MASTER (VOLUME) CONTROL

The Master (meaning "Master Volume") control adjusts the level being sent to the power amplifier in your Workingman's 2x10C − it controls the overall volume of the unit. Turning the control counter-clockwise reduces the overall level, while turning the control clock- wise boosts the overall level.

Two notes: The Master control never affects the level present at the XLR or effects send jacks − it only affects the level being sent to the power amplifier, and subsequently, your internal speaker system and extension speaker output only. Also, losses caused by out- board effects units can be recovered by increasing the Master control.

SPEAKERS ON/OFF SWITCH

This two-position switch controls the signal sent from the power amplifier to the speaker section of your Workingman's 2x10C and an extension speaker if connected (hence the term "speakers"). When set to the On (top) position (default setting from the factory), the Workingman's 2x10C will operate normally, and the sound of your amplified bass will be heard from the speaker section and any con- nected extension speaker. When set to the Speakers (bottom) position, that signal will be defeated regardless of the settings on the front panel. This can be useful for silent practicing (in conjunction with the Headphones Jack, listed below), or for defeating the audio while you re-patch cables or plug and unplug your instrument. This switch will not affect the signal present at the various audio out- puts (XLR, Effects Send, Tuner Out). It will also not affect the signal present at the Headphone Jack.

NOTE: If the volume on your instrument is up, and your Gain and Master Volume controls are up, and especially if you're seeing

the Preamp Clip and Limiter Active LED's illuminate while you're playing… and you can't understand why you're not getting any audible output from the Workingman's 2x10C, check the position of this switch!

HEADPHONES JACK (stereo only)

By inserting a set of stereo headphones into this jack, you can monitor your sound more closely in a studio situation, or practice silently (when the Speakers On/Off Switch is set to "Off") so as not to completely annoy your neighbors. The headphone volume level is adjusted by the Master Volume. We suggest you begin with the Master Volume full off (counter-clockwise), then slowly bring up the volume to the desired level. If you hear some distortion in your headphones that isn't present through your speaker system, turn down the Master Volume. You are probably overdriving your headphones and could ruin them, to say nothing of what you may be doing to your ears.

Any impedance headphones will work. However, optimum impedance is 75 ohms.

POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

This switch turns the complete unit on or off. Setting the switch upwards to the "On" position turns on the unit, and the switch itself will illuminate in red. Setting the switch downward to the "Power" position will turn the unit off, and the red light inside the power switch will turn off as well.
