INTRODUCTION • GETTING STARTED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The EBS Session120 is a solid-state
amplifier combo, extremely easy to dial-in.
The Session120 is a downscaled design
from the Classic450 head to perform
extremely well in all styles and situations.
The sound is a combination of vintage bass
sound and the transparent ’EBS’ sound that
let your playing style and the character of
your instrument speak. Versatility is
provided by a carefully designed EQ with a
wide range of possible settings. By using
the built in auxiliary input in stereo, you can
use this combo for practicing at home with
headphones. These brief tutorials will help
you to become acquainted with some of the
features of the EBS Session120 combo.

GETTING STARTED...

1. Carefully unpack the bass combo.

2. Check that the Volume and Gain controls are

set to zero, fully counter clockwise. Set all
the other controls to mid position and make
sure that the switches marked Character and
Enh.Filter are in their outer position. Now
the EBS Session120s' settings are "zeroed"
and ready to be personalized.

3. Power up the combo and plug in your bass.

4. While plucking the strings as hard as you

would during your hardest playing, adjust the
GAIN knob until the PEAK led starts to flash
only at highest peaks.

5. Move over to the VOLUME knob and adjust

for the desired output volume.

BUILDING THE SOUND...

Your EBS Session120 features an en-
hanced tone shaping circuit that will enable
you to create a variety of bass sounds.

The filters are basically the boost/cut design.

6.

This means that the level controls marked
with + and - signs, either boost or cuts the
selected frequency band.

7. Gradually increase or decrease the level and

vary the frequency of the various filter sec­tions. Notice how the sound is affected.

8. Repeat as above by trying out the preshape

filter Character.

9. If you have a CD player or other sound

source, you may connect this to the Aux In
input and control the amount of volume with
the associated knob.

This was a brief tutorial of EBS
Session120. As you go on further in this
manual, you will learn how to use and util­ize all of the useful features that the EBS
Session120 offers you.
