warmth, punch and power.
The SHUTTLE MAX 6.0 is equipped with a ¼" unbalanced INSTRUMENT INPUT; input stage clip detector; MUTE
switch with LED indicator; FET and 12AX7 TUBE preamps each with HIGH/LOW gain stage settings, and 4 band
ACTIVE equalization with 2 sweepable midrange bands; 3 switched SIGNAL SHAPE filters with level adjustments;
MASTER VOLUME; proprietary OUTPUT LIMITER; TUNER OUT; AUX INPUT; 3 EFFECTS LOOPS; balanced
DIRECT OUTPUT with GROUND LIFT, PRE or POST EQ; and MIC/LINE switches; HEADPHONE OUTPUT; and 2
Neutrik NL-4 "Speakon"® speaker jacks.

FRONT PANEL INPUT – The SHUTTLE MAX 6.0 is equipped with a standard ¼” unbalanced INPUT. The INPUT sensitivity range is from 40 mV to over 1.6 volts. The INPUT impedance is >500K ohms. The INPUT stage contains a precision high order active high pass filter (more effective and less intrusive than the more common 6 dB filters) and an “RFI”... - Page 3 PREAMP VOLUME CONTROL – This control sets the volume of the preamp after the INPUT and FET channel gain stages and before the EQ controls. Use this control in conjunction with the GAIN control and the MASTER VOLUME control for your overall output level. TUBE CHANNEL—...
- Page 4 SIGNAL SHAPE – The SHUTTLE MAX 6.0 is equipped with 3 SIGNAL SHAPE circuits, each with a level control to adjust the amount of level the tone shaping circuit produces. L.F. BOOST – This filter adds low frequency peaking gain in the 35-65 Hz band range. This is especially effective when used with a 5 string bass.
