User manual FENDER RIGSAFE FLYING HARDWARE

[. . . ] The inclusion of CHORUS infinitely widens the range of tonalities the RIGSAFE FLYING HARDWARE can produce. By incorporating the chorus circuitry within the power-amp/compressor loop, the need for complicated and expensive compounding (quieting) circuitry has been eliminated. The RIGSAFE FLYING HARDWARE incorporates a highly efficient, computerdesigned, tuned-port cabinet, and delivers a full 200 watts R. M. S. to its single fifteen inch Fender Special design driver. [. . . ] This input is recommended for basses with active pickups, and can handle as much as 5 volts R. M. S. . DEEP - Boosts and extends the low frequency response of the amplifier. NOTCH - Removes midrange, making the amp sound "punchy. " This switch is good for "thump and pluck" playing. BRIGHT - adds high frequency "sparkle. " GAIN - Adjusts the gain of the pre-amplifier and serves as an adjustment for the "loudness" of the amplifier. LOW - Adjusts the low part of the frequency spectrum, where the deep "fundamentals" reside. HIGH - Adjusts the high end of the frequency spectrum. Turning up the HIGH control will add "sparkle" to the sound. GRAPHIC EQUALIZER - Allows precise adjustment of the tonal characteristics of the amplifier. Each control provides a 12 dB boost or cut to narrow bands of frequencies centered about 80, 140, 250, 450, 800, 1. 4k, 2. 5k, 4. 5k, and 8k Hz. The 80, 140, and 250 Hz controls are used to adjust the low, mid, and high fundamental notes of the bass. The 450, 800, 1. 4k, 2. 5k, 4. 5k, and 8k controls allow adjustment of the timbre of the instrument, allowing for a very wide variety of tonal characteristics. Be sure to connect it to a grounded AC receptacle. The line cord should be connected to a suitable power source, in accordance with the voltage and frequency as shown in the power rating on the rear panel. LINE OUTPUTS - These two outputs are derived from the speaker outputs, and are at line level, similar to that of the EFFECT LOOP SEND jack (item D). LINE OUT includes the effects of DELTACOMP and CHORUS if selected, and can be used to drive slave amplifiers for more output. It can also be used in the studio, with proper equalization, as a recording output. SPEAKER OUTPUTS (Head Only)- Speaker connections are four ohms minimum total. The RIGSAFE FLYING HARDWARE HEAD is not designed for speaker loads lower than 4 ohms total. EFFECTS LOOP SEND - This jack provides an unbalanced mono output signal from the preamp at a point before the internal chorus circuits. This output can be used in conjunction with the RETURN (item E) as a patch point for external mono effects devices. The SEND can also be used to feed recording and sound reinforcement mixers a dry signal. For a signal with internal CHORUS, use the rear panel LINE OUT jack, (item C).

RIGSAFE FLYING HARDWARE BLOCK DIAGRAM TROUBLESHOOTER`S CHECKLIST If the amp is set up but does not function, check the following items: -Is the amp power cord plugged into an electrical outlet?-Is the speaker properly connected to the amplifier?-Is the volume control on the instrument turned up?-Is your instrument properly plugged into the amplifier?
