12.BATTERY COMPARTMENT – REMOVABLE COVER.

13.STEREO INPUT VOLUME CONTROL.

Use to control the level of backing/rhythm track.

14. STEREO MINI-JACK INPUT.

Input feed from music or backing tracks. This input goes directly in stereo to feed the headphones only. It is not connected to the 5 Band EQ or line outputs.

15. PRE AMPLIFIER OUTPUT JACK.

These are used for driving a power amplifier or feeding a tuner. This output only carries the bass instrument signal

16. HIGH LEVEL LINE OUT AND SPEAKER OUT JACK.

The Bass Buddy will work on any speaker load from 16Ω down to 4Ω, which is the safe maximum load for this amplifier. Any load with impedances less than 4Ω will cause the internal amplifier fuse to blow. If this output socket is shorted out this will blow the internal fuse and render the internal amplifier to shut down until the fuse is replaced. This fuse should only be replaced by qualified service engineers. This output only carries the bass instrument signal

17. XLR- DIRECT OUTPUT SOCKET.

This is an ultra-low impedance (100Ω) balanced line out for use with recording or PA mixing consoles. This output is not controlled by the volume control. Changing output level on your instrument will however, vary DI output. This output only carries bass instrument signal and is post EQ and limiter.

OPERATION

Remove battery plate (12) on back panel, by un-screwing the 2 thumb-screws. Inside the battery

compartment are 4 springs, the top two marked + and the lower 2 marked -. It is essential that the batteries are connected with correct polarity. Insert batteries side by side with the connectors facing inwards. Both batteries are inserted with the same location of positive + (smaller) terminal on top. Picture showing battery insertion.
