cessor. Activate the effect by pressing the enable button located directly below the knob or use the optional footswitch.
KOSMOS A:
Kosmos A is a sub harmonic synthesizer that tracks bass notes and then generates a sub harmonic one octave below to enhance the
overall bass presence by adding extreme low frequency content that can be felt.
HINT: Kosmos A is fantastic for musical styles that require smooth, deep bass such as Reggae, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Electronica.
CAUTION—Kosmos A works best with larger bass cabinets such as 410's. Be careful when using Kosmos A because it can damage
the speakers. Listen carefully to your speaker cabinets to make sure that there are no indications of mechanical stress or cone breakup
distortion.
KOSMOS C:
Kosmos C is a bass harmonic enhancer that works by principles of psycho-acoustics. Kosmos C is designed to make smaller bass
speaker enclosures (such as 112 cabs) sound larger by creating an illusion of increased bass. This is because the human ear perceives
certain combinations of tones as one single tone that is extremely low in frequency. Technically, you are adding more bass when you
use this feature, but you are adding upper bass content that is easier for speakers to handle, and that doesn't eat up power amplifier
headroom as much as simply boosting low EQ. This feature is especially useful when using extended range basses such as a 5-string
bass with a low B string
HINT: The Kosmos C ear trickery works best when the LOW EQ control is used sparingly. If you boost the lows before Kosmos C,
you defeat the purpose.
CAUTION—You may use both KOSMOS A and C processors simultaneously, but use caution because it will be extremely easy for the
power amplifier to reach full power output which may damage speaker enclosures. It's important to remember that the power rating of
a speaker cabinet is basically a thermal limit and DOES NOT indicate the safe power handling limit in the sub bass region which is a
mechanical limit. In other words, don't assume that using a cabinet rated at 1,000 Watts with a 1,000 Watt amplifier means you're in the
clear!
When you use any of the buttons on the front of the amp, any setting changes that occur 5 or more seconds before the unit is switched
off will be saved in memory and will be recalled the next time the unit is switched on.
Changing Display Color:
One of the really unique "extras" of the mini MEGA is the customizable backlight display. You can now change to color based on your
mood or the setting, and you can have a unique look to go with your unique sound!
To enter the backlight edit mode, press the CRUNCH button for 2 seconds and continue holding during editing. When the CRUNCH
button is released, the light settings will be stored in memory after a 5 second delay.
The Mini Mega will display a color wheel light show when there is no instrument cable plugged into the input jack. To disable the light
show, press the KOSMOS ENABLE BUTTON.
To make the light show run while the amp output is muted, press the MUTE button.
To change the color, use the COMP enable button to cycle through the 10 backlight color presets:
RED, PINK, PURPLE, BLUE, TEAL, GREEN, LIGHT GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, and WHITE.
To change the panel brightness, press the BRIGHT button. There are 4 levels of light intensity.
To toggle the top half of the light panel on or off, press the PUNCH button.
To restore the lighting control system to the factory presets, press and hold the KOSMOS enable and MUTE buttons with the unit pow-
ered off, and then turn the power switch on.
