WARWICK WA & BC SERIES BASS AMPLIFIERS OWNER’S MANUAL Classic sound with modern performance. Manufacturing techniques and component quality has improved drastically over the last couple of decades. Noise and hum are no longer unavoidable side effects of great sound. So here we have recreated the “Classic” 10 band graphic EQ powered Bass Amp with big, powerful, tight sound in a modern package.
DYNAMIC DISTORTION LIMITER™ Distortion occurs when an amplifier works beyond its range, when the power supply cannot supply the power any more to take the amp higher. A common method to control distortion in amps is to use a limiter, a device that stops the signal going beyond a specific level. Audio limiters work by setting a threshold signal level where the circuit kicks in and keeps signal levels within the capabilities of the power supply.
SAFETY Caution: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the cover as there are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of noninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute risk of shock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Read the manual.
15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall not be placed on apparatus 16. Never set the amplifier on a support that might give out under its weight. 17. WARNING: The mains plug used as disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. 18.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS WA600咥㡆ϱॄ – Input to plug in shielded guitar cable. This input is low sensitivity to suit the output from guitars with active electronics. PASSIVE – Input to plug in shielded guitar cable. This input is high sensitivity to suit the output from passiveguitars. GAIN – Controls the input signal level to the preamp. COMPRESSION – Controls the amount of compression applied to the signal. MUTE – Switch mutes all outputs, except the tuner out and the headphone out.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS MAINS IN AC TUNER OUT SEND & RETURN LINE OUT DI OUT PRE-POST GROUND LIFT SPEAKER OUT – On/off switch for main power. For your safety remember to connect power cord to the amplifier first, then to the AC outlet and then turn this switch on. It works backwards when you want disconnect unit – firstly turn switch off, then disconnect cord from the AC outlet and finally disconnect cord from amplifier.
TROUBLESHOOTING When your unit seems not to work properly, take a few minutes to troubleshoot before colling service. You can save yourself time and money by doing it yourself because the source of the problem is often something quite simple. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? 1. There is no sound from the amp and LEDs don’t light up. -> Check your AC outlet. 1.1. Outlet is ok. -> check power cord, unit fuses and power switch. 1.2. No power in outlet. -> Check house fuse box. 2.
