INPUT JACKS
Both input jacks accept a standard 1/4" phone plug and both inputs can be used at the same
time. Since the two inputs are totally independent, no loss in volume or tone will occur if two
instruments are used simultaneously. Please keep in mind, however, that the Active/Passive input
has five times more gain than the Active input.
PASSIVE/ACTIVE INPUT
A "passive" instrument has no built-in preamp and does not use a battery. On the other hand, an
"active" bass utilizes a battery operated preamp, either for gain, tone controls, or both. Although
labeled "passive," the Passive input jack will work with all instruments having a maximum output
of less than 1 volt RMS. Generally speaking, try the Passive input jack first. If you hear a small
amount of distortion and the preamp clip LED is not activated, try using the Active input jack.
Note: If you want to overdrive the first TUBE stage, this can be accomplished by using an external preamp
between your instrument and the Passive input. To obtain optimum sound when trying this, make sure the preamp
clip LED is not activated. If this occurs, turn down your Gain control. The first preamp tube stage is NOT monitored
by the preamp clip circuit for this reason.
