Set VOLUME controller in optimum and then set appropriate input sensitivity by using
GAIN controller. GAIN controller should be set in a way that ensures to control the
amplifier on required level. It is necessary to remember not to allow to overload the
preamplifier while hard hitting the strings. The overload is indicated with OVERLOAD
indicator [3].
Begin with setting BASS and TREBLE controllers. If you need more bass tone
saturation, use the DBS switch. If you need to brighten the instrument color, use the
TREBLE switch.
Creating of advanced tone color is possible thanks to PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER. One
can switch on the EQUALIZER using button [7]. Using EQUALIZER you can precisely
adjust mid tones color. PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER is composed of 2 controllers −
MIDDLE and FREQUENCY. Operating with these 2 controllers, you can select proper
tone color range you want to amplify or cut out. Available tone color adjustment range
is set between 120Hz and 4kHz. It corresponds with range up to bass sounds
throughout whole mid band up to high tones. The EQUALIZER operation is described
in point 7 of the operation manual.
In order to enrich the instrument sound you are allowed to use additional sound
effects. The effect loop on the back panel with SEND and RETURN are meant for that.

Basic elements that make up the character of desired sound are tone color and
dynamics. Section composed of controllers BASS, TREBLE, PARAMETRIC
EQUALIZER as well as switches DBS and TREBLE is responsible for tone color.
Firstly set tone color using only BASS and TREBLE controllers and DBS and
TREBLE switches. In case when the adjustment is insufficient, use
PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER.
