FRONT PANEL FEATURES
INPUT JACK (1)
This input will accept signals from all types of bass pickups.
INPUT PAD SWITCH (2)
Provided for instruments that have extremely high output, which can result in overdriving (distorting) the
input stage. Depressing the switch to its “in” or “active” position reduces the level of the input signal by
10 dB.
TUNER SEND JACK (3)
A 1/4" jack is provided for connecting an instrument tuner. This jack is buffered off the input jack so it is just
like plugging directly into the tuner.
BRIGHT SWITCH (4)
Provides a preset boost to treble frequencies. To activate, depress the switch to its “in” position.
PRE GAIN CONTROL (5)
Controls the input gain of the preamplifier.
CONTOUR CONTROL (6)
Provides a specially voiced EQ as the knob is rotated clockwise. When the knob is fully counterclockwise
(set to 0), there is no voicing added.
LOW CONTROL (7)
An active tone control (shelving type, ±15 dB) that varies the low frequency boost or cut.
MID CONTROL (8)
An active tone control (peak/notch, ±15 dB) that varies the mid frequency boost or cut.
MID SHIFT CONTROL (9)
Selects the frequency band that the mid control cuts or boosts.
HIGH CONTROL (10)
An active tone control (shelving type, ±15 dB) that varies the high frequency boost or cut.
VOLUME CONTROL (11)
Controls the overall volume level of the amplifier. The final level adjustment should be made after the de-
sired sound has been achieved.
LINE OUT—XLR JACK (12)
Provides 600 ohm, transformer-balanced signal for patching into a sound reinforcement or recording
console.
LINE OUT LEVEL CONTROL (13)
Controls the output level of the balanced line level output (13).
PRE-/POST-EQ SELECT SWITCH (14)
Allows selection between a Pre-EQ (switch set to the “out” position) or a Post-EQ (switch set to the “in”
position) send to the XLR line out jack.
GROUND LIFT SWITCH (15)
Provided to lift the ground on the XLR jack when ground loops are encountered.
EFFECTS SEND JACK (16)
Output for supplying signals to external low-level effects or signal processing equipment.
