CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. INPUT JACK
Input jack for you bass. We suggest to use a good quality
cable, in order to obtain the best audio performance.
2. AUX-IN
3.5mm jack Auxiliar input to connect an external audio
device
3. GAIN CONTROL KNOB
Sets the input signal amount of the pre-amp
4. BASS KNOB
Increases or reduces the bass frequencies of the signal
5. MID-LOW KNOB
Increases or reduces the mid-low frequencies of the
signal
6. MID-High KNOB
Increases or reduces mid-high frequencies of the signal
6
Page 7
7. HIGH KNOB
Increases or reduces the high frequenciess of the signal
8. DEEP BUTTON
Gives a more deep sound
9. BRIGHT BUTTON
Gives a more bright sound
10. MID-LOW SWITCH
Use this switch to change the frequency of the mid-low
band from 185 Hz, 375 Hz and 800 Hz.
11. MID-HIGH SWITCH
Use this switch to change the frequency of the mid-high
band from 600 Hz, 1200 Hz and 1800 Hz.
12. PURE SWITCH
Allows to bypass all the equalization filters of the preamplifier. The pure-mode activation is signaled by the orange
LED on the top of the button.
13. DI KNOB
Controls the DI volume
14. HEAR KNOB
Controls the hear volume
15. HEAR OUTPUT
3.5mm plug for headphones
16.a MASTER KNOB (CH1)
Controls the overall volume of :
- the amplifier (GR-ONE 350 and GR-ONE 800)
- the channel 1 output (GR-ONE 700x2)
16.b MASTER KNOB CH2 (only for the GR-ONE 700x2)
Controls the overall volume of the channel 2 output
17. OPERATION LED
Green = normal operation.
Orange = high level of the input signal (clip).
18. VU-METER - Chromatic tuner
24 LEDs bar that can be used as VU-METER, in order to
7
Page 8
visualize the signal intensity, or as Chromatic tuner.
The six central LEDs, labeled by the letters B E A D G C,
are very important when the LEDs bar is used as chromatic tuner. In fact they identify six different musical notes.
Each of these LEDs will light blue or red, depending on
whether you are playing a tuned or untuned note. In the
case of an untuned note, the red LEDs on the left or the
red LEDs on the right of the six central one, will red light
up indicating a waning or increasing note respectively.
The higher is the number of red LEDs on the more important is the untuned condition.
19. LED BUTTON
By pressing this button you can: a-scroll through the four
VU-Meter display modes, b-select the mode tuner, c- turn
off the 24 LED bar.
The last selection made on this button is always memorized.
On the ONE 800 and ONE 700x2 amplifiers, pressing
the LED button for about 8 seconds allows to select the
operation mode of the fans by switching from “LIVE” to
“STUDIO” and vice- versa; a brief flash of 24 LEDs visually
displays the selection change.
In “LIVE” mode the fans will activate when the amplifier
reaches a safe temperature threshold. In “STUDIO” mode,
the fans are normally turned off; however, after several
hours of use and under rather hard climatic conditions,
the fans may turn on. Eery time the amplifier is switched
on, the operating mode is reset to “LIVE” mode.
On the ONE 350 amplifier, pressing the LED button for
about 8 seconds allows to toggles the cooling fan activation.
20. MUTE BUTTON
Turn off the amplifier output. The activation of this mode
turns on the red LED on the left of the button.

SPEAKON OUTPUT
It is possible to use a 6.35 mm jack. We recommend to
use a 2 poles speakon connector. Never use a 6.35 jack
guitar cable to connect your amplifier to your speakers.
