DANGER
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals
vary considerably to noise-induced hearing loss but most will lose some hearing if
exposed to intense noise for a sufficient period of time.
The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn
when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing
loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth above, to insure against potentially
harmful exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons
exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this

warmth and deep, full tones of your acoustic instrument.
b. MIDRANGE – set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) adjustable from 500 Hz to 1.2 kHz. Allows you to control the denition and voice of
your acoustic instrument.
1. FREQUENCY this adjusts the center frequency for the MIDRANGE EQ control above: you can sweep between 500Hz and 1.2kHz.
Moving the midrange frequency and either cutting or boosting this frequency will give you maximum control over the body
of your tone. It also allows you to control the denition and voice of your acoustic instrument or vocals.
c. HIGH – set to boost (15 dB) or cut (-15 dB) frequencies at 10 kHz. Increasing this will enhance the clarity and brightness of your
acoustic instrument.
5. Digital effects

REAR PANEL
1. POWEr – this rocker switch will illuminate with a soft amber color when the amp is turned on and ready to play.
A. AC LINE IN – this plug accepts a standard CLASS 1 IEC grounded cable (included) to provide AC power to the amplier.
B. VOLTAGE SELECTOR used to select the input voltage level to 110/115V or 220/230V. Voltage standards vary by country. This
switch is preset at the factory. Setting the power supply voltage switch to the incorrect input voltage could damage the
power supply and possibly other parts of your equipment.
2. DIRECT OUTPUT
a. PRE/POST EQ Switch – this switch determines if your direct output signal will be effected by the front panel equalization
settings. In the PRE setting, the direct signal is not effected by the front panel settings; in POST setting, the direct signal
is effected by the EQ settings.
b. DIRECT OUTPUT LEVEL – this adjusts the overall level of the direct output.
c. DIRECT OUTPUT – connect a standard XLR balanced cable from this jack to provide a line-level signal to your PA system,
powered speaker, or other powered output device.
d. GROUND LIFT – this switch disconnects pin 1 on the XLR jack, which is connected to the shield in the cable and acts as
the ground point of the circuit, reducing ground-related noise.
3. EFFECTS LOOP – these ¼” unbalanced send and returns allow you to run external effects before the preamp, resulting in
clearer effects signal, and cleaner levels (line level vs. instrument level). Connect the Send to your effect devices input,
and the output from your device to the return.
4. bluetooth® – this switch engages the bluetooth® connectivity for use with your mobile devices: simply tether your
mobile or aux device using the passcode (1967) to allow audio playback.
