BXR 60 Front Panel Functions
The front panel contains all items necessary for system operation and observation. Please read this section of the manual carefully to make sure you understand all the operational features for your new FENDER BXR 60 bass amplifier.
A.INPUT 1 - A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments. This input can handle as much as 2.5 volts R.M.S., and should be used with most instruments.
B.INPUT 2 - Plug-in connection for instruments. This input is recommended for basses with active pickups, and can handle as much as 5 volts R.M.S..
C.MID NOTCH switch - removes midrange, making the amp sound “punchy”. This switch is good for “thump and pluck” playing.
D.VOLUME control - adjusts the overall loudness of the amplifier.
E. EQUALIZER - allows adjustment of the tonal characteristics of the amplifier. Each control provides a 12 dB boost or cut to the low, low mid, high mid, and high frequency ranges.
F.TAPE IN - Plug-in connection for any line level (500mV) stereo or mono signal. This signal is mixed into the power amp along with the instrument signal from the preamp. It has fixed gain and is unaffected by any of the front panel controls; however the signal will be affected by any device inserted between the PREAMP OUT (item G) and the POWER AMP IN (item H). It is useful for patching in a CD or tape player, rhythm machine or other signal source to be used as an accompaniment for practice or performance. The output level control of the external signal source is used to control its own volume while the front panel VOLUME (item D) control is used for the instrument in order to obtain a balance.
