The green LEDs indicate the note the tuner is tracking. In the chromatic mode the two LEDs that a
note falls between will light if the note being tracked is not a note in standard bass tuning.
Once a note is being tracked, the yellow and red LEDs function similarly to a strobe tuner, that is
they light sequentially to form a ring. Counterclockwise movement of the ring indicates the note
being tracked is flat; clockwise movement indicates it is sharp. The rotation speed will decrease as
the note comes closer to tune, and all indicators will illuminate (no movement) when the note
reaches correct pitch.
(42) REMOTE CABLE CONNECTOR
This 8-pin DIN connector transmits and receives MIDI commands to and from the MIDI IN /
FOOTSWITCH (28). Certain functions, such as the tuner, are also communicated through this
connection. Only the Peavey 8-pin MIDI/Communication cable (included) should be used for
this connection.
HIDDEN POWER FEATURES
The BAM lets you do most of what you need via the standard controls on the front panel and
footswitch. However, there are other parameters under the hood that you can get to if you’re willing
to dig a little deeper. By holding the USER button for more than a second (and continuing to hold),
you can access additional preset parameters. Doing the same with the STORE button accesses
global preference parameters. The following table and subsequent text shows what parameters
are available.
POWER TIP! BOOST/FX SETTINGS COPYING
The boost function allows you to have two complete settings (per preset) for the pre gain, post gain,
and three-band EQ. When creating a preset, you will typically build your non-boost sound (boost
LED off on the PFC4B), then want to modify it for the boost. Well, the settings will usually be very
different, and sychronizinig them manually is a bit of a pain. So, you can press the USER button for
one second (and continue to hold, which puts the amp into Patch Tweak mode, see below), and hit
the boost footswitch. This will copy the five parameters from the non-boost to the boost slots. (If you
were boosted in the first place, the copy would go the other way - it goes from where you were to
where you’re switching.) This also works with the effects knobs, but since there are only two, it’s not
much of a problem to tweak them manually.
