Small Block Bass Guitar Amplifier
SB200H and SB106
Thank you for choosing this Small Block power amplifier. You'll be happy to discover that this bass 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.
The Extras, They're All Here
• The status/power LED light illuminates red initially and then blue for ready mode.
• Dual Inputs optimized for standard Passive pickups (0 dB) and extra-hot or Active pickups (-6 dB).
• Mute/Standby pushbutton
• AUX input jack used for digital audio such as an MP3/CD player.
• 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 selectable between Pre-EQ (dry) and Post-EQ (wet) via the rear-panel push-button.
• SB200H:A ¼-inch/Speakon™ Combi-jack Speaker Output jack. Minimum load is 4 ohms.
• SB106:A ¼-inch Speaker Output jack (automatically defeats internal speaker). Minimum load is 4 ohms.
• SB106: 6.5-inch speaker.
• 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.
1. Power Switch and Lamp
The power switch is located on the rear panel next to the IEC AC power connector. When the Small Block is pow-
ered up, the power lamp which is located on the front panel illuminates red for standby, mute or protect and illumi-
nates blue when the amp ready to use.
2. 0dB/Passive, -6dB/Active Inputs and Clip
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 -6dB input for active or extremely 'hot' pickups such as hum-
buckers. For an overdriven edge or "crunch," use the 0dB input. In either case, the Gain control setting will be a fac-
tor 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.
3. Mute Button
As an aid to tuning your bass silently, the mute function disengages the preamp signal from all outputs (Line
Out, Phones when post EQ switch is on and the amp's speaker) except the Tuner jack. When this function is
enabled the power light changes color to Red.
