INITIAL SET UP
As bassists, each of us has in our head a concept of our perfect sound. Eden
amplifiers are designed to help you easily achieve the sound you hear inside
you. However, it’s a multi-step process as explained below.
In order to ensure the ultimate in tone, it’s important to follow the procedure
outlined below. Don’t skip steps; don’t jump around. Yes, this may take a
minute or two, but the work is well worth it. Once they’ve done it a few
times, most users can do it time and again in about a minute.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: Before you plug in your unit for the first time,
please do the following things. First, turn the power switch to the OFF
position. Then, turn the Master Volume control to minimum (fully counter-
clockwise). Set the tone controls to the center position (12:00 or 0). Turn the
Enhance control to the minimum position. Set the Input Gain control to the
minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Set the Compressor to the OFF position
(PULL Enhance). Make sure the Dynamic Boost switch is disengaged by
pushing lightly on the Bass control. Push lightly on the Mid control so that
it’s set to 550Hz. This will set your amplifier up flat and with the
Compressor disengaged.
Next, plug in the power cord to the AC inlet on the back of the unit. Use
only a safe grounded receptacle for proper operation at the correct voltage
for your country.
Turn On
– Once you’ve completed the steps above, you can plug in your
bass and turn on the unit (plug it in first, ok?) and let’s get started. We
recommend turning your system on with the Master Volume control set to
its minimum position. This will prevent any unexpected signal from being
sent to your speakers.
Setting Your Level
– Remember, begin with the Input Gain, Enhance,
Compressor, Dynamic Boost and Master Volume completely OFF – fully
counter-clockwise. All EQ should be set flat, that is, at 12:00 – straight up.
While playing your lowest note (or loudest), slowly turn the Input Gain up
until the compressor or set level light begins to blink with regularity. If you
can’t go past 9 or 10 o’clock, you can engage the Input Pad (PULL Gain) to
better match the gain of your instrument to the amplifier.
