3-Position Pad Switches

As mentioned above, each XLR jack has its own independent switch for padding the signal if necessary. The center position
is 0 dB, the left position is -10dB and the right position is -20dB. Front-of-house engineers and mixing consoles usually like
to see -10dB, but some will take up to -20dB and others can take unity gain (0 dB). Make the choice that best suits your
needs.

How Dual Mode Affects The Interface Panel

The Interface section allows a player the ability to send the same type of signal(s) to an external source (mixing board, extra
power amp, etc.) as to his own speaker cabinets. Since "Dual Mode" splits the signal into a "clean" and "wet" channel, we've
taken extra steps to ensure the widest variety of routing two or more signals. So, with that in mind, here's how
engaging "Dual Mode" affects the various functions:

Unbalanced Outs In Dual Mode

Tuner Out
Totally unaffected.
Direct Out
With the "Line/Direct" switch in the "Direct" position, it is unaffected. With the "Line/Direct" switch in the "Line" position, the
signal sees the entire "Preamp" section, including the EQ, but NO MO' BASS EFFECTS. In short, the "Dual Mode" switch
changes the function of this jack when the "Line/Direct" switch is set in the "Line" position.
Mo' Bass Out
Totally unaffected. It sees everything, just as before. So, if you want to run in "Dual Mode" and get the "clean" preamp sound
on one output and the "wet" Mo' Bass effects on the other, simply set the "Line/Direct" switch to "Line", and use the "Direct
Out" for the clean side and the "Mo' Bass Out" for the wet side.

Balanced Outs In Dual Mode

This section is simple in "Dual Mode" - nothing changes. The "Mo' Bass Out" jack still sees everything, and the "Direct Out"
jack sees tube and limiter only with the "Line/Direct" switch in the "Direct" position. However all "Preamp" functions (including
EQ) are present with the switch in the "Line" position. This allows you to send two signals to a mixing board, one always
"clean" ("Direct Out") and one that switches between clean and wet depending on what effects you're running ("Mo' Bass
Out"). Then the engineer can adjust the levels to what's best for the application, and you can adjust your master volumes for
what's best for you in your rig.
How The External Effects Loops Affect The Interface Panel
Some users will want to use external effects devices and route them to a mixing board or externally powered source as well
as the internal Mo' Bass power amps. Make no mistake about it - this gets fancy when dealing with the Interface section.
But for those who dare to care, here's what goes where. We'll say it once again: When Dual Mode is engaged, the "clean"
channel is always on the LEFT side, and the "wet" channel is always on the RIGHT.
Unbalanced Outs
Tuner Out
External effects are never present.
Direct Out
With the "Line/Direct" switch in the "Direct" position, no external effects are present. With the "Line/Direct" switch in the
"Line" position signal from only the LEFT EFX return will be present.
Mo' Bass Out
Signal from only the RIGHT EFX return is present at this output.
