Using an instrument cable, connect your bass to the Input jack and turn the power switch on and play. If the clip LED flashes excessively, push the button marked -10db in. This will prevent you from overdriving the preamp. Occasional clip light flashes occurring while playing very hard is okay. Set the master control to 12 o'clock and slowly bring the Level-A volume up. Do not turn the volume control in the input section past 12 o'clock unless you want an overdrive effect. If you have a bass with passive electronics make sure the controls are all the way up. If you have a bass with active electronics, turn all of the EQ controls on the bass to the middle or flat position. At This Point: You should be hearing your bass quite well. You can use the volume and Master to achieve a comfortable sound level. Remember: If you need more volume, turn up the Master control first. Now you are ready to check out the overdrive feature (Channel-B). Set the Gain control to 9 o'clock as a starting point. Slowly raise the Level-B volume to the desired sound level. This will give a slightly distorted sound. Raising the gain will add more distortion and sustain. (See Sound Tips for more detail).
