In today's crowded market, it's easy to forget that SWR pioneered the concept of the 2x10 + tweeter bass combo amp in the late 1980's with the introduction of the now-famous Redhead. The piece quickly became the first-call amplifier of first-call studio musicians in New York and Los Angeles, attaining legendary status for its crystal-clear sound, studio-specific feature set, and ample headroom.

If you're using a keyboard or bass pedal with the Workingman's 2x10C, we have found the best choice to be the Active input. NOTE: Using the Active input with passive basses (active instruments will always employ a battery) may result in a loss of high end transients. Players who roll off their high end starting at about 2kHz, or prefer a "darker"... -

VARIABLE LIMITER CONTROL (with defeat option) The Limiter in the Workingman's 2x10C is designed to provide the user with maximum flexibility of control, while at the same time provide protection for the power amplifier from clipping, a condition that can cause damage to itself and the speaker system over time if allowed to occur. -
Page 10: Master Volume Control
This two-position switch controls the signal sent from the power amplifier to the speaker section of your Workingman's 2x10C and an extension speaker if connected (hence the term "speakers"). When set to the On (top) position (default setting from the factory), the Workingman's 2x10C will operate normally, and the sound of your amplified bass will be heard from the speaker section and any connected extension speaker. -
Page 11: Power On/Off Switch
As mentioned previously in the "Effects Blend Control" section of the manual, the Effects Blend circuit in your Workingman's 2x10C is similar to that used on recording consoles, with the effects loop on a "side chain" to the normal circuit. Unless the Effects Blend control is set to the full "wet" position, you will always get the full sound of your instrument AND get the diversity an outboard effects unit offers. -
Page 12: Effects Send
This jack's primary function is to complete the Effects Loop circuit by routing the post-outboard-effects device signal back into the power amp of the Workingman's 2x10C, where it can be blended back in with the original signal by using the Effects Blend control on the front panel. However, it can also be used as: 1. - Page 13 WORKINGMAN'S 2X10C POWER AMPLIFIER MINIMUM IMPEDANCE RATINGS Here's what this means to the power amp in the Workingman's 2x10C. Like most combos, the Workingman's 2x10C contains a mono power amp, which makes things fairly simple. The operating impedance of the internal speaker system in your Workingman's 2x10C is 8 ohms, so that's your starting point.
- Page 14 (For an even more in-depth discussion of impedance and power rating issues, go to the SWR Website at www.swrsound.com, click on "Support", then click on "Technical Articles," then click on "Plug and Play - Setup Tips for Amps and Speakers"-an article by SWR founder Steve Rabe that ran in the August '92 issue of Bass Player Magazine.)
- Page 15 This could be extremely useful if you wish to use the amplifier in your 2x10C in a head-only configuration, at which point you could connect any speaker cabinets to the amplifier just so long as the resulting total impedance was no lower than 4 ohms.
- Page 16 To install the caster wheels on your Workingman's 2x10C, carefully turn the unit upside down (or on its side) so that the caster base/sockets are visible.
- Page 17 Please note that the ball bearing type caster wheels provided with your Workingman's 2x10C may require periodic replacement depending on usage and care. Replacement caster wheels can be purchased from the SWR Service Department.
