Suggested Settings
(These settings are general starting points. They
are designed to get you close to the sound you
are looking for. If the control is not shown, then it
doesn't apply to this particular sound. )
Traditional Electric Bass Setting - in this setting the amplifier will deliver a standard electric bass
sound. Whether you are playing rock, country, blues or gospel, this setting will get you close.
Because of the Active EQ, you will be able to dial in your preferences from here. If you play with a
pick and want less top end attack on the notes, roll off a bit of the High control. If it's deeper bottom
your looking for, add more low and low mid. The key is to experiment to achieve your own personal
sound.
Funk "Slap" Sounds - this style of music needs a good strong attack sound with lots of top end.
Usually a hollowed out middle will produce the extra top end necessary for the punch needed for this
style of music. If you are using a more thumb style, a bit more low end and volume might be needed
for your particular style of playing. Or less if you really hit it hard. Even though this is a practice or
rehearsal level amplifier, it will deliver the punch and clarity that you require. Remember to try this
amp with an additional speaker plugged in. You'll be nicely surprised.
Alternative Style - this setting is designed for a upper end punch and edge that will cut through most
any sound. This style will work well with pick or fingers and will add a touch of distortion to the sound
as well. Make sure your instrument's volume control is up all the way. Since you are adding volume,
you need to be careful with the actual amount of e.q.. you use as it also can add distortion to the
sound. Also, you may want to use a compressor pedal in the signal chain before the amp to give it a
smoother sound but still "edgy". As in all the settings above, it is strictly a matter of personal taste in a
achieving the sound you are looking for.....experiment.
