Congratulations on your choice of the
bass head !
EBS Fafner
The
is the most powerful,
EBS Fafner II XD
versatile and complete bass head ever built.
With two separate channels, extensive routing
possibilities, built in compressor, tube section,
dual balanced outputs and super powerful EQ
sections, the amp offers an extremely wide
range of sound possibilities.
GETTING STARTED...
1. Carefully unpack the bass head.
2. Check that all knobs are set fully counter
clockwise besides the EQ controls marked
BASS, HI MID, TREBLE, MIDDLE and
EDGE which should be set to mid position.
Make also sure all push switches are set to
their outer positions. Now the EBS Fafners
settings are "zeroed" and ready to be
personalized.
3. Turn on the POWER switch. Wait for
approx. 15 seconds before switching on the
STANDBY switch to allow the tube to
warm up.
4. Plug in your bass. While plucking the
strings as hard as you would during your
hardest playing, gradually increase the
GAIN knob unit the peak LED starts to
flash at peaks.
5. Move over to the VOLUME knob and
adjust for the desired output volume.
GETTING STARTED
BUILDING THE SOUND...
6. The first tonal shaping circuitry are the
Character Filters
next to the GAIN control.
These filters provide for a preshape EQ
prior of further fine tuning of your sound.
7. Enable the filters by pressing the
Active
pushbutton and explore the filter
section.
8. The clean channel also features the use of a
tube buffer for adding those extra
harmonics by pressing the
Tube Mode
switch.
9. If you need to refine your dynamics, adjust
the COMP/LIMIT knob to your needs.
10.Engage the drive channel by pressing the
Drive Active
button. Now you have full
control of the drive circuitry with its' EQ.
Turn up the LEVEL to the desired level
compared with the level from the clean
channel.
11.Now, press the
Serial
button. This mode
enables you to serial the two channels, so
now you can dial in your drive sound with
the aid of the filters and options of the clean
channel.
This was a brief introduction of
EBS Fafner
you go on further in this manual, you will learn
how to use and utilize all of the useful features
that the
offers you.

GOOD LUCK !
