Suggested Tone Settings - Acoustic B10 User Manual

SUGGEStED toNE SEttINGS

The following setting suggestions will help you find your signature tone. They are designed to get you
close to the sound you are looking for. You take it from there.
TRADITIONAL ELECTRIC BASS SETTING - In this setting, the amplifier will deliver a standard electric bass
sound. Whether you are playing rock, country, blues or gospel, this setting will get you close. If you play
with a pick and want less top-end attack on the notes, roll off a bit of the high-frequency control. If it's a
deeper bottom you're looking for, add more low and low-midrange frequencies. The key to achieving your
own personal sound is experimentation.
FUNk "SLAP" SOUNDS - This style of music needs a strong attack with lots of top end. Usually a hollowed
out middle will produce the extra top end necessary for this style of music. If you are using a "thumb" style,
add a bit more low end and extra volume — or less if you really hit it hard. Even though this is a practice
or rehearsal level amplifier, it will deliver the punch and clarity that you require. Try this amp with an
additional speaker plugged in. You'll be nicely surprised.
ALTERNATIvE STYLE - This style will work well with pick or fingers and will add a touch of distortion to the
sound as well. Make sure your instrument's volume control is up all the way. Since you are adding volume,
you should be careful with the actual amount of E.Q. you use, as it can also add distortion to the sound. As
in all the settings above, it is strictly a matter of personal taste in a achieving the sound you are looking for,
so feel free to experiment.
