WARNING 0 PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE, READ BACK COVER FOR FURTHER WARNINGS. OPERATING GUIDE The Basic™ 40 is a single unit, single channel amplifier which is the smallest of the range in our line of bass amplification. The Basic 40 produces well over 40 watts RMS into an & ohm load and is equipped with a very heavy-duty 12 speaker. The chassis and speaker are mounted in a ruggedly-constructed enclosure made of %" materials and covered with 34 oz. fabric reinforces vinyl. The system is very portable and will perform nicely for studio applications where levels are not as loud as large concert situations and the beginner bass player will certainly enjoy using this amplifier to its fullest extent for practice or even playing small concerts. While the Basic 40 is our smallest and lowest priced bass amp, itis still a professional system in quality and performance. Our DDT™ compression circuit (U.S. Pat. #4,318,053) maximizes this amp's performance so that the Basic 40 does run out of power (headroom) as easily as competing bass systems, The ODT compression eliminates most amplifier clipping and, theretore, keeps the output signal much cleaner than amplifiers without this patented system, We have also included four bands of EQ, a preamp output/power amp input loop, pre and post gain controls, and our vory offective "Pull Bright" control. Ali of the features listed above plus a new enclosure design add up to an unbeatable bass system within this size and power range. A comparison of features, quality and performance will illustrate the superiority of the Basic 40 over anything in its price/power category.POWER ON/OFF SWITCH ‘The front panel of the Basie™ 40 includes the on/etf power switch and this device is @ conventional two position, rocker-ype with the on indication atthe top and the off indication at the Dottom POWER LED ‘The LED on the front panel which is labeled Power (PWR) notifies the operator thatthe unit's receiving power from the AC mains and itis ready for operation. DOT COMPRESSION ‘Your Basic™is equippedwith ourpatented DOT compression circuit which senses the onset ofclippingia the power amplitier ang allows the system to remain cloan. This feature drastically reauices cstortion which I ‘ormally hears wnen the speaker receives a clipped (distoried) signal trom the power amplifier section ‘Speakoré last much longer and the program matenal remains much cleaner with the DT. (Distortion Detection Technique) system. There is an LED indicator on the front pane! of the amalitier which indicates ‘when the system nas gone into compression, There is no need to panie when this Hight beqine 1 fash ais ‘merely stating that the system has reached its fll ower and no more output will bs ontainea in excess ofthe power limitations Ina systom without DDT the amplifier will continue o ry to proguce more power tan ts fated output and this wil be noticed in the form of distortion EQUALIZATION PRESENCE EQ CONTROL ‘The Presence control boosts the high frequency response. This control may’ be utilized to obtain that extreme high frequency boost thas is necessaty for playing tnumb-siap bass or for any resson where the xtreme highs need to be emphasized. Pick naisé and fingernail noise may be grestly increased by rotation of the presence contralclockwise, By thesame token, a player whe desireste havenene! ine picknelseor hnger hoise reproduced may eliminate a great degree of extreme highs by operating he Presence contol near lis Counterclockuise postion The operation of this contol conventional and you will note that st atfects high Sequences above the frequency band of the high contra. HIGH EQ CONTROL ‘The High EQ control determines the overall balance of high frequenciesin heresponse of the Basic™ The action ofthis control is eimitar to that ofthe low frequency and the mid controls excep! for its high frequency tlteet More high frequency content is obtained with clockwise positions while less emphasis is placed on the highs with counterclockwise operation. SIC 0 4 - MOS NN e BA: MID EQ CONTROL ‘The Mid Equalizer controls the all important mid-bans which greatly altace the timbre and the overall tonal Coloration of most any string instrument. The Basic™ may be equalized Tor the desired amount of miderange “punch that js necessary to ereate those tones thatare popularin the studio ans during canicert tuations with this contro! Th's control operates on a 0t0 10 number seal and clockwise rotation Indicates more empnasis forthe mids while counterclockwiee operation indicates less mids and @ much “atier" overall tonality Proper {ujustmont of the mid-range EO 's vital to the overall sound of many instruments and you should experiment with this control using your particular base guitar and Ge famiuar with the different tonalities that can be ‘chieves by rotating from full counterclockw ee to fully clockwise, LOW EQ CONTROL, “The Low Equalizer Is designed to enhance low fundamentals and harmonics for typicel bass guitar applications. This contra is conventional n operation and is labeled 0 to 10 and allows increased bess frequency emphasis with clockwise settings. When the systom neods tobe extremely “dry "with loss response forthe extreme lows, te control should be operated near counterclockwise rotation. Care should be taken not to. overemphasize bass response with extrome lows bacause headroom normally suffers undar thess Concitions, With ne Basic" we are dealing with a moderately powerad amplifier and extreme amounts of ace ‘boost will ult In significantly less headroom and overall periormance, PREAMP OUT/POWER AMP INPUT “The preamp out/power amp in jack ie lecated on the front panel andis a “stereo or two position type jack In ordor to interlace an effects device or any acctional equalizer, ete info the Basic™ 40 systema stereo 1/4" shone plug must be lsed.

Incertain studio applications, however. this socond patch with amano phone plug is desirable when the internal speaker anc intemal power amp ts nt needed.
