Amplier parameters
•
Channel I/II switch: Click to switch between channel I and channel II.
•
Channel I is active, with a gain of 0 dB.
•
Channel II is passive, with a gain of -15 dB.
•
Bright switch: Click to switch between normal and bright modes. In the bright position, highs
and upper mids are added to the tone.
Note: The increased mid and high range may lead to a perceived low end roll-o. Use the Bass
EQ knob if you feel the bottom end needs a boost.
•
Gain knob: Rotate to set the amount of pre-amplication applied to the input signal. The Gain
knob aects amp models dierently.
•
Master knob: Rotate to set the output volume of the amplier signal sent to the cabinet.
Increasing the Master level typically produces a compressed and saturated sound, resulting in
a more distorted and louder signal.
Note: If you choose Direct PowerAmp from the Cabinet pop-up menu, the output signal is
routed directly to the Amp/Direct Box Blend fader. However, if you choose Direct PreAmp from
the Cabinet pop-up menu, the Master knob acts as pre-amp master gain control before the
output signal is routed to the Amp/Direct Box Blend fader.
•
Output slider: Drag to set the nal output level of Bass Amp Designer.
