Quickstart Guide and Hints This quick start guide will help you get started with the miniMEGA amplifier and have the best possible playing experience. Along with the Quick Start Guide, the Hints section will help you dial into the tonal sweet spots of this amp. We also recommend a thorough reading of this guide before playing through the amp, in order to prevent damage to the speakers. Getting started— Before turning on the miniMEGA, be certain that the power cable is plugged into an approved power source.
Quickstart Guide and Hints PUNCH also slightly changes the response of the LOW EQ control so that it has more effect on the upper bass frequencies as well as the lower bass frequencies. HINT: Use PUNCH for a great slap sound! Actually, it sounds great left on all the time for just about any style of music! QUASI-PARAMETRIC MIDDLE EQUALIZER: The Mini Mega features two quasi-parametric EQ filters labeled “LO MID” and “HI MID”.
bandwidth. When you activate the NARROW Q switch, the button will illuminate and the filter tuning is adjusted to have less bandwidth. It’s important to remember that because of the nature of parametric EQ’s, the Q also depends on the amount of cut or boost. For that reason, when using slight amounts of cut/boost, there may be no perceivable difference between the wide/narrow Q settings. See illustration below. -LO MID frequency ring set near minimum with moderate gain boost with NARROW Q turned on.
cessor. Activate the effect by pressing the enable button located directly below the knob or use the optional footswitch. KOSMOS A: Kosmos A is a sub harmonic synthesizer that tracks bass notes and then generates a sub harmonic one octave below to enhance the overall bass presence by adding extreme low frequency content that can be felt. HINT: Kosmos A is fantastic for musical styles that require smooth, deep bass such as Reggae, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Electronica.
