INPUTS

 

– combination 

¼

” (2 conductor instrument cable) or XLR (3-4 conductor microphone) 

2.

 

 

 

VOLUME CONTROLS

 

-  these adjust the overall loudness of the corresponding input. If your acoustic instrument has a preamp, you 

should set the Volume control on your instrument at about half volume. You can then adjust the amplifier volume to your normal 
playing level and still have room to increase or decrease your volume as needed from the instrument.

3.

 

 

EQUALIZATION

 

A. LOW FREQUENCY

 

- set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 100Hz. Controls the lowest fundamental frequencies to enhance 

the warmth and deep, full tones of your acoustic instrument or vocals. 

B. MIDRANGE FREQUENCY

 

- set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 800Hz. Allows you to control the definition and voice of 

your acoustic instrument or vocals. 

c. HIGH FREQUENCY 

- set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 7kHz. Increasing this will enhance the clarity and brightness of 

your acoustic instrument or vocals.

FEEDBACK ELIMINATION

 

a. FEEDBACK ELIMINATION LEVEL 

– this adjusts the amount of feedback filtering. Be sure to set this control to “off” if you are not 

experiencing any feedback issues. 

b. FEEDBACK ELIMINATION FREQUENCY

 

– this adjusts the frequency of the feedback filtering.

 

To control Feedback, do the following:          

 

1. Set the Level control to “12 o’clock” setting or higher

 

2. Turn the Frequency knob, moving from left-to-right, to search for the frequency at which the feedback is to be suppressed.

 

 

A. If in the lower register, start at “0” position

 

 

B. Sweep to the right if the frequency is in the higher register

 

 

C.  When  the  feedback  is  eliminated,  reduce  the  Level  control  until  the  feedback  returns,  then  adjust  slightly  

upward until it is gone
