1. INPUT – Connect your bass guitar here using a standard ¼" unbalanced instru-
ment cable.
2. TUNER Output – Use this jack to connect to an electronic tuner using a ¼" TRS
cable. The TUNER output is always active, even when the MUTE switch is engaged,
which allows you to tune your instrument silently. This output may also be used as
a line level direct output feed.
3. ACTIVE Switch – When selected, this green backlit switch reduces the input sen-
sitivity by 15dB to accommodate the higher output signal of basses with built-in
active electronics.
4. OVERDRIVE – When the O.D. switch is selected (see #5), this control knob adjusts
the amount of harmonic content and overdrive to the input signal. Slowly turning
this knob allows you to add a little tube warmth, some edgy dirt, or all-out fuzz.
5. O.D. Switch – When selected, this green backlit switch engages the OVERDRIVE
control. A footswitch can be connected to the amplifier to switch the OVERDRIVE
on and off (the front panel switch is disengaged when the footswitch is plugged
in).
6. COMPRESSOR – This knob determines the amount of compression by adjusting
the threshold level. The compressor allows you to control the overall dynamic
range of your performance by reducing sudden peaks, and increasing the sustain
of the instrument. At the fully counterclockwise position, no compression is ap-
plied. As the knob is turned clockwise an increasing amount of compression is
applied. For more information, see the "About Compression" section on page 17 of
this manual.
7. Compressor Light – Provides a visual indicator of the status of the compression
circuitry. This red LED lights when the input signal crosses the threshold level and
activates the compressor circuit.
