footswitches are provided with the first footswitch allows the player to select Compressor
ON / OFF. The second footswitch switches ON and OFF the Bass Exciter. The third

BETA BASS PEDAL REAR PANEL

The rear panel has two ¼ inch phone jacks with one for the Bass Guitar input, one for
the final output signal. The Power Jack is connected to the supplied 9VAC power
adaptor. The Beta Bass Pedal internally converts the 9 volt AC signal from the power
adaptor to a professional +/- 15 volt DC power supply. This allows a 30 volt internal
signal swing required for proper headroom and professional level performance. The Beta
Bass Pedal will only operate on a 9VAC power source, do not use any other power
adaptor or damage may result. A balanced XLR output is also provided for direct
output to a mixer or a professional power amplifier input.
