Saving
We have preloaded the four model buttons with very
popular and usable sounds. But you can also store your
own version of the model here as well. You can always
get the factory presets back so don’t worry, change and
save them to your heart’s content.
To store your own “snapshot” of all knob positions
(except Master Volume), press and hold the current
model button for two seconds. The LED flashes twice
when the save is complete.
XLR Direct Output
This is your Direct Out for recording or sending your
sound to a house sound system when you’re playing
live. This output utilizes Line 6’s exclusive A.I.R.
processing which has made Line 6 products like POD
the undisputed standard for recording direct. The level
of this output is set via Channel Volume and has a
ground lift switch to lift the ground if your direct out
is causing a buzz in the sound/recording system you
are connected to. A bit of advice, many pro sound
engineers here at Line 6 have made the direct out
experience from this amp a beautiful one. Many sound
engineers prefer to take a Pre Amplifier Direct Signal
via a Direct Box. This is the de facto technique for
getting basic bass tone in the house PA. When playing
a gig in a club, ask the sound guy to consider using
your direct out for amp and cabinet tone - they will
not be disappointed!
Important
When using the direct out, there can be a ‘pop’ on the
output on power up or power down. We recommend
that you either disconnect the direct out or mute
whatever the direct out is connected to before powering
your LowDown on or off.
CD/MP3
Connect a CD player, MP3 player, drum machine or
other device here, and you’ll hear it from LowDown’s
speaker or headphone output. Very handy for jamming
along! Use the output volume control on the connected
device to set its level.
Phones
Connect your stereo headphones here to listen to your
bass and/or your favorite CD and jam along for working
on your favorite licks. Plugging in headphones disables
your speaker output.
