Next, locate the “inser t” cable. This is the cable with one stereo
1/4
" plug on one side and two mono
1/4
" plugs on the other. Inser t the single stereo plug into the
1/4
" jack on the rear of the Mo’ Control.
This jack is located just to the left of the DB9 jack you’ve just connected, and has a large text box
above it that reads “For Use With Stereo To 2-Mono Send/Return Inser t Cable Only.” Now take the
other end of the cable and look closely at the small white labels near each plug. One will be marked
“Filter” and the other “Bypass.” Inser t the “Filter” plug into the jack on the rear of the Mo’ Bass
marked “Filter Sweep Pedal.” Then inser t the “Bypass” plug into the jack just to the right marked
“Internal EFX Bypass.” Now you’re fully connected, and you can switch on the Mo’ Bass.
We can hear you thinking—“what happens if I lose these cables?” The 25-foot male-to-female DB9
cable is a standard cable available at any computer supplies store. The “inser t” cable is also easily
replaceable at most audio electronics retailers. We recommend the Hosa STP-204 as a stock replace-
ment—which, at 13.2 feet, is the longest off-the-shelf inser t cable we know of. The Mo’ Control
comes with a 25-foot version, and you can always contact the factor y for replacement on either cable
as well.
Note:
Any stereo-to-2-mono-type cable will work—you just need to know which mono plug goes
where on the Mo’ Bass end. For technical reference, the “tip” plug should connect to the “Filter
Sweep Pedal” jack, and the “ring” plug should connect to the “Internal EFX Bypass” jack.
Finally, on the rear of the Mo’ Control, locate the switch to the far right marked “Preset Group Mode”
and set the switch to “Program” (to the right). Now we’re ready to play.
OPERATING THE MO’ CONTROL
Individual Effects
We need to establish a term for when Mo’ Control is in its most basic state, which is when no Preset
Groups are activated. Let’s call it Solo Mode, since that’s the opposite of a group (and Alone Mode
just sounds so
lonely
). When in Solo Mode, operation is simple. Step on any one of the switches for
the individual effects, and three things will happen: a) The effect will activate on the Mo’ Bass; b)
The LED will illuminate on the Mo’ Control; and c) The LED will illuminate on the Mo’ Bass.
To disengage any activated effect, simply step on the switch again and it will shut off. Individual
switches will not affect other individual switches. You can turn the effects on and off one at a time,
or manually turn on several effects at once. Notice that whatever you do on the Mo’ Control, the Mo’
Bass LEDs will reflect. The reverse is also true. If you engage an effect manually by using the switch
on the Mo’ Bass itself, the corresponding Mo’ Control LED will illuminate. In essence, the two units
are joined at the hip.
