2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
2.1 Front panel
Fig. 2.1: BX4500H front panel (section 1)
The LEVEL VU meter reads the level that is applied to the
preamp circuitry of the BX4500H.
+
If the GAIN control is set fully counterclockwise,
the VU meter reads the input level only. Selecting
“Active” instead of “Passive” is recommended
if the input level appears too high (in the right-hand
third of the VU meter). Use the GAIN control to set
the amplifier properly (so that the meter is in the
mid region). The overall volume can be adjusted
with the OUTPUT control .
These are the inputs for your electric bass guitar. The
PASSIVE jack is for passive basses, the ACTIVE jack for
active instruments with high output levels. The ACTIVE
jack features 10 dB less gain.
Use the GAIN control to determine the input gain on your
BX4500H.
Connect your footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH jack, so
as to control the sub-harmonics processor and SHAPE
filter.
With the sub-harmonics processor switched on (see
)
you can add ultra-low bass frequencies to your sound by
turning the ULTRABASS control (see chapter 5).
Press the ULTRABASS switch to enable the sub-harmonics
processor: The LED above the switch lights up.

The BASS control in the EQ section allows you to boost or
cut the bass frequencies at approx. 50 Hz.
Press the DEEP switch to add low frequencies (ranging
from 30 - 200 Hz) to your bass sound. When the DEEP
function is switched on, the LED above the switch lights up.
This control governs the upper bass-frequency range at
approx. 140 Hz.
The MIDDLE control allows you to boost/cut the low
midrange frequencies at approx. 500 Hz.
This control raises/lowers the high midrange frequencies
at approx. 1.6 kHz.
The TREBLE control governs the high-frequency range
on your BX4500H at approx. 7.5 kHz.
Use this switch to enable/disable the BRIGHT effect, which
adds some brilliance to the treble frequencies in the range
from 2 - 20 kHz. When the BRIGHT function is on, its
respective LED lights up.

The SHAPE switch activates the SHAPE filter. When the
filter is on, the LED above the switch lights up.
Use the OUTPUT control to determine the overall volume
of your BX4500H.
