{1} Use the POWER switch to switch the BTX36000 on and off.
You should always make sure that the POWER switch is in
the “Off” position when initially connecting the unit to the
mains.
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the main
cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug
is easily accessible. If mounting in a rack, ensure that the
mains can be easily disconnected by a plug or by an all-pole
disconnect switch on or near the rack.
Please note that switching the unit off does
$
not fully disconnect it from the mains. When
not using the unit for a long period of time,
please unplug the unit’s power cord from the
power outlet.
{2} INPUT: To connect an electric bass to the BUGERA amplifi er,
use this ¼" mono jack (unbalanced).
{3} TUNER OUTPUT jack: To connect the BTX36000 to an
electronic tuner, use this ¼" TS jack. Alternatively, use the
TUNER OUTPUT (36) found on the rear panel.
You can mute the main signal path to tune your instrument
by pressing the MUTE button {4}.
INPUT features
{4} MUTE: Use this button if you want to tune a bass without
hearing the tone. This feature mutes the main signal path,
but not the TUNER output.
{5} -15 dB: If the (CLIP) LED (5) constantly illuminates and the
GAIN control (6) is set to 0 (zero), the input level of the audio
signal is too high. In this case, press this button to activate
the pad. The pad reduces the input sensitivity by 15 dB.
(CLIP) LED: At various points in the signal path, the
BTX36000 monitors the level of the audio signal. When the
level is too high, the (CLIP) LED warns that clipping can
occur. If the LED:
occasionally illuminates, the BTX clips only =
some peaks in the audio signal. Occasional
clipping does not reduce the sound quality and
shows that the signal is strong enough.
never illuminates, the BTX does not clip any =
signal peaks in the audio signal. The audio sig-
nal is probably too weak to make use of the full
dynamic range. Increase the GAIN (6) setting
until the (CLIP) LED lights up only occasionally,
at the strongest signal peaks.
constantly illuminates, the BTX clips a large =
part of the audio signal and you will hear a
distortion. Lower the GAIN setting and check
for extreme fader or control settings.
{6} GAIN control: Use this control to boost or cut the level of the
input signal.
COMPRESSOR section
{7} The ON [ACTIVE] switch activates and deactivates the com-
pressor. The switch lights when the compressor is active and
the light dims when the signal level exceeds the threshold.
{8} The COMPRESSION control determines the compression
level. You can adjust the amount of compression between
0 and 10:1.
EQUALIZER section
{9} The ULTRA HIGH switch boosts the frequency range cen-
tered at 5 kHz by 6 dB.
(10) The ULTRA LOW switch emphasizes the frequencies typical
for a bass guitar, especially those of the lower strings.
(11)
BASS, MID, and TREBLE controls: For each tone (bass, mid-
range, and treble) that you can emphasize or de-emphasize,
the BTX includes a single TONE control.
To emphasize a tone, you can turn the relevant tone control
toward 10 (maximum boost). Alternatively, you might con-
sider lowering adjacent bands. To de-emphasize a tone,
