Small Block Bass Guitar Amplifier
Small Block 500H
Thank you for choosing the Small Block 500H super-lightweight power amplifier. You'll be
happy to discover that this bass guitar amplifier has the ability to sound "right" with a minimum
amount of knob twirling. This amp delivers great tone making it ideal for any performance. Best
of all, its lightweight and compact design makes setups and tear-downs a breeze.
When you need the extras, they're all here:
• The status/power LED light illuminates red initially and then blue for ready mode.
• Dual Inputs are optimized for standard Passive pickups (0 dB) and (extra-hot)
Active pickups (-6 dB).
• Mute/Standby pushbutton
• EFX Send and Return jacks
• Switchable Limiter
• The Gain control allows you to dial-in the perfect amount of clarity, warmth or overdrive.
• The Low Expander control tailors sound precisely by extending the lows while
reducing the midrange.
• Active tone controls (Bass, Low-Mid, Hi-Mid and Treble) provide up to 15dB of cut or boost.
• A separate Tuner Out jack allows your tuner to be connected without affecting your signal
quality. This also makes tuning convenient since it's always available for quick reference
and adjustments. The Mute button ensures that the audience doesn't hear you tuning.
• The balanced XLR Line Out is switchable between Pre-EQ (dry) and Post-EQ (wet)
via the rear-panel push-button.
• Two Speakon™ speaker output jacks. Minimum load is 4 ohms.
• The Phones jack permits connecting headphones for practicing silently or for monitoring
yourself in the studio; please note that connecting headphones disconnects signal to the
main outputs in addition to the speaker output jack.

• Master volume

Please take a little time to read the following instructions; then plug in, switch on, and unleash
your musical creativity!
1. Power Switch and Status Lamp
The power switch is located on the rear panel next to the IEC AC power connector. When the
Small Block is powered up, the power lamp which is located on the front panel illuminates
red for standby, mute or protect and illuminates blue when the amp ready to use.
2. 0dB/Passive and -6dB/Active Inputs and Clip LED
The Small Block input circuit has been designed for most basses but all basses have not
been created equally. Some basses have higher signals while others have very low signals.
For optimum clarity, use the 0dB input for bass guitars with standard single-coil pickups or
the -9dB input for active or extremely 'hot' pickups such as humbuckers. For an overdriven
edge or "crunch," use the 0dB input. In either case, the Gain control setting will be a factor in
establishing the type of clean or overdriven sound you prefer.
User Tip: Do not use both inputs at the same time to connect a second bassist or other
musician. The preamp is not designed for more than one instrument to be played at a time.
