feel as good as they sound. In addition to arming it with
an active 4-band EQ network and our unique Bassilator
circuit (which fattens and enriches the lows dramatically),
we've spent countless hours voicing it to ensure that this
highly compact and sturdy combo is flexible and toneful

enough to make its presence easily felt in any and all
playing situations. And, to make sure that its top end is
every bit as punchy as the impressive lows and mids its
custom voiced 12" speaker kicks out, we've also loaded it
with a HF (high frequency) tweeter horn. Before we show
you how to get the most out of your brand new T-60
combo (and it's as easy as falling off a log, believe me!),
let's take a quick look at its features...
1. Input Jack
This, believe it or not, is where you plug your bass into
the amp! There are two (2) input jacks to choose from:
Passive and Active...
PASSIVE: This input is most commonly used for bass
guitars with non-active pickups. (i.e. no on-board
preamp)
ACTIVE: This input is most commonly used for bass
guitars that have active pick- ups with an on-board
preamp or battery.
2. Volume Control
Amazingly enough, this control determines the overall
volume of the amplifier!
3. Treble Control
This cuts (reduces) or boosts the high frequencies.
Tu rning the knob clockwise from the center position (12
o’clock) boosts the highs while turning it counter-clockwise will cut the high frequencies.
4. High-Mid Control
This cuts or boosts the higher mid-range frequencies.
Tu r ning the knob clockwise from the center position
boosts the high-mids while; turning it counter-clockwise
cuts the higher mid frequencies.
5. Low-Mid Control
Wait for it - this cuts or boosts the lower mid-range
frequencies! So, as you’d expect, turning the knob
clockwise from the center position boosts the lower-mids
while turning it counter-clockwise cuts the lower mid
frequencies.
6. Bass Control
This cuts or boosts the bass frequencies. Turning the
knob clockwise from the center position boosts ’em while
turning it the other way reduces ’em.
7. Bassilator Switch
When this switch is set to the “ON” position (i.e. is pushed
“in”), the low end is emphasized and sub-bass harmonics
are added to create a rich, punchy bass tone.
8. Phone Out Jack
Connect your headphones here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Connecting the headphones
here mutes the internal speaker, making this facility
ideal for “silent” practice.

EXTENSION
SPEAKER
Jack
This is where you connect a 4 Ohm extension speaker
cabinet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Connecting an extension
speaker here mutes the internal speaker. For
optimum performance we strongly recommend the
following:
a) Only use extension cabinets with an impedance of 4 Ohms or more (e.g. 8 Ohms ) with
these combos. NEVER use a lower impedance
(e.g. 2 Ohms) or damage could result.
WARNING: If you use an extension cabinet
with an impedance of more than 4 Ohms your
T-60's output power will be reduced - it only
produces its full output of 60 Watts when
presented with a 4 Ohm speaker load.
b) DO NOT use a speaker cabinet with a Wattage
rating that is less than 60 Watts. If you ignore this
warning, you could end up blowing a speaker and that's not recommended!
c) ALWAYS use a good quality speaker cable
(unshielded) to connect an external cabinet NEVER use a guitar (shielded) cable.
10. Power Switch
Um...believe it or not, this is how you turn on power to the
amplifier! Assuming it's plugged in to a working outlet!! It
is plugged into a working outlet right? Good...

EFFECT SEND and RETURN Jacks
This is where you can connect your favorite effects
processor. (e.g. ToneWorks AX1B!!) to the T-60s Series
Effects Loop. The “SEND” jack is the preamp “out” of the
T-60 which is connected to the “IN” on your effects and
the “RETURN” jack is a power amp “in” which should be
connected to the “OUT” jack of effects unit.
