•Speakon® Connectors.
These high
quality plugs lock securely to ensure
maximum power transfer and provide
fool-proof connections.
•1/4” Connectors
provide a backup connection, should your cables not be
available or if you use a conventional cabinet that does not use Speakon plugs.
SansAmp™ XLR Direct Out
For recording, the SansAmp XLR output is like having a built-in direct box. You can
go direct to the board and get the same sound you hear coming out of the speakers
right onto tape or disc. The SansAmp circuitry not only captures the warm, rich, nat-
ural harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers, its
speaker emulation encompasses all aspects of multiply-miked tube amp rigs.
For live gigs, you can use this output direct into the PA system and you won’t need a
microphone in front of the amp. And you won’t have to subject the audience to a
sterile, muddy, or boomy bass tone.
Level Selector Switch
Allows you to connect the VT Bass 1969 via the XLR Output to other equipment with
a variety of signal levels:
0dB position.
Line-level output.
-10dB position.
Pads down the line-level signal by 10dB.
Ground Lift
Connects or disconnects the ground circuits between the XLR Output of the amp and
the mixer. We recommend starting with the ground lifted. If necessary, connect the
ground by pushing the button in.
Pre-Amp Output
Effects Loop Send.

Power Amp Input

Tuner Output
As long as the unit is plugged in, the tuner output provides a constant, unaffected
signal at all times, regardless of the position of the Level controls or the status of the
Mute button on the Footswitch. This output can also be used as a buffered out to
send a transparent signal to other outboard gear.
TRIPLE-FUNCTION FOOTSWITCH
The Footswitch further expands the VT Bass 1969’s capabilities:
•CHANNEL
remotely switches between the two channels.
•MUTE
allows you to silently tune your guitar or change instruments.
•MIX
engages both channels simultaneously, giving you three footswitchable
sound options.
Corresponding LED indicators let you know the status of each switch. The
Footswitch is powered via the cable, so batteries are not required. And, unlike most
amps which require a custom multi-pin connector, this Footswitch is engineered to
utilize
any
standard 1/4” instrument or speaker cable. You can easily replace the
cable should you lose it, or purchase different cable lengths to suit your particular
needs.
