in front of
your amplifier. With the Mo’ Control, you have the capability to program four unique groups of Mo’
Bass effects by using the Preset Group switches.
Up until now we’ve been in Solo Mode—that is, with none of the group switches activated. As an
example, let’s program Preset Group 1.
First, turn off all of the individual effects. Now step on the switch marked “Preset Group 1.” The red
LED above the number 1 should illuminate, but no individual effects should turn on. That’s because
Group 1 is empty; we haven’t put anything in there yet. Now activate the Overdrive, the Mo’ EQ and
the Chorus. To program this group of effects into Preset Group 1, step once more on the “1” switch,
but this time hold your foot down on the switch. After about one second, you should see the red LED
blink. You can now remove your foot from the “1” switch, because you’ve just programmed the group.
It’s that simple.
To check and make sure your programming was stored, step on the “1” switch again, this time in nor-
mal fashion. The red LED above “1” should turn off, as should the Overdrive, Mo’ EQ and Chorus.
You’ve just returned to Solo Mode, which when you left it, had no effects on at all. Now step on the
“1” switch again. You’re back in Group Mode, and the Overdrive, Mo’ EQ and Chorus should all turn
back on. Congratulations! Now you can program the other three groups however you wish. (We recom-
mend re-reading the entire “Front Panel Features” section in your Mo’ Bass Owner’s Manual for some
advice on gain stages, how levels affect other levels, and how effects affect other effects when
using combinations of sounds.)
Will Bypass still work when in Group Mode? You bet. Bypass will deactivate any engaged effects no
matter what mode you’re in. All LEDs will still remain lit as well—the Preset Group LEDs included.
You can even program the Preset Groups while the Bypass is engaged.
You can also add and subtract effects from your preset without changing the preset. In other words,
if, while you’re in a Preset Group, you turn on an extra effect that’s not par t of the group, you’ll hear
