prior to your purchase. If you become dissatisfied with your user presets at any time, reinitialization will return all user presets to the factory settings.

Suppose you like factory setting A 1 but desire more low frequency response. Press the USER button on the front panel. Since the unit has been reinitialized, user preset A 1 is the same as factory preset A 1. Now simply adjust the low frequency to your liking and press STORE twice. The increased low-frequency setting will be called up whenever user preset A 1 is selected. If a factory preset is changed and not stored as a user preset, it will revert back to the factory setting once the next preset is selected.

Both the factory and user presets are stored in the PRESET MATRIX. This matrix is divided into 4 banks (A, B, C, D), with each bank containing 4 presets (1, 2, 3, 4). Selection between factory and user presets is accomplished with the USER switch. Storage location within the matrix is selected using the STORE switch. Detailed description of the matrix and its controls is included in the following section.

(1)INPUT

This 1/4" mono (TS) jack is a high-impedance input designed to handle a broad range of bass pickup signals, both active and passive.

(2)INPUT TRIM

This control adjusts the level of the signal entering the INPUT (1). Instruments with high output levels may have to be “trimmed” down to avoid overdriving (distorting) the INPUT.

(3)SIG/CLIP

This 2-color LED indicates signal presence as well as warning of clipping the INPUT (1). Green illumination will occur in response to signal presence at the INPUT, while red illumination warns of potential clipping. Excessive red illumination indicates a need to adjust the INPUT TRIM (2).

(4)PRESET MATRIX

This control, along with the USER (5) switch, allows selection among the 32 available presets. The matrix is divided into 4 banks (A, B, C, D), with each bank containing 4 presets (1, 2, 3, 4). Depending on the position of the USER switch, the PRESET MATRIX selector allows selection of the 16 factory presets or the 16 user presets. The active preset is indicated by LED illumination. Presets can also be selected via the foot controller or by MIDI command.
