1.Input – The front panel amp model and tone controls, plus the top panel effects, all apply to the Bass that’s connected here.

2.Amp Models – Select one of these buttons to select one of 4 groovealicious Amp Models 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.Smart FX – Spin this knob to get great FX, fast and easy; this knob selects Envelope Filter, Octaver, or Chorus, with a range of settings - from subtle to overpowering.

7.MasterVolume – You can choose the overall volume of the amplifier, without affecting your tone.

8.CD/MP3 – Plug in any audio source and it feeds directly into the LowDown speaker or headphones so you can jam with your favorite music or a drum machine. The instrument input must have a plug inserted to allow the input from the CD/MP3 player to be heard. Use the input device’s output control to adjust its volume.

9.Headphone – Listen with headphones to your LowDown mixed with what ever you would like to input into the CD/MP3 jack.

10.Power – On or off. The amp sounds better on.
