Session® 300 Front Panel

1 COMBO INPUT JACK

1/4" and XLR Instrument Input. WARNING: Never plug the output of a power amplifier into the input jacks. Damage may occur to both units.

PREAMP MODE SWITCH

The Session 300 has a very special feature that allows for three different modes of preamp operation.

Duet mode: In this mode, both preamps are active simultaneously, as are both inputs. This is so the user can use an instrument in Channel I while using a microphone in Channel II. You could also use this mode to have two different instruments playing at the same time, or have dedicated channels and EQ for two different instruments.

Ch. Switch mode: In this mode, the Channel I input is active, and Channel II is accessed by the channel switch button on the foot controller or the Channel button in the effects section of the amp. This is to give you either a solo boost or different EQ settings which you can select via the foot controller.

Link mode: In Link mode, both preamps are active and fed by the Channel I input. You can use this mode to create interesting EQ curves; use both notch filters for two-band filtering; or create unique effects combinations by accessing both channel's effects presets. The Blend control (18) can then be creatively utilized to blend between the 2 channels.

GAIN CONTROL

This knob controls input level of the instrument.

TUNE/MUTE SWITCH

This button mutes the power section of the amplifier and all DI's, while keeping the tuner output active. This feature is also accessible via the optional foot controller.

59V/48V PHANTOM POWER

The Session 300 is capable of sending 9V phantom power via a TRS cable to your guitar if your guitar's preamp can accept phantom power. Check your acoustic guitar's preamp specifications to determine com- patibility. If your guitar's preamp cannot accept phantom power, use a regular 1/4" instrument cable, NOT a TRS-type cable. The amplifier can also send 48V phantom power to a microphone via an XLR cable. This feature is available on both channels.

6PHASE REVERSE SWITCH

This button changes the phase of the channel, which can be very helpful in controlling feedback. This feature is also footswitchable via the Ecoustic foot controller.
