Switch Positions
When the switch is in its lower position, only the 1/4" output jack is active, transmitting the
passive pickup signal (passive mode). The instrument may be plugged into a typical bass amp
with the use of a conventional instrument cable. The operation of the volume and tone
knobs is identical as in the case of a typical bass guitar with passive electronics. When the
switch is in the lower position, the 1/8" output jack is not active.
In the middle position, the passive signal is sent to the 1/4" output jack (passive mode),
however, the headphone amp is turned on as well, and the signal is sent to the 1/8"
headphones output. In this position, we can use the headphones as well, or we may send the
signal from the 1/8" jack output to a sound recorder for instance.
Important:
When the switch position changes (from the lower position to the middle one), the power is supplied
to the headphone amp. The headphone output may then emit a loud signal that can damage your
hearing or the hardware plugged in. For that reason, the headphones (or other devices) should be
plugged only after the headphone amp is switched on, with the volume knob set to the lowest
setting.
When the switch is in the upper position, the signal is sent to the active preamp, with the EQ
also being active - and then, after the signal passes through the EQ, it is sent to the output. 1/4"
Jack (active mode). In this position, low- and high-end are a bit more pronounced which makes
the tone more dynamic, selective with a little more punch.
When the switch is set in this position, the 1/8" jack is also active.
