Rotary switch to alter the basic character of the Quadruplet. Also alters the operating frequen-
cies of the tone controls. (For frequency diagrams see below) Q1 and Q2 are pure preamp
signals. With Q3 and Q4, the valve(tube)-based power amplifier (EL84 and output transfor-
mer) is included in the signal path. This gives you the sounds of a full-valve(tube) amplifier,
even when you are using a transistorbased power amplifier.
Amplifies the signal at the input to the preamp whilst simultaneously attenuating the signal at the
output. This allows you to apply valve overdrive to compress or distort the signal from your bass
Rotary control to determine the overall volume.
Switch + LED mutes all the outputs of the Quadruplet except the PHONES socket and simul-
taneously activa tes the TUNER OUT socket (Rear Panel). When the MUTE switch is depres-
sed, the LED shines red. In an operation ready state, the LED shines green. In case of sig
nal flow at the power section (Input or Effects Return), there might appear a popping
noise when MUTE is pressed. To avoid this, mute your strings or have effects like
delays muted when pressing the MUTE button.
Headphone socket (min 200Ω).
On/Off switch for the Mains Power.
Terminal with integrated fuse compartment for connection to the mains power supply
Switch to separate the grounding conductor from the audio signal ground. When several
devices are grounded to the same point and interconnected with shielded cables, a ground
loop hum can result. If this happens, depress the GROUND LIFT switch to eliminate the hum.
When this switch is depressed, the signal at the DI OUT socket is the pure bass signal (PRE).
Otherwise it is the signal after the tone controls and any connected effects devices have
done their work (POST)
Balanced outputs for the connection to a mixing desk (PA or Studio).
When this switch is depressed, the output of the OUTPUT LEFT and RIGHT sockets is at Line
Level (0dB). Otherwise it is at Instrument Level (+6dB)
Outputs for connection to a power stage or amplifier (see above)
socket and its outputs to the RETURN L + R sockets
Socket for a tuning device. The pure bass signal is available at this socket when the Preamp
is switched MUTE
