1HIGH GAIN INPUT

This input is provided for instruments having low ouput levels (passive pickups).

2LOW GAIN INPUT

This input is provided for active basses or external preamps that have extremely high outputs, which can result in overdriving (distorting) the High Gain input. This input is -10dB from HIGH GAIN. WARNING: Never plug the ouput of a power amplifier into the input jacks. Damage may occur to both units.

3BRIGHT SWITCH

This button provides a 10 dB boost to frequencies above 1KHz. To activate, depress the switch to its “IN” position.

4MUTE

This button mutes all signals passing through the amp. The “IN” position of the switch mutes the signal, and the red LED will illuminate.

5PRE GAIN

This knob controls input level of the instrument.

6CONTOUR

This knob boosts highs and lows while simultaneously cutting mid tones producing a "scooped" sound. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the CONTOUR effect.

7LOW

This knob provides a shelving tone control for low frequencies and provides cut/boost of +/-15 dB. The center point is flat. The center frequency is 50 Hz. -3 dB shelf corner frequency is 100Hz.

8LOW CUT

This button can be used to help "tame" the B-string on a 5 or 6 string bass, control speaker cabinet resonance, or provide a more "vintage" tone. The "IN" position activates a gradual roll-off of frequencies lower than 80Hz. NOTE: The LOW CUT circuit is pre-eq.

9GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

These sliders provide precise tone control through the constant-Q, nine band equalizer. Each band may be boosted or cut 15 dB.

10HIGH

This knob provides a shelving tone control for high frequencies and cut/boost of +/-15dB. The center point is flat and the frequency is 8 KHz. -3dB; the shelf corner frequency is 5 KHz.
