CHANNEL CONTROLS, SWITCHES & OUTPUTS

MID. These two knobs works in conjunction. Use the left

control to pick a frequency. Use the right control to boost
or cut the gain in the range of the chosen frequency. The
MID-controls are identical on both channels.

MASTER controls the volume on the Output jack.

The balanced output (XLR) is not affected by the
setting of this knob.

BASS is a 'shelving' type

filter with a wide gain
range. Identical on both
channels.

PHASE. This switch inverts

the phase of the A channel
when needed.

REFERENCE GUIDE

TYPE selects the function of the FILTER knob

between High Pass or Notch (same function available on both the A and B
channel).Default position is HP with the FILTER knob turned down to OFF.

SOURCE sets the input source for the B channel

to either 1/4” (CH B Input) or XLR (MIC Input)

GAIN adjusts the input signal level. An optimum

level is when the peak led starts flashing when
playing hard on your instrument. A correctly set
gain is vital for the signal processing to work
properly.

TREBLE is a shelving type filter controlling the

higher mids and treble registers, giving presence
and ambiance to the sound. The TREBLE control
is identical on both channels.

A TUNER OUT. This output is taken at the FX send and can be used to connect
to a tuner. This output becomes active when Mute is on.

B/C FX LOOP. Connect a TRS cable, such as the EBS ICY-30, to B to create an
Effects Loop where you can insert your effects. C offer the choice to set the
effects loop in parallel mode.

D OUTPUT. This is the master output jack to be connected to another amp or

power amplifier.

E CHANNEL B INPUT. This input is a direct input to the B channel or to both A+B
if the A+B switch is in its’ inner position.

F A+B. When A+B push switch is in its’ OUTER position:

Selects between A or B channel when only the A input (INPUT) is used.
If XLR input or B channel 1/4” jack is used at the same time, B selects this source.

When A+B push switch is in its’ INNER position:

Selects between A or A+B, i.e. either only A or A in series with B channel when
only A input is used. When B channel input jack is used or XLR is selected for
channel B, both channels are mixed together and the A/B foot switch has no
effect.

G INPUT - The A channel input is a low noise, high impedance instrument input.
