manual abstract
Additional Precautions • Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions. • When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself— never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements. • A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation. • To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night). • When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials. • To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. • Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices. 1. Turn on the device connected to the CUBE’s input jack. 2. Turn on the CUBE. 3. Switch on any equipment connected to the CUBE’s LINE OUT, RECORDING OUT/PHONES and BALANCED OUT jacks. Turn off the devices in the reverse order to which they were switched on. • Wrap the power cord around the cord hook when trans-porting or storing the unit. • Do not insert hands, fingers, etc, into the openings in the unit. In particular, if the unit is to used in households with small children, always provide adult supervision to ensure that children keep their hands and feet out of these openings. 5 Panel Descriptions fig.01 1. INPUT Jack Connect your bass guitar here. 2. PEAK Indicator This lights up when the signals are distorted in the input section. If this lights frequently, it indicates that the input signal is in excess of the optimal level. Press the PAD switch ( . ) to reduce the sensitivity. If this still lights up even with the PAD switch pressed, reduce the output level on the device being input to the amp. * Inputting in excess of the optimal level can cause unintended distortion and may prevent the COMPRESSION and T-WAH effects from functioning properly. Be sure to check the input level each time you connect a different bass or have an effects device connected between the bass and the amp. 3. PAD Switch This adjusts the degree of amplification in the INPUT circuitry (the input sensitivity). Switching this on lowers the input sensitivity (-10 dB). Switch this on if distortion occurs in this device’s input section (PEAK indicator lights) as the result of using basses with high output signal levels or using connected devices. We recommend that this be switched off for ordinary use in order to prevent degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio. 4. COMPRESSION Knob This is an effect that compresses overly high signals while boosting lower-level input. Turning the knob to the right increases the compression effect. When compression is on, the ON indicator lights up; the indicator is unlit when the effect is turned off. COSM AMPLIFIER 5. SHAPE Switch This effect alters the COSM amps’ tonal qualities. The particular effect obtained varies according to the amp selected with the Type switch ( . ). 6. Type Switch You can select from the eight COSM amp types. For details on each type, refer to p. 7. 7. GAIN Knob This adjusts the preamp section’s input level. Turning the knob to the right increases the gain. Using a high gain setting allows you to get an overdrive sound. Set the knob to as high a value as possible before the sound distorts to get the best signal-to-noise ratio. 8. VOLUME Knob Adjusts the overall volume. * The VOLUME knob do not affect the LINE OUT and the BALANCED OUT (p. 8). EQUALIZER 9. BASS Knob Adjusts the tone quality of the lower range. 10 . LOW-MID Knob Adjusts the tone quality of the lower midrange. 11 . HIGH-MID Knob Adjusts the tone quality of the upper midrange. 12 . TREBLE Knob Adjusts the tone quality of the upper range. 1 3 4 5 6 12 15 16 17 9 10 11 13 14 7 8 2 Stereo Headphones Recorder, PC Panel Descriptions Panel Descriptions * Graduations for CHORUS, FLANGER and T-WAH on a panel are for reference. Be sure to check the sound as you adjust the effects. CHORUS In this effect, a slightly detuned sound is added to the original sound, giving the sound greater breadth and fullness. Turning the knob to the right increases the rate and deepens the chorus effect. FLANGER This creates a flanging effect that creates a sort of spinning sensation with the sound. Turning the knob to the right increases the rate and deepens the flanging effect. T-WAH The frequency response of the filter changes according to the input level, producing unique changes in the timbre. Turning the knob to the...
