PANEL OVERVIEW

PANEL DESCRIPTION

1. Input Jack
This is a high impedance input and is designed for all passive and active instruments.
2. Clip Light.
When the amplifier output is clipping, the LED will light up with red. When the amplifier
muted, the LED will light up with green.
3. Input Switch
Active and passive basses are different. The output from a passive bass is a higher
impedance circuit with less voltage out than an active bass. So if you have a passive
instrument (no internal pre amp) then set the switch to passive mode. Use active mode
for basses that have higher output to prevent signal overload. The switch also mutes
the input when set to mute.
4. Input Level Control
Different instruments and also different playing styles and even players will affect the
signal level so adjust this control so that the signal overload Clip light does not light
up. This optimizes the best signal to noise ratio between amp and instrument and will
give you the full extent of the amplifiers tone and power.
5. Bass Control
This is centered on the fundamental frequencies of 4 and 5 string basses. Boosting or
cutting this will have significant effect on the weight of the tone.
