Each channel features a single 1/4 inch Input jack and Volume control. The Effects Send and Effects Return jacks can be used with a wide variety of effects devices, or as patch points for slaving multiple amps together. The Effects Send can also be used to connect your PRECISION BASS PLUS directly to a recording console or sound reinThat is why we proudly say. . . [. . . ] The PRECISION BASS PLUS's rugged 50 watt power amplifier was designed to give years of quality service under all conditions and is equipped with a unique implementation of our exclusive DELTACOMPTM adaptive compression system. With DELTACOMPTM, it is practically impossible to cause the power amplifier to clip (distort). Also, apparent compressor release time is kept short keeping distortion to a minimum at low frequencies. A tape player or drum machine can be mixed with the preamp signal (pre-effects loop) by using the Tape In jacks. The Headphones jack automatically mutes the internal speaker while driving stereo or mono headphones for private practice sessions. PRECISION BASS PLUS FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS A. CHANNEL 1 INPUT (1/4" Phone)- Plug-in connection for instruments. CHANNEL 1 VOLUME- This control adjusts the preamplifier gain of channel 1. It works in conjunction with the Master Volume control (item H) to set the overall loudness of the amplifier for Channel 1 only. Being a true "gain" control, it allows for the use of a variety of microphones, keyboards or other instruments with differing output signal levels. Low-level instruments generally require a higher Channel Volume setting, while "hotter" keyboards require a lower Channel Volume setting. TAPE IN JACK- Two RCA style jacks provide an input for an unbalanced, mono signal from a tape player or CD player. This signal is summed with the signal from the preamp inputs and provides the user the ability to play along with pre-recorded music. J. HEADPHONE JACK- This jack allows the use of stereo headphones for private listening. WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN USING HEADPHONES, AS EXCESSIVE VOLUME WILL DAMAGE YOUR HEARING. POWER INDICATOR- When this LED is illuminated, the PRECISION BASS PLUS is receiving power. POWER SWITCH- This switch turns the PRECISION BASS PLUS On or Off. K. L.
