verview (Continued) DI LEVEL and MASTER controls make adjusting your playing volume levels quick and easy on stage. The DI LEVEL features both post and pre Tone control options, with post being the default (pushed in) setting and PULL PRE activating the pre setting that by- passes the entire preamp. -
Page 7: Front_Panel
FrONT PANeL CONTrOLS: INPUT: This jack is the instrument INPUT which feeds the first tube in the all-tube preamp of the M6 CARBINE. It is set up with enough headroom to handle both passive and active style instruments. For active instruments you may find yourself running the GAIN control somewhere between 10:00 and 2:00 for optimum headroom. -
Page 8: Bass
FrONT PANeL CONTrOLS: BASS: This control is responsible for the basic mix of low frequencies in the tube pre-amp. The BASS control is an active shelving type control as opposed to a passive style control. This means that a center Q point has been chosen and this control allows you to either boost or cut that frequency. -
Page 9: Voice
FrONT PANeL CONTrOLS: VOICE: This simple to use feature puts the shaping power of a parametric EQ at your fingertips without the learning curve and allows you to go right to the most iconic sounds instantly. The 5 position rotary allows you to select from four distinct and different voices aimed at all the classic Bass sounds. -
Page 10: Treble
FrONT PANeL CONTrOLS: TREBLE:_(Continued) This active shelving TREBLE control completes the rotary tone control string to create a powerful and extremely accurate network to use as your fundamental platform. It’s no wonder many first time M6 CARBINE players make the comment that just these controls combined with the GAIN create the best tone they have ever heard! NOTE: As with the BASS control, may we remind you that a control of this type with its increased power should be used with finesse. -
Page 11: Mute_Led
FrONT PANeL CONTrOLS: MUTE_LED: This LED indicates that the Tuning MUTE function has been triggered either by pulling out the Front Panel MAS- TER PULL MUTE, or by the Rear Panel Function Switch jack. When this LED is illuminated there will be no signal present at the SPEAKER OUTPUT jacks. -
Page 12: Fuse
reAr PANeL CONTrOLS: REAR_VIEW:_M6_CARBINE FUSE: This is the A.C. Mains Fuse for the M6 CARBINE. REPLACE ONLY WITH A SLO-BLO TYPE FUSE OF THE PROPER RATING. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, AS THE M6 CARBINE DRAWS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF CURRENT AT HIGH OUTPUT LEVEL SETTINGS. -
Page 13: Function_Switches
reAr PANeL CONTrOLS: FUNCTION_SWITCHES:_(Continued) of the Function Switch jacks as you gain access to alternate sounds without having to walk back to the amplifier or stop playing to adjust knobs. NOTE: If the Front Panel VOICE select switch is set to any position other than 3/EXT SWITCH and you use a function switch jack to trigger another different VOICE mode, you will activate two VOICE modes at once. -

reAr PANeL CONTrOLS: EFFECTS_LOOP:_(Continued) your effects. One foot lengths are preferable - with lengths of more than 3 feet (each cable) starting to roll off top end and reduce midrange punch and clarity. The LOOP is fitted with a “Hard Bypass” switch that allows you to completely remove all associated LOOP circuitry from the signal path when you are in the studio or when the LOOP is not to be used. -
