1.Input and
2.Amp Models – Select one of these buttons to select one of 4 groovealicious Amp Models or hit R&B and Rock together to get Synth Bass and all the LowDown controls will automatically dial in to sound great, so you can just play! These buttons come pre- loaded with great factory presets but can be used to save your own custom settings.
3.Drive - is like the volume or gain knob on other amps; controls how much “dirt” you get in your sound.
4.Tone Controls – Bass, Low Mid, Hi Mid and Treble controls are customized for each Amp Model to give you optimal tonal control.
5.Opto Comp - Turn clockwise to even out your playing dynamics (more compression). Watch for the Threshold light, and set the knob so that it comes on just at the point where you play with your typical intensity.
6.Master Volume - You can choose the overall volume of the amplifier, without affecting your tone.
7.CD/MP3 – Plug in any audio source and it feeds directly into the LowDown’s speaker or headphones so you can jam with your favorite music or a drum machine. Use the input device’s output control to adjust its volume.
8.Headphone - Listen with headphones to your LowDown mixed with what ever you would like to input into the CD/MP3 jack.
9.XLR Direct Out – This gives the sound man a simulation of a miked cabinet that is model specific. To the left of the input is a ground lift.
10.Preamp Out – Plug in here to send your sound to an external bass amp, power amplifier, mixing console, or house PA system.
11.Power – on or off. The amp sounds better on.
