[. . . ] AIASHVillETM 400 f WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE, READ THE OPERATING GUIDE FOR FURTHER WARNINGS. NASHVILLE'" 400 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Congratulations, you have just purchased the successor of the famous LTD@ 400. The new Nashville'" 400 is a refinement of the capabilities and features of the older LTD@ 400 and has far surpassed that unit in performance. This new system features our more efficient Super Structure'", 15" Black Widow@ loudspeaker in a ruggedly constructed enclosure of 3/4" wood, which is covered with 34-ounce heavyduty vinyl Tolex. [. . . ] For instance, asetting on the minus (cut) position with the Mid Control will create a dip or a notch in the mid-range response and the shift can relocate this notch anywhere between 150 Hz and 1500 Hz. With this notch preselected with the Mid-range Control you will notice that counterclockwise settings near 150 Hz with the shift will yield thinner sounding mids, while clockwise settings will yield fatter sounding mids. Note also that just the opposite effect is possible when you select a boost with the middle control and rotate the shift from 150 Hz to 1500 Hz. Most steel guitar players will adjust their Shift Control in the area between 600 Hz and 800 Hz depending on the player, once again, and the equipment used. For lead guitar, a shift setting of 300-500 will usually yield best results. HIGH EQ CONTROL (6) This control is of the active peak/notch type and provides true boost or cut in lower high frequency ranges (2 KHz). As with the low and the middle controls, the high EQ produces boost in the clockwise positionsand cut in thecounterclockwise settings while flat response is obtained in the vertical (12:00 o'clock) position. Care should be taken not to overboost the highs since this can contribute an unpleasantly harsh response as described above. Notice also that there will be a slight interaction between the Shift Control and the High EQ Control when the shift is operated up near 1500 Hz because this places the middle control and the high control very close to each other along the frequency spectrum. PRESENCE CONTROL (9) The Presence Control has been brought forth from the Session@ 400which was one of our first amplifiers to include this high frequency element. The control is a conventional rotary type device, but acts very much like a bright boost system. Once again, this control is active with 15 dB of cut or boost and takes effect at approximately 5 kHz. Extra brightness, which emphasizes "pick noise"and extreme silky highs, may be added with this Presence Control in the boost position. If your preference in tonality is without any additional "sizzle" on the top end then you may require the Presence Control to be operated on the minus or counterclockwise position. Most guitar applications require a slight amount of presence boost but it is usually in the neighborhood of only about 3 dB. Once again, these settings will vary according to equipment used and player technique. Please be aware that additional high frequency boost may be obtained with the "Pull Bright Control" (see explanation for "Pre Gain/Pull Bright"). REVERB CONTROL (10) The Reverb Control determines the amount of delayed (reverb) signal mixed back into the output and its operation is conventional. In addition, the reverb may be switched on and off through the use of a remote footswitch. This footswitch patches into the back panel footswitch input jack and is conventional in operation. We have included a new reverb circuit featuring a current source drive together with the new Accutronics three spring reverb unit. The action of this control is "0" to "10" and should provide more than enough reverberation for most any situation.
