Controls and Switches

We suggest you start exploring the channels with all controls set to 12:00 
o‘clock and the master volume slightly cracked open.

INPUT -10 dB

The general input sensivity can be lowered to -10 dB 
by pushing this button. This feature can be useful if 
you notice that the sound of your bass slightly over-
drives even at lower volumes. This can happen when 
using a bass with an active electric circuit. 

Gain

This knob controls the general level of the preamp 
section. The more you turn this knob clockwise, the 
earlier the preamp will start to overdrive the signal.

Boost

This switch activates the BVH300‘s boost function. It 
adds much more distortion to the basic sound. The 
general amount of distortion is always controlled by 
the “Gain“ knob.

Bass

Controls the level of low frequencies in the overall 
sound of the amplifi er.

Middle

Controls the level of mid frequencies in the overall 
sound of the amplifi er.

Mid Shift

This switch lowers the mid range of the BVH300. That 
means that low and high frequencies will be highligh-
ted. The result will be a sound which is mostly used in 
modern rock and slap technique.

Treble

Controls the level of high frequencies in the overall 
sound of the amplifi er.

Master

This knob controls the overall volume of the BVH300. 
Please note that the maximum capacity of the power 
amp will be reached at a setting around 2-3 o‘clock. 
A higher level can infl uence the life of the power amp 
tubes badly, when playing over a longer peroid of 
time.

Standby

Switches between the active or passive mode of the 
BVH300.

Power

Switches the BVH300 on or off.

CONTROLS ON THE BACK

Impedance Switch

Controls the overall impedance value of the power 
amp. You can choose between 4 or 8 ohms.
