5. POWER/STATUS LED

Located on front panel this LED illuminates green when the Power Switch is in the “ON” position and AC power is supplied. During normal operation the LED also acts as a DDT indicator. The LED illuminates red when the DDT speaker protection is active. When DDT is defeated, the LED will illuminate red when clipping occurs.

6. INPUT JACK

This input will accept signals from all types of bass pickups.

7. INPUT PAD SWITCH

Provided for instruments that have extremely high output, which can result in overdriving (distorting) the input stage. Pressing the switch to its “in” or “active” position reduces the level of the input signal by 10 dB.

8. BRIGHT SWITCH

Provides a preset boost to treble frequencies when pressed.

9. TUNER SEND JACK

A 1/4" jack is provided for connecting an instrument tuner. This jack is buffered off the input jack so it is just like plugging directly into the tuner.

10. PRE GAIN CONTROL

Controls the input gain of the preamplifier.

11. CONTOUR CONTROL

Provides a specially voiced EQ as the knob is rotated clockwise. When the knob is fully counterclockwise (set to 0), there is no voicing added.

12. LOW CONTROL

An active tone control (shelving type, ±15 dB) that varies the low frequency boost or cut.

13. MID CONTROL

An active tone control (peak/notch, ±15 dB) that varies the midrange boost or cut.

14. MID SHIFT CONTROL

Selects the frequency band (200 — 2 kHz) that the mid control cuts or boosts.

15. HIGH CONTROL

An active tone control (shelving type, ±15 dB) that varies the high frequency boost or cut.
