FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

All controls common - unless otherwise stated

Normal and High inputs are provided for connection of bass guitars. High output basses, either Active or Passive should be
1
connected via the High socket. Low output basses should be connected using the normal input. High output basses may also be
placed in the Normal input if pre-amp overloading is desired.
This control is used to set the level of gain present in the pre-amp. The higher the level of gain, the more the signal will clip
2
producing distortion. The Gain control should be used in conjunction with the Volume control to produce the desired signal
characteristics.
Engages and disengages the on-board compressor, this compresses the input-signal giving a punchier sound. In association with
3
the compressor are two LEDs, one indicating that the compressor is engaged and one indicating the compressor is active. The
amount of compression is controlled by the Gain control. The higher the setting the more compression. With most guitars
compression will begin at about 5-6 on the control. It is possible to have the compressor engaged but it only be active during
certain periods of playing - typically the most dynamic sections.
The Enhance control provides an increased definition at the low-end of the frequency spectrum giving you a tighter, punchier
4
sound. The Enhance control does this by providing a dip in the frequency-response of the amplifier at approximately 150Hz.
This dip reduces some of the harmonics of the important low-frequencies around 40-80 Hz producing better definition to your
sound. Turning the control through to its maximum has the effect of boosting both the low and high-frequency content.
