This active shelving TREBLE control completes the rotary tone control string to create a powerful and
extremely accurate network to use as your fundamental platform. It’s no wonder many first time M6 CARBINE players make the
comment that just these controls combined with the GAIN create the best tone they have ever heard!
NOTE: As with the BASS control, may we remind you that a control of this type with its increased power should be used with finesse.
In the TREBLE’S case, almost more so, because higher frequencies seem louder to the ear and are generally more painful when set
to extremes. Another reason to use care is that high frequencies tend to increase the ambient noise floor when set too high.
DI LEVEL:
This control determines the level present at the 3 pin XLR DIRECT OUTPUT jack on the Rear Panel. The range on
the control should provide an optimum level for matching the Input requirements of most any live or recording console.
PULL-PRE:
This pull pot toggles the output signal at the DIRECT OUTPUT between a POST signal (pushed in) - where the
entire preamp and all the controls affect the sound – and a PRE signal (pulled out) – where the instrument signal is fed directly to the
DIRECT OUTPUT bypassing the entire preamp. In the PRE setting, the GAIN, MASTER and tone controls will not affect the signal
at the DIRECT OUTPUT. You will hear the pure sound of your instrument optimized for the input impedance of a mixing console with
virtually no shaping from the preamp or power section. In the POST setting, the GAIN, MASTER and Tone controls WILL affect the
signal at the DIRECT OUTPUT. This setting will provide you with all the warmth and attack characteristics of your M6 CARBINE
as it sounds when connected to a speaker enclosure. You will also have the shaping power of the GAIN, Tone controls and VOICE
feature to enhance your tone.
The PRE setting is useful for large venues when the sound you have dialed up for your optimum stage tone might have to much low
end for the front of house engineer to balance through a large PA where there are subs employed. POST is great for Direct feeds in
smaller venues where some extra bottom end is preferred or for recording where you need to be able to craft your sound for specific
tracks using the on-board controls.
NOTE: Always start by turning the DI LEVEL all the way down before connecting the M6 CARBINE to the console. After connect-
ing the DI OUTPUT to the console, slowly increase the signal until you reach the desired level. This procedure will prevent damage
to equipment and ears should someone play a note before the levels have been set to optimum levels.
MASTER:
The MASTER control is the feed to the Simul State power section and determines the overall playing volume of the
M6 CARBINE An optimum setting will be determined by the setting of the GAIN control as well as the entire tone control network.
All these controls affect the signal strength at the end of the preamp and can make the MASTER
control very sensitive.
NOTE: Remember to use with caution as the MASTER is the gas pedal for the massive power avail-
able. We suggest a zero setting at each power up to avoid damage to speakers and ears.
