1 – INPUT
You can connect an active or passive bass to this ¼" input jack.
The Classic450 input stage is designed to adapt to any type of
pickup.
2+3 – GAIN & PEAK LED
The input gain should be set to the highest possible level without
overloading the input stage. To find the correct setting, simply
plug in your bass, play and turn up the GAIN knob until the
PEAK LED occasionally lights up. Then reduce the gain slightly.
When set, simply turn up the MASTER volume knob to the
desired level and start playing.
4 – SPECTRACOMP™
Turn this knob to set the desired amount of SpectraComp
compression.
SpectraComp™ uses a so-called spectral or multi-band
approach to compression, allowing for individual compression of
the low, mid and high frequency bands. Multi-band compression
allows a significantly smoother and more transparent
compression without killing dynamics or tone.
SpectraComp™ is an advanced compressor, optimized to get
the best from a bass signal. Turn the knob and try it out! “0”
means “no compression”, while “10” gives you maximum
compression. If you want to learn a bit more about what is going
on behind the scenes, please read the section “SpectraComp In
Depth” below.
