1Introduction

Welcome!

Thank you for making the Alesis BassFX a part of your setup. Since 1984, we’ve been designing and building creative tools for the audio community. We believe in our products, because we’ve heard the results that creative people like you have achieved with them. One of Alesis’ goals is to make high-quality music equipment available to everyone, and this user manual is an important part of that. After all, there’s no point in making equipment with all kinds of capabilities if no one explains how to use them. So, we try to write our manuals as carefully as we build our products.

The goal of this manual is to get you the information you need as quickly as possible, with a minimum of hassle. We hope we’ve achieved that. If not, please drop us an email and give us your suggestions on how we could improve future editions of this manual.

We hope your investment will bring you many years of creative enjoyment and help you achieve your musical goals.

Sincerely,

The people of Alesis
