Page 3: Introduction
The two models covered by this manual differ in the following ways: • The Model 2000 provides 200 watts of power (into 4 ohms), while the Model 3500 provides 350 watts of power (into 4 ohms). -
Page 4: Features
Here are some of their main features: • Power to spare—in the case of the Model 2000, 200 watts into 4 ohms, and, in the case of the Model 3500, a full 350 watts into 4 ohms. -

8KHz 1. Passive Input jack - If your bass guitar has passive circuitry, connect it to the Model 2000 here. This standard 1/4” unbalanced jack provides a high impedance (100 k Ohms) input sensitivity of 20 millivolts. 2. Active Input jack - If your bass guitar has active circuitry,* connect it to the Model 2000 here. - Page 6 (30 Hz, 64 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 3 kHz, 5 kHz, and 8 kHz), affecting the main output signal of the Model 2000. When a slider is at its center detented (“0”) position, the selected frequency area is unaffected (it is said to be flat).

2. AC input - Connect the supplied standard 3-pin “EEC” plug here. 3. Fan - The fan provides vital cooling to your Model 2000. Make sure that it is kept free of all obstructions and that cool, fresh air is accessible at all times. - Page 8 6. Effect Send jack - Use this 1/4” unbalanced jack to send low impedance (600 ohm) signal from the Model 2000 to a professional outboard effects proces- sor such as a reverb, echo, chorus, flanger, or harmonizer device.* Output level is approximately 0 dB to +4 dB and is post-EQ and post-compression but unaffected by the setting of the Master Volume control.

Page 15: About Equalization
EQ controls allow you to alter a sound by boosting or attenuating specific frequency areas—they operate much like the bass and treble controls on your hi-fi amp, but with much greater precision. The Model 2000/3500 pro- vides you with two different means for equalizing your bass sound: •... - Page 16 5KHz 8KHz Finally, as you experiment with the EQ controls of the Model 2000/3500, don’t forget that your bass also provides EQ controls in the form of its tonal settings— this can be particularly effective in instruments that have active circuitry. Also, try various EQ settings with different Pre-Amp blends and with and without Compression.
