Front Panel
-20dB Enables a 20dB signal reduction on the microphone input.
+48V Enables +48V phantom power on the microphone input. Only
use with condenser microphones.
Mic/Inst Switches between Mic (pressed in) and line inputs. Plugging an
instrument into the front input bypasses the mic input.
Input Gain Adds gain to the input signal.
Opto Distort/On Rotary control from minimum (light distortion), to
maximium (heavy fuzz/distortion). The pushbutton enables the
distortion sound.
Compression/On Rotary control from minimum (no compression) to
maximum (full compression). In actual fact, this control is like a
threshold control. The pushbutton enables/bypasses the
compressor section.
Compression mode 5 position selector switch for compression effect.
The preset controls the compressor's attack, release and ratio
settings. Warm Meek is the lightest setting, Super Joe is the most
severe. Fat Meek is the most noticeable sound on solo
instruments.
Compression meter 4 LED meter that shows the gain reduction from the
compressor in dB.
EQ Bypass switch for EQ section.
LF Controls gain of the low frequencies in the equaliser section.
LFf Controls the centre frequency for the LF cut/boost
MF Controls gain of the mid frequencies in the equaliser section.
MFf Controls the centre frequency for the mid cut/boost
HF Controls gain of the high frequencies (8KHz).
MUTE Disables sound output on the main, DI, digital (optitional), insert
outputs. Note, does not affect tuner.
Output Gain Controls the output level of the main and digital outputs.
Input meter Shows the level of the signal before the output gain control.
