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 instruments 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.
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 E.Q., 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 its 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. Youll be nicely surprised.
