FRONT PANEL FEATURES
Gain Control
– Regulates the first gain stage of the preamplifier and
controls the amount of signal available to the system.
Input Pad
– Pull the Gain knob to engage a –12dB pad. This is useful for
basses that produce a very hot signal.
Set Level Indicator
– This light helps the user set the appropriate amount of
gain. When set properly, the indicator should light on your loudest/lowest
notes. We’ll go over this in more detail later in the manual.
Enhance Control
– Called the “Magic Knob” by some, this complex
control simultaneously boosts the very low bass, upper middle, and high
frequencies while putting a dip in the lower middle frequencies.
It is flat when set to its minimum level (fully counterclockwise).
Compressor Bypass
– Pull the Enhance knob to disengage the automatic
compressor circuit.
Tone Control Section
These three controls (each with a “Pull” function) allow you to boost or cut
the tone at the desired frequency. The spacing allows the controls to interact
smoothly and musically. From left to right, the controls are:
Bass
– This traditional shelving tone control provides 15 dB of boost or cut
at approx. 30Hz. The control is flat in the 12:00 position.
Bass Boost
– Pull the Bass knob to engage the Dynamic Bass Boost. This
feature allows the extreme lows to be adjusted to the ear’s relative loudness
curve (Fletcher-Munson curve). This ensures the bass will sound full and
solid even at very low playing levels.
We recommend you engage this function at low volumes so that your sound
remains consistent at any volume. At higher volume levels it isn’t needed
but you may want to use it as a matter of taste. Because we strongly support
Freedom of Choice, we want you to be able to decide when (and when not)
to use this feature. (You’re welcome.)
