Most significantly for basses, the AURAL ENHANCER will
help bring out the fundamentals of your lower registers
without masking them with overtones, as is possible
when using the BASS control only. At the same time, it
opens up the sibilance characteristics of all instruments
without being harsh.
F. BASS—Shelving-type circuit that adjusts low-frequency
response ±15dB in the 30Hz–100Hz range (centered at
80Hz).
G. MIDRANGE SEMI-PARAMETRIC EQ—Use MID LEVEL to
adjust signal response (±15dB) in the fre-
quency range selected with the MID FREQ
knob. (Turning MID FREQ has no effect when
MID LEVEL is set to "0.")
TIPS: If you want a tone that "cuts through"
the band, try boosting in the 200–400Hz range. If you
want a transparent or "scooped" sound, try cutting the
800Hz range.
H. TREBLE—Shelving-type circuit that adjusts high-fre-
quency response ±15dB in the 2kHz to 14kHz range.
I. TRANSPARENCY—Boosts or cuts ultra-high frequencies
(±15dB) above ~5kHz.
J. EFX BLEND—Adjusts your effects level by controlling
the ratio of "wet" effects signal mixed in with the "dry"
preamp signal. The EFX BLEND knob is functional only
when a plug is inserted into the EFFECTS RETURN {T}
jack.
K. BASS INTENSIFIER™—Exclusive SWR® tone circuit that
integrates low-frequency boost with a smooth, fast-acting
compressor. This provides a radical increase of specific
bass and low-midrange frequencies without the usual
side-effect of overdriving the amplifier circuitry. This lit-
erally intensifies the bass tone in your sound! Use it for
the heavier sections of a song, or as part of your overall
preferred sound.
ENGAGE—Activates the BASS INTENSIFIER circuit as
indicated by the LED .
LEVEL—Adjusts the amount of bass boost added by
the BASS INTENSIFIER. Hint: Adjust slowly so you can
hear the difference a small amount of this effect can
have on your tone.
CUTOFF—Adjusts the frequency range boosted by
the BASS INTENSIFIER. When fully counter-clockwise,
only frequencies below ~80Hz are affected. When fully
clockwise, frequencies below ~200Hz are affected.
Front Panel
To best hear what the BASS INTENSIFIER does: 1. Decrease
MASTER Volume to half its normal setting (or less). 2. Set
LEVEL to maximum and CUTOFF to 80Hz. 3. Play a note
repeatedly and slowly rotate CUTOFF clockwise. You will
hear frequencies being boosted as you turn the dial, and
the overall effect will seem louder as more frequencies
are boosted. Your ears are the best judge so take some
time to experiment and hear what works best.
L. WEDGE EQ—Use this tone circuit preset when playing
the amplifier with the cabinet in the tilt-back position.
The Wedge EQ compensates for the acoustics lost with
cabinet floor contact and the redirected tweeter horn.
M. LIMITER—This circuit protects the power amp and speak-
ers from damage by governing peak signal strength. The
benefit is that you to can play at maximum loudness
levels safely. DEFEAT turns the Limiter OFF.
N. MASTER VOLUME—Use to set the loudness output from
your speakers (and headphones) after all other levels are
set, including external effects. MASTER Volume will affect
the BALANCED OUTPUT {X} and the UNBALANCED LINE
OUT {V} levels when the DIRECT/LINE {X} button is set to
MASTER to change the signal level output to equipment
such as when you are recording.
O. POWER SWITCH—Switches the WorkingPro ON-OFF as
indicated by the LED.

DEFEATED (LIMITER OFF)
ACTIVE—Indicates exactly when the LIMITER circuit is
working (when LIMITER is ON).
POWER AMP CLIP—Indicates when the power amp is
being overdriven causing signal distortion. Power amp
clipping can be harmful to your equipment, therefore, use
the LIMITER or reduce MASTER Volume {N} if POWER AMP
CLIP flashes often.
