- Page 2 FOREWORD Congratulations on the purchase of your new Eden World Tour Integrated Amplifier System. All of us at Eden are totally committed to providing you with the very best bass guitar systems in their class. Our goals are to offer...
- Page 3 The Eden World Tour products group is the result of our quest for ultimate bass tone and maximum reliability. Your new Time Traveler Amplifier features our latest solid-state front end, using the Golden Ear chip to provide unequaled tube emulation. This chip was originally designed for use in high- end recording consoles, such as the Harris and Neve units.
- Page 4 If you experience any discomfort or ringing in the ears or suspect hearing loss, you should consult an audiologist. Thank you for your purchase of an Eden bass guitar product. This unit has been designed and constructed to give you years of trouble-free service.

Page 5: Front Panel Features
FRONT PANEL FEATURES Input Jacks – Designed to accept a standard _ inch mono phone plug. For best results use a high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to the amplifier. Both inputs are buffered and will handle standard passive, high level active, and piezo input signals. - Page 6 Compressor Bypass – Turning the Compressor control OFF will disengage the compressor. Enhance Control – Called the “Magic Knob” by some, this complex control simultaneously boosts the very low bass, upper middle, and high frequencies while putting a dip in the lower middle frequencies. It is flat when set to its minimum level (fully counterclockwise).

We recommend you engage these switches at low volumes so that your sound remains consistent at any volume. At higher volume levels they aren’t needed but you may want to use them as a matter of taste. Because we strongly support Freedom of Choice, we’ve incorporated these two switches into our design. - Page 8 Amp Outs – These consist of two _ inch jacks and an NL-4 connector (sometimes called a Speakon). The jacks are wired in parallel. The total speaker load impedance should not go below 2 ohms. On NL-4 connectors, we use +1, -1 connections. Amplifier Power Rating: WT330 200 watts RMS @ 8 Ohms...
- Page 9 D.I. Level – Controls the level being sent from the XLR balanced output jack. We suggest setting the control at approximately 12 o’clock initially. If the signal to the board is too hot, it’s better to engage the Input Pad on your channel of the board than to turn it down here, if at all possible.
- Page 10 The cooling system also features a high temperature thermal safety system, which will activate an AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuit if the operating temperature goes above 190 degrees F. This circuit will automatically turn down the output of the system in the event of overheating.

Page 11: Initial Setup
The speaker cable should be as short as possible. INITIAL SET UP As bassists, each of us has in our head a concept of our perfect sound. Eden amplifiers are designed to help you easily achieve the sound you hear inside you. - Page 12 Turn On – Once you’ve completed the steps above, you can plug in your bass and turn on the unit (plug it in first, ok?) and let’s get started. We recommend turning your system on with the Master Volume control set to its minimum position.
- Page 13 SETTING YOUR EQ The frequencies that you’ll need to boost or cut are dependent upon your instrument, playing style, speaker cabinets, and venue. Extreme settings of boost or cut are unlikely to be necessary or helpful. We are frequently asked to provide suggested settings for various styles of play.
- Page 14 NOTE: Many players rely on the Enhance Control (and perhaps a little Midrange Massage) to get their sound. This method leaves the Bass and Treble controls available to dial in to a particularly difficult room. Just something to keep in mind, ok? Setting Bass and Treble –...
- Page 15 Warm Switch – This works with the Golden Ear Chip we told you about earlier. If you want to introduce some extra tube-style warmth (and just a touch of grit) into your sound, this is button to push. Once this button is engaged, your Input Gain determines how much warmth is dialed in.
- Page 16 There you have it: a quick and easy process to help you get the perfect tone from your Eden amplifier. As previously mentioned, it make take a few extra minutes the first few times you go through this, especially if you take the time to experiment with all the knobs and switches, which we highly recommend.

Page 17: Other Considerations
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Suggested Speaker Systems – Your speaker system should be chosen to accommodate the characteristics of your amplifier and your predominant application. If you will only be using one cabinet, a 4 Ohm model will draw the most current from your amplifier. If you will generally be using two cabinets, they should both be 8 Ohm models so their combined impedance will be 4 ohms. -

DO NOT continue to use the amplifier in this condition.
