manual abstract
VOLUME: This control adjusts the output level for the clean channel and the input to the Octave circuit (16). Adjust this control no higher than that which causes the Peak/Mute LED (6) to flash on strong signal peaks. 6. PEAK/MUTE LED: This LED flashes when the signal level in the preamp approaches clipping. When the Mute switch (3) is depressed, this LED remains illuminated until the Mute is turned off. 7. STYLE: This five-position switch allows you to vary the tone of the clean channel. The following table lists each of the different settings – experiment with the Style and other EQ controls for the results which suit you best. POSITION 1: Fully “scooped” mids (mid cut) POSITION 2: Traditional passive tone setting POSITION 3: Basically flat POSITION 4: Boosted high end POSITION 5: Basically flat with low end roll-off – for loud playing without “muddiness” 8. BASS: This is the primary low frequency control which has a range of 22dB @ 50Hz. 9. ULTRA MID: This is the primary midrange control which has a range of 13dB @ 250Hz. 10. TREBLE: This is the primary high frequency control which has a range of 22dB @ 8kHz. 11. CHANNEL SELECT: This switch selects the clean channel in the out position and the overdrive channel when depressed. OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: 12. OD BOOST: This switch, when depressed, adds gain and tone shaping to the overdrive channel signal for heavy overdrive. 13. GAIN: This control sets the level of the signal entering the preamp stage. 14. STYLE: This five-position switch allows you to vary the tone of the overdrive channel. The following table lists each of the different settings – experiment with the Style control for the results which suit you best. POSITION 1: Mid cut – for clean to semi-overdriven sound POSITION 2: Slight mid cut POSITION 3: Basically flat POSITION 4: High end roll-off POSITION 5: Large mid peak tailored for heavily overdriven sound combined with the clean channel 15. VOLUME: This control adjusts the output level for the overdrive channel. 16. OCTAVE VOLUME: This control adjusts the output level for an added signal which is one octave lower than the instrument’s original signal. This signal is dependent on the clean channel’s Volume control (5) and can be switched by the Octave footswitch (31). The effectiveness of this signal depends on playing style, pickup selection, and neck position. 17. FX BLEND: This control varies the mix between the direct (dry) signal and the effects (wet) when the effects loop (26,27) is used. Full counterclockwise results in all direct signal (no effect) and full clockwise gives all effect and no direct signal. The clockwise position is equivalent to a series effects loop and should be used with such devices as limiters and equalizers. 18. MASTER: This control sets the overall output level of the amplifier. 19. OD/CLEAN LEDS: The red LED (“OD,” upper) illuminates when the overdrive channel is selected, while the green LED (“CLEAN,” lower) illuminates when the clean channel is selected. 20. POWER: This heavy-duty rocker switch applies AC power to the amplifier. The amp is ON when the top of the switch is depressed, OFF when the bottom of the switch is depressed. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 B5R Bass Amplifier B5R Bass Amplifier The Rear Panel: 22 21 23 29 30 31 32 24 25 26 27 28 21. CIRCUIT BREAKER: The B5R employs an AC line circuit breaker to help protect against damage due to excessive current demands. If the amplifier stops working, check the circuit breaker. If it has opened, the button will be protruding and showing a contrasting color. You can reset the circuit breaker by pushing it in until it latches. The breaker must cool down for a short time before the button will latch. If the circuit breaker opens repeatedly, have the amplifier checked by a qualified service person. 22. AC LINE IN: Firmly insert the supplied AC power cord into this socket until it is fully seated. Plug the male end of the cord into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE GROUND PRONG OF THE AC PLUG! 23. SPEAKER OUTPUTS: The 1/4” jacks offer a convenient method of connecting to speaker cabinets using cables terminated with 1/4” plugs. However, when using the amplifier at or near its full output power, using the Speakon® jack is recommended. 24,25. TRANSFORMER BAL. LINE OUT: These jacks supply a pre-Master, line level signal for connection to a house mixing board, recording console or external amplifier(s). The 1/4” jack (24) provides a balanced or an unbalanced signal (depending on the signal cable used); the XLR-type jack (25) provides a balanced signal. 26. EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: When using external effects, connect the effect’s output into this jack by means of a shielded instrument cable. 27. EFFECTS LOOP SEND: When using an external signal processor, connect this jack to the input of the effect by means of a shielded instrument cable. 28. TUNER OUT: This jack is provided for connection to an electronic tuner and is always “live,” even when the...
