High input
This is where you plug in your bass. The High input allows for higher gain, which can help with quieter bass guitars to make them louder, or to give a bass extra gain and impact.
Low Input
This is where you plug in your bass. The Low input allows for lower gain, to give a nice, full, cleaner tone. Can be used to bring down the volume of high- output bass guitars such as ones with active pickups.
Volume
This controls the volume of the amplifier. Turn the knob clockwise towards 10 to increase the volume.
Bass EQ Control
This knob controls the amount of low-end frequency in your bass tone. As it’s turned clockwise towards 10, the amount of bass in the bass tone will increase. If it’s set at 0, there will be less bass.
Middle EQ Control
This knob controls the amount of mid-range frequencies in your bass tone. As it’s turned clockwise towards 10, the amount of mid-range frequencies in the guitar tone will increase. If it’s set at 0, there will be fewer mids.
Treble EQ Control
This knob controls the number of high-end frequencies in your bass tone. As it’s turned clockwise towards 10, the number of high-end frequencies in the guitar tone will increase. If it’s set at 0, there will be less treble.
Presence EQ Control
This knob acts as a ﬁlter that boosts high-end and high-mid-range frequencies, giving a livelier, raspier tone. As the knob is turned towards 10, the ﬁlter will make the sound more present.
Limiter Indication Light
This light is used to indicate when the internal limiter is active. The limiter functions to limit the overall output from the amp so it does not damage the speaker. It also affects your tone, acting like a compressor.
Headphone Output
This is where you can plug in your headphones to listen to your playing through just your headphones. Allows you to play without disturbing those around you!
Power Indicator Light
This lights up to indicate that the amp is powered on.
Power Switch
This switch turns the ampliﬁer on and off.
