[. . . ] The line feed sent through the Monitor In jack does not get sent to the Line Output (DynaBass 300 and 300T Combos only) · balanced ¼-inch Efx Send and Return jacks · A full-range speaker system with acoustically matched and precisely crossed-over low and high-frequency drivers (DynaBass 300 and 300T Combos only) · A Tweeter Defeat/Active switch on the back of the cabinet allows you to pre-set the DynaBass 300 for higher note definition or a softer vintage sound (DynaBass 300 and 300T Combos only) Please take a little time to read the following instructions; then plug in, switch on, and unleash your musical creativity!0dB/Passive and -9dB/Active Inputs and Clip LED For optimum clarity, use the 0dB input for bass guitars with standard single-coil pickups or the -9dB input for active or extremely `hot' pickups such as humbuckers. for an overdriven edge or "crunch , " use the 0dB input. In either case, the Gain control setting will be a factor in establishing the type of clean or overdriven sound you prefer. User Tip: Do not use both inputs at the same time to connect a second bassist or other musician. The preamp is not designed for more than one instrument to be played at a time. The DynaBass 300 input circuit has been designed for most basses but all basses have not been created equally. Some basses have higher signals while others have very low signals. the Clip LED on the DynaBass 300 illuminates when the input signal exceeds the amps input range. If the LED illuminates, lower the volume on the bass until the illumination ceases. Mute Button As an aid to tuning your bass silently, the mute function disengages the preamp signal from all outputs (Line Out, Efx Send, Phones and the amp's speaker) except the Tuner jack. Gain Control The DynaBass 300 Gain control allows you to set the level of the signal before it's sent to the tone controls. this allows control of the tonal `sensitivity' or `definition' of the amplifier. Higher Gain settings will give more `growl' to your bass. Tone Controls The four overlapping tone controls cover the entire audio spectrum and permit a wide range of sonic adjustment. The Bass control adjusts the level of the low frequency; Low Mid, the next frequency range up). hi Mid covers a higher frequency range and the Treble control regulates the upper frequency range. User Tip: When starting out, it's a good idea to center all tone controls. Adjust these controls while playing until you achieve the desired tone. Keep in mind that all tone and EQ circuits are gain-related, which means it may be necessary to re-adjust the Gain control once the desired tone is achieved. This will help you to retain the amount of clarity or `growl' you desire. Scoop Control The Scoop modifies the tone of the bass by reducing the gain throughout the mid frequencies around 400 Hz while slightly boosting the low and high-frequency gain. [. . . ] Otherwise the ¼-inch Speaker Outs will work equally well. User Tip 1: The DynaBass 300 combo's internal speaker load is 8-ohms therefore any extension cabinet should be no less than 8-ohms. (DynaBass 300 and 300T Combos only) User Tip 2: The 350-Watt @ 4-ohms rated power output is measured with the amp's Gain, Master and tone controls adjusted for minimal distortion. When shopping for a single 4-ohm cabinet to use with the DynaBass 300 head, look for one with a program power rating of approximately 500 Watts to provide some added capacity for handling "crunch" distortion.
