American Acoustic Development PJB BASS BUDDY Musical Instrument User Manual


 
11. DC POWER SUPPLY INPUT SOCKET
Use only the dedicated PJB unit for the Bass Buddy.
12. BATTERY COMPARTMENT – REMOVABLE COVER.
13. STEREO INPUT VOLUME CONTROL.
Use to control the level of backing/rhythm track.
14. STEREO MINI-JACK INPUT.
Input feed from music or backing tracks. This input goes directly in stereo to feed the headphones only.
It is not connected to the 5 Band EQ or line outputs.
15. PRE AMPLIFIER OUTPUT JACK.
These are used for driving a power amplifier or feeding a tuner. This output only carries the bass
instrument signal
16. HIGH LEVEL LINE OUT AND SPEAKER OUT JACK.
The Bass Buddy will work on any speaker load from 16 down to 4, which is the safe maximum
load for this amplifier. Any load with impedances less than 4 will cause the internal amplifier fuse to
blow. If this output socket is shorted out this will blow the internal fuse and render the internal
amplifier to shut down until the fuse is replaced. This fuse should only be replaced by qualified service
engineers. This output only carries the bass instrument signal
17. XLR- DIRECT OUTPUT SOCKET.
This is an ultra-low impedance (100) balanced line out for use with recording or PA mixing consoles.
This output is not controlled by the volume control. Changing output level on your instrument will
however, vary DI output. This output only carries bass instrument signal and is post EQ and limiter.
OPERATION
Remove battery plate (12) on back panel, by un-screwing the 2 thumb-screws. Inside the battery
compartment are 4 springs, the top two marked
+ and the lower 2 marked -. It is essential that the
batteries are connected with correct polarity. Insert batteries side by side with the connectors facing
inwards. Both batteries are inserted with the same location of positive + (smaller) terminal on top.
