Using the
E
Amplifier
Without
Speakers
-
This amplifier is designed to be used
safely
with
headphones
only,
without
the loud
speaker plugged
in.
No
harm
will
result from using the
amplifier
in
this
fashion.
This allows
the
use of the
unit
for practice with headphones and as a
preamplifier with other ampl ifiers. Neighbors and
room
mates really love
this,
which qualifies
it as another Really Neat Thing.
MAINTENANCE
Your
Eden
amplifier
has
been designed to
require
minimal routine maintenance. Attention
to the
following areas wi
ll
ensure
optimum performance of your
amplifier.
We're
serious.
Don't
blow
this
off, OK?
Contact
Point
C
lea ning
- One of
the
weakest links
in
most bass amplification systems are the
solderless
connection points where instruments,
speaker
cabinets,
effects, and
other devices
are connected to
the
amplifier. (The
most vulnerable
of these
types
of connection is the jack on
your
instrument). ln addition to contamination from airborne
pollutants,
these points are
frequently assaulted by connectors that have picked up debris from dirty
stages,
cases,
etc.
This contamination can result
in
poor contact as well
as
poor
tone,
and we al
l
know
that
bad
tone is a Very Bad Thing. These points
should
be cleaned regularly
with
a cotton
swab
soaked in
denatured alcohol or a commercially available de-oxidant. Frequent cleaning of
the
plugs on
your
cords
is also recommended.
Dust Removal
-
You
should
periodically inspect the
ventilation
openings on the top and sides
of
the
unit to
ensure
that they have not become blocked by accumulated dust. Vacuum the
openings to remove any dust buildup.
Dust
bunni
es
are
definite
ly
not
cool.
The Magic Smoke
-
Few
people realize just how much magic
goes
into creating Great Bass Tone.
It
isn't
something you
normally need worry about. Just have fun and
leave
all that to us
.
However
-
and this
is
very important
-
if you
ever
release the Magic Smoke from your amplifier
this is indeed a Very Bad Thing, perhaps
the
worst thing
you
can do. If you see any
smoke
(Magic
or otherwise) coming out of
your
amplifier,
immediately turn it off and
seek
the
services of a
qualified
magician.
uhm,
we mean.technician. DO
NOT
continue to use the
amplifier in this
condition.
