EQ BYPASS

This button removes the graphic equalizer from the audio chain. The “IN” position of the switch bypass- es the EQ, and the amp will respond as if the graphic equalizer is set flat.

POST GAIN

This knob controls output level of the pre amplifier to the power amplifier.

OCTAVER

This knob synthesizes a note one octave below the note you are playing. The “IN” or "ACTIVE" position of the switch enables the octave divider. This knob controls the output level of the synthesized tone. Once activated, the OCTAVER may be defeated by an optional remote footswitch (#00051000).

WARNING: This effect generates extremely low bass tones! Care should be taken to avoid damaging speakers.

OCTAVER TIPS

-Start with the OCTAVER knob set to minimum. Adjust the PRE GAIN and POST GAIN to the desired levels, and slowly increase the level of the OCTAVER until the desired effect is achieved.

-Analog octave dividers, such as this one, typically work best when only one note is played at a time. Complex cords will not track well.

-For best tracking, strings that are not being played should be muted.

-The bass guitar produces a complex waveform for each note played. Harmonic content is higher at certain playing positions on the neck. Because of this, playing the same notes at different positions on the neck will track better. This may vary from one bass to another.

14DDT™ (Distortion Detection Technique)

This button prevents power amplifier clipping that can sound bad and damage speakers. The “IN” or "DEFEAT" position of the switch bypasses the DDT circuit. However, Peavey® recommends the DDT stay enabled for optimum system performance. When the DDT is enabled, the Protect/Clip LED will flash when DDT is triggered. It is normal operation for the LED to flash. However, if the LED is constantly il- luminated, the gain level needs to be adjusted to prevent possible equipment damage. When the DDT is defeated, the LED becomes a clip indicator.

15POWER SWITCH

To apply power to the unit, flip the switch to the “On” position. The blue LED will illuminate, indicating power is being supplied.
