Channel Controls - Mesa/Boogie BASIS M 2000 Owner's Manual

For ease of understanding the M-2000 and to reduce the intimidation factor that one might experience upon first glance, it should
be noted that the unit may be digested one channel at a time. The only shared controls on the entire front panel are the MIX
control and the Output Level control. Thinking of the M-2000 as two completely separate pre-amplifiers - sharing one common
power section, may help you to understand it at a faster rate.
