TC Electronic BG500 - 210 - Manual (Page 12)

Example:
“A” string played – pitch too low – tune up
“A” string played – pitch too high – tune down
“A” string played – in tune – do nothing
18 – TUNE MUTE Button and LED
To tune silently, press the MUTE button. The red LED indicates
that the mute function is active. The MUTE button not only
mutes the speaker and headphones outputs, but also the
balanced output. This way you can tune up with no sound going
to your own rig or to the PA.
19 – CONTOUR
The CONTOUR button provides a predefined EQ curve in an
instant. Hit the CONTOUR button to scoop out the mid range.
Two different scope grades are available.
20 – MEMORY 1/2/3
The BG500 Combo features three user memories which allow
you to store and recall your favorite settings.
Storing settings is extremely simple:
–
Dial in the settings that you like.
– Press and hold one of the MEMORY buttons for
approximately two seconds.
– When the corresponding MEMORY LED is flashing, your
settings have been stored.
– To recall a memory setting, simply press the corresponding
MEMORY button once.
What is stored?
Apart from the Master volume and Tune mute status, any
parameter that is dialed in via the front panel knobs plus
“Contour” is stored.
Why memory settings?
Even though a lot of bass players tend to play with the same
sound most of the time, many players use several basses,
playing styles, and pickup settings. These and other factors
require adapting amp settings. We figured that it would be handy
to simply push one button instead of fiddling with several knobs.
