USING THE POWER BOOSTER

The BOOST control knob is designed to go from unity gain (full counter

clockwise) to +8dB of gain boost (full clockwise). Depress the BOOST

footswitch so the LED is illuminated and turn the BOOST control knob

clockwise until the desired level is attained. Check the relationship

between the two channels with and without the power-booster to ﬁ ne

tune your gain structure so there are no surprises when drepressing the

footswitches.

USING THE EFFECT LOOP

The effect loop features an insert jack like the ones used on professional

mixers. This employs a standard tip ‘send’, ring ‘return’ insert jack with a

stereo TRS (tip ring sleeve) plug at one end and two standard ¼” mono

plugs on the other.

The TRS plug connects to the Bassbone LOOP jack and the two ¼” mono

plugs connect to the input and output jacks of the effect pedal.

The advantages of using an effect loop to connect pedals include reduced

pick-up loading for a more natural bass guitar sound, less noise because

your sound is going directly to your ampliﬁ er and the ability to pre-set

different multi-pedal setups while playing without actually hearing the

setups until you engage the effect loop.

Combining pedal effects with the power booster can be both powerful and

dramatic. With the touch of a button, one can produce thunderous tones

that can completely change the ambience from one song to another. This

will most assuredly spur on creativity!
