Some Suggested Settings

Since so many variables affect the actual sound of any system, the following settings are offered as starting points to help you find the exact sounds your playing demands. When using the B4R, please keep in mind the following points:

The Gain control should be adjusted until the peak LED flashes on strong signals. (This level will vary, depending on your instrument and playing style.)

The Graphic EQ can be used to further fine-tune these basic suggested setting, to extend the frequency response of the cabinet being used, to com- pensate for room acoustics, or to act like a “second channel”

Rack Mounting

When mounting the amplifier into a rack, the four bottom feet should be removed to maintain the three rack space height of the ampli- fier. Be sure to keep the feet and their attachment bolts for future use. If the feet are reinstalled, never use screws which will protrude farther into the amplifier than the original hardware.

The rack must be a high quality enclosure capable of securely supporting the weight of the amplifier. Tighten the mounting screws securely through the amplifier’s face plate, into the rack rails. Check the rack and mounting screws occasionally to ensure a continual- ly safe and secure installation.
