Mesa/Boogie 45 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
No matter which of these many Nomad platforms you have chosen, the basic operation is the same and the experience playing them is
oo...fun and exhilarating. Before we get to specific Controls and Channels, here are some tips to get you playing and enjoying your Nomad
right away;
(1.) The REVERB Controls for all three Channels are located on the Rear Panel.
(2.) The Footcontroller connects to the chassis on the far left underside of the Rear Panel.
(3.) The Rear Panel Channel Select Rotary Must be set to Footswitch in order for the Footcontroller to call up the Channels and Functions.
The SOLO Control has no Effect on the signal until the Footcontroller is connected and Footswitch is selected on the Channel Select
Rotary.
(4.) The SOLO Control increases the volume from where the OUTPUT Control has been set.
(5.) The GAIN and TREBLE Controls are the most powerful controls in all the Channels. Use them with taste and remember that some of
the best sounds are found by using these two controls in their middle regions.
(6.) Extreme Volume Level Increases Occur when Ch. 1 & Ch. 2 mode switches are switched down to their alternate modes from
NORMAL to PUSHED and MODERN. Reduce Channel MASTER or OUTPUT Controls before selecting these modes !
(7.) Volume Level will drop when Ch.3 mode switch is switched down from NORMAL to the alternate VINTAGE mode. Compensate with
either Channel MASTER or OUTPUT Control.
(8.) When using the Effects Loop for external signal processing, the best tonal results will be obtained with the processors’ dry / wet mix
set to 100% and the FX Mix set as close to 10% as possible.
Hopefully these tips have saved you from any frustration and now that you’ve got everything connected, we have provided a few sample
settings that you might want to try in each channel, to more quickly familiarize you with the Nomad’s sonic possibilities.
These sounds and settings are by no means the only ones possible and as always, we encourage exploration and experimentation.
