KXB200H/HR Suggested Settings

The following suggested settings will help you dial in a variety of popular tones. Keep in mind, these are starting points to get you up and running with your KXB amplifier. Feel free to experiment to achieve your own signature sounds.

KXB200

TRADITIONAL/VERSATILE TONE

In this setting, the amplifier will deliver a traditional, yet versatile, electric bass sound. Whether you are playing Rock, Country, Blues or Gospel, this setting will get you close. If you play with a pick and want less treble attack on the notes, decrease the amount of high frequencies using the 2K and 5K controls. If you need a deeper bottom end, increase the amount of low frequencies using the 63 control. Adjust the amount of Low and High Midrange to best match the tone of your bass guitar and how it fits into the overall sound.

FUNKY, SLAPPED TONES

This style of music needs a strong attack with lots of treble. Using less Low-mids will help produce the extra top end necessary for this type of music. If you use a “slapping” thumb technique, add a bit more low end and extra volume – or less if you really hit the strings hard.

ALTERNATIVE STYLE

These settings are designed for upper-end punch and edge that will cut through most any sound mix. This tone will work well with pick or fingers. Make sure your bass guitar’s volume control is turned up all the way. Since you’re adding volume, be careful with the amount of EQ that you dial in, as it can also add some distortion to the sound.
