پاور ڪنيڪشن

Connect a 9V DC (center-negative) power supply to the 9VDC input jack on the top right side of the pedal. Ensure the power supply meets the specified requirements to prevent damage.

آڊيو ڪنيڪشن

• ان پٽ: Connect your bass guitar or other instrument to the 1/4" INPUT jack on the right side of the pedal.
• پيداوار: Connect the 1/4" OUTPUT jack on the left side to your amplifier, effects loop return, or audio interface.
• Direct Output (XLR): For connecting directly to a PA system, mixing console, or audio interface, use the balanced XLR DIRECT OUTPUT on the left side. This output provides a balanced version of the 1/4" output signal.
• Parallel Output: The 1/4" PARALLEL OUTPUT on the right side provides a buffered, unaffected signal from your instrument. This is useful for splitting your signal to another amplifier or tuner.
• گرائونڊ لفٽ: Use the GROUND LIFT switch next to the Direct Output to eliminate hum caused by ground loops when using the XLR output.

ڪنٽرول ختمview

• مرکب: This knob mixes the clean and processed signals. The clean signal remains at unity gain, while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine mix tuning.
• سطح: Sets the overall output volume of the overdriven signal.
• ڊرائيو: Controls the amount of gain in the overdriven signal. Higher settings result in more distortion.
• موڊ: This switch selects or mixes between the two distinct distortion circuits: الفا is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas اوميگا is simply brutal and raw.
• گوڙ: A shelving bass boost that provides a fatter tone and increased low-end saturation.
• ڇڪڻ: Boosts high mids (around 2.8kHz) for additional presence and definition, helping your bass cut through the mix.
• باس: Controls the level of the low frequencies in the EQ section.
• وچ: Controls the level of the midrange frequencies in the EQ section.
• ٽربل: Controls the level of the high frequencies in the EQ section.
