1.0 CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

INPUT: Connect active or passive basses to this jack.
GAIN: Controls the input sensitivity of the BassForce preamp.
Use it to dial in a level suitable for the output level of the bass
you have connected. Higher gain settings produce punchier
tone well-suited to rock styles.
BASS: This active voicing control defines the bottom end.
At a setting of 12 o'clock, the signal remains completely unaf-
fected.
MID: Determines how much the mid-range frequencies are
boosted or cut.
TREBLE: Use this control to adjust the high end, i.e. dial in over-
tones or add a cutting edge to the tone. To give your
BassForce a warmer tone, we placed this pot in the circuit
right after the input stage, so it also has some influence over
preamp saturation.
MASTER: Controls the stage volume of the BassForce. It does
not however influence the output level of the LINE OUT jack.
FX- SEND: Connect this output to the input of your effects devi-
ce.
FX- RETURN: Connect the output of your effects device to this
jack.
LINE OUT: Output of the BassForce preamp. Connect it to a
mixer or power amp. This output is post-EQ section—in other
words, the settings of the tone knobs influence this signal; the
MASTER volume knob, however, does not.
PHONES: Connect headphones to this jack. The BassForce
speaker output circuit is muted automatically when this jack is
used.
MAINS: AC power supply switch.
MAINS SOCKET: Connect the Euro-norm mains cable to this
socket. The fuse bracket is integrated in the socket; ensure you
use specified replacement fuses only!

1. Finding the Right Gain Setting:
The response of the BassForce preamp depends entirely on the
instrument you are playing, its pickups, signal level and to
some extent your playing style. Use the GAIN control to dial in
a suitable level. Play as you normally would and turn up the
knob to a point just prior to clipping—ensure the POWERAMP
CLIP LED does not light up. Please note that the higher you
turn up the TREBLE, the greater the likelihood of saturating the
BassForce preamp.
