FOREWORD
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Eden E Series Combo Amplifier System. All of
us at Eden are totally committed to providing you with the very best bass guitar systems in their
class. Our goals are to offer you the outstand ing performance quality ofa top-notch, professional
bass amplification system at a reasonable price point, and to make Eden amplifiers the most
musical and reliable Bass amplifiers available.
This manual will cover domestic and international versions of the E Series Combo Ampl ifiers,
including the E2 l 0, E4 l 0, E2 l 2 and E 115.
The E Series is powered by the RS320 amplifier w hi ch delivers 200 watts RMS output @ 8
Ohms and 320 watts @ 4 Ohms, all with + 3dB of headroom. This amplifier also features a
thermostatically controlled, active cooling system with built-in thermal safeties.
You have purchased what we feel is one of the finest bass amplifiers
in its class . The pre-amplifier section , with its famil iar Eden Enhance control and powerful
semi-parametric tone control system is coupled to a gentle auto-compression circuit, allowing yo u
to achieve a wide array of sounds. This compact amplifier houses modular circuits made with
superior components and designed for years of trou ble-free service.
The Eden products group is the result of our quest fo r ultimate bass tone and maximum
reliability. Your ampl ifie r was designed, engineered and manufactured equivalent to aircraft
vibration standards and housed in a welded steel chassis with steel top to ensure maximum
reliability. The modular design allows quick repair in the field should such a need arise.
The Eden line of amplifiers is the result of our research and development in combining
high performance and compact size. Just as a skilled craftsman needs good quality tools that
won't let him down on the job, so does a good musician. We hope you enjoy the tool we've
created fo r you . Have fun; play low!
Please read this manual in its entirety before operating your new amplifier. Failure to do so
could result in misuse or damage. We've taken the time to write it, which was a lot longer
than the time it will take for you to read it. Help us help you by taking a few moments to
learn how to properly use your new amp. You'll be glad you did!
CAUTION!
Your ears are your most important piece of equipment. Unfortunately, they cannot be
replaced as easily as your other gear. Please take the following warning seriously.
This product, when used in combination with loudspeakers and/or additional amplification
may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO
NOT operate at high volume levels or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any
discomfort or ringing in the ears or suspect hearing loss, you should consult an audiologist.
Thank you for yo ur purchase of an Eden bass guitar product. This unit has been designed
and constructed to give you years of trouble-free service.
Please take the time to review thi s manual and to send in your warranty registration card.
FRONT PANEL FEATURES
Input Jack - Designed to accept a standard 1/4- inch mono phone plug. For best results use a.
high quality shielded cable to connect your instrument to the amplifier. The input is
buffered and will handle standard passive, high level active, and piezo input s ignals.
Mute Indicator - lights when the Mute function is engaged, which can only by done via the
included footswitch.
Gain Control - Regulates the first gain stage of the preamplifier and controls the amount of
signal available to the system .
- 12dB Pad - Pulling the Gain knob engages a - 12dB pad. This feature is useful for basses
that have a very high signa l level. The li ght is on when the pad is engaged .
Set Level/Compression Indicator - This light helps the user set the appropriate amount of
gain. When set properly, the indicator should light on your loudest/ lowest notes, or when
the compressor is active. We'll go over this in more detail later in the manual.
Edge Control -Allows you to dial in a little vintage, tube-style distortion as you like. The
control produces a warm single-sided, even order harmonic distortion that sounds just like
the old tube heads. With the control turned fully counter-clockwise, the circuit is bypassed.
The further to the right you turn the control the more distortion you will get. The distortion
is fair ly subtle at low input levels and is more pronounced at high gain settings.
Enhance Control - called the" Magic Knob" by some, this complex control simultaneously
Boosts very low bass, upper middle, and high frequencies while putting a dip in the lower
middle frequencies .
It is flat when set to its minimum level (fully counterclockwise).
Compressor Bypass - Pulling the Enhance control all ows you to bypass the front end
Compressor/ Limiter. The Compressor/ Limiter in your unit is a fixed threshold type. You adjust
the Compression level by turning the gain control up or down until you get the amount of
compression you want. You may find the bypass switch useful for getting that maximum punch
when you are slapping or popping hard.
Semi-Parametric Equalizer - Allows you to dial in a specific frequency to enhance or cut.
This feature is especially useful for upright and acoustic bass guitars that have a resonant
frequency. Because we've included a bypass switch, you can also use it to create a second tone
that is available instantaneously. (You're welcome.) The frequency is adjustable from 40Hz to
IOKHz. T he level can be adjusted+/ - 15 dB. The control is FLAT when the level control is at
12:00 position (straight up) . ON/OFF Indicator
D.I. Se lector -Allows the user to choose to send the D.l. either pre-EQ or post-EQ.
T hree Band Tone Controls - Divides the aud io spectrum into th ree bands: Bass, Mid, and
Treble. The Bass and Treble controls are shelving type filters. The Mid control is a band pass
type filter. These controls give you a broad general control of the tone shaping.
Maste r Volum e - Controls the main stage sound level and the Head Phone outputs.
Headphone Jack - Accepts a standard ?inch stereo or mono headphone plug. It can also be used
as a Master Output send to slave another amplifier.
DC Indicator - When lit, shows that the low voltage power supplies are operating.
Mains On/Off Switch -This switch turns the system power ON or OFF. The switch il luminates
to indicate the presence of AC power present in the chassis. This switch is prior to the fuse. The
light in the switch may flicker depending on local voltage conditions. This is normal and
noth ing to be concerned about.
NOTE: The Mains Switch will illuminate even if the fuse is blown. However, the DC Indicators
will not illuminate if the fuse is blown.
IM PORTANT NOTE: When attached, the included lighted footswitch will defeat the Front
Panel controls for the Mute to Tune and Enhance Bypass functions.
BACK PANEL FEATURES
A mplifier Powe r Rating:
RMS output (with +3 dB headroom):
200 Watts @ 8 Ohms
320 Watts @ 4 Ohms
Coolin g System - Your ampli fier features a thermostatica lly controlled fa n, w hich wil l switch
on w he n the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F. ln low volume s ituations (into 8 Ohm
loads) the fan may not come on at all.
The cooling system a lso features a hi gh temperature thermal safety system, which will activate
a circuit if the operating temperature goes above 200 degrees F. This circuit wi ll automatically
turn off the output of the system in the event of overheating. It will automatically reset itself as
soon as the unit cools down to a safe operating temperature.
NOTE: the D.J. w ill continue to operate normally even when the amplifie r is in thermal safety
mode. Only the stage sound wi ll be lost.
IMPORTANT NOT E: Excessive heat is a Very Bad T hing and can result in severe damage to
you r amplifier. DO NOT bypass or disco nnect any part of you r thermal safety system. Doing so
will immediately void your warranty!
Co mbinatio n Power Co rd Ja ck and Fuse Hold er -The removable power cord is attached here.
To access the fuse holder, pull the holder out of the top of the power receptacle . Your unit was
sh ipped with a spare fuse inserted in the fuse carrier. USE ONLY THE SAME SIZE AND
TYPE FOR R EPLACMENT. Using a fuse with a different rating than specified is a VERY
BAD THING and can cause damage to your amp li fier.
All mode ls come with a holder marked (FUSE) and are facto ry configured fo r 1OO/l 20/ 230/240
only and must be adapted by a service tech for any vo ltage change.
Fuse Requirem ents:
USA @ 120 Volts / 60 HZ - 4 Amps, 5 x 20 mm GMC/T/ slow blow
Europe @ 240 Volts/ 50 Hz- 2Amps, 5 x 20 mm G MC/T/ slow blow
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always use slow blow or time delay type fuses. Do not use fast blow
fuses.
To convert yo ur ampl ifier from US to European fusing, remove the Fuse Holder and in sert a 2
Amp slow blow fuse . Flip the fuse ho lder over and rei nsert.
IMPORTANT NOTE: 1n order to operate properly in parts of the world not listed above, your
:amplifier may require m inor modifications. These modifications should be made by a
QUALIFIED technician. Contact your local distributor for further information .
.Auxiliary S peaker Output - This consist I /4-inch jack is wired in seri es. It allows you to
connect an additional speaker system to your combo. P lease note, however, that your combo is
designed to put its full available power into the internal speaker.
S peaker On/Off Switch - Th is switch turns off the loudspeaker outpu t jacks allowing the user
to use the headphones only for silent practice. Room mates and neighbors may really appreciate
this feature, especially at three in the morning.
FX Loop (Send and Return) - These standard I /4-inch jack s allow you to send and receive
your signal to and from external devices. The effects loop is positioned post (behind) the
compressor and before the Enhance control and the tone section. This loop is at line level; do
not use instrument level effects in this loop as they tend to be overloaded by the higher signal
level which can cause dis tortion.
Footswitch Jack - Connect the footswitc h he re. The footswitch offers two fu nctions that are
not available on the amplifier. (See be low.)
D.I. Level - Controls the level being sent from the XLR balanced output jack. We s uggest
setting the control at approx imately 12 o'clock initially. If the sig nal to the board is too hot, it's
better to engage the Input Pad on your c hannel of the board than to turn it down here, if at all
possible. In general, it's better (in terms of signal-to- noise ratio and dynamic presentation) to
send as hot a signal as possible to the board. Howeve r, you can adjust the s ignal level , if
n ecessary, so make s ure your soundperson or recording engineer is aware of this capability.
G round Lift Switch - T hi s switch lifts the ground within the balanced output system to allow
you to eliminate excess ive noise/ ground loops when connected to external systems.
Recording Out (D.T.) -Th is fu ll y ba la nced XLR output allows you to send a pre- or post-EQ
signal to a recording or sound re info rcement mixing console. We use Pin 2 hot configuration.
Adjusting the Master Volume control will not affect this send. This output is designed to use
with phantom powered systems. However, it never hurts to turn off the phantom power at the
board, if possible.
Tuner Out - Sends a signal to your tuner. When used in conjunction with the Mute function ,
this allows silent tuning. Vocalists and lead guitarists love this feature.
It can also be u sed to prov ide pre-tone signa l to oth er devices such as a direct box or conso le.The
s ignal is enough to provi de ad equate signal to virtually every tuner on the market.
Mono Pre-EQ Effects Send/ Return - These standard 1/4-inch jacks allow you to send and
receive your signa l to and from external devices. This effects loop is positioned post (behind)
the compressor and before the E nhance control and the tone section. This loop is at line level;
do not use instrument leve l effects in this loop as they tend to be overloaded by the higher signa l
level which can cause distortion.
FOOTS WITC H FEAT URES
As previously stated, the footswitch activates two fea tures not available v ia the amplifie r itself_
We think they both qualify as Really Neat Things.
Mute to Tune - Step on this switch to mute everything e xcept the Tuner Out. Now you can tune
without bothering your s inger. Or the audience. Neat, huh?
E nh ance By pass - Bypassing the Enhance allows you to create two different tones - one with,
and one without Enhance. Then , use this switch to flip between the two. Even Neater, don't you
think?
A BOUTTH ESP EAK ERS
Eden is the only bass amplifier manufacturer to design, engineer and build its own dri vers .
Design ing and building our own speakers and hi gh-frequency drivers allows us to create far
greater synergy between our drivers and cabinets than any other manufacturer can achieve. We
can create several speaker a nd/or cabinet prototypes and then test them together to find the best
possible combination. No other manufacturer has this capability, which is w hy no other
manufacture r can equal Eden's sound and re liability.
We manufacture a broad array of e ncl osures to ensure the every bass ist on the planet can find
the perfect cabinets to match his or her playing style and personal tonal requirements. The E
combo line includes the fo llowing models:
E 115
E210
E4 10
E2 12
OP ERATING INSTRU C TIONS
M echanical and Therm al Issues - During operation, yo ur amp lifier should always be placed
away from sources of moi sture or heat. Care should be taken not to obstruct the ventilation
hol es on the bottom and sides of the unit. In the event of thermal shutdow n, you should
eliminate the cause of the thermal problem (poor ventilation, speaker loads lower than 2 ohms)
immediately. The s upplied rack ears can be used to install yo ur amplifier in a conventional
equipment rack fo r protection during transportation.
Electrical Connectio n - The E amplifier requires at least IO Amps of correctly wired
alternating current for proper operation. Providing less than 10 Amps of power may result in
poor amplifier performance, so it's probably not a good idea to plug all of your band's gear into
a single wall outlet.
,C onnections - All instrument-level input connections (everything but the speakers) should be
made with high quality shielded cables. The use of speaker cables for input connections will
result in excess noise. Speaker connections should be made with high quality I 6 gauge or
heavier unshielded speaker cables. We recommend 10 or 12 gauge cables. The use of shielded
line or instrument cables for speaker connections can damage your amplifier. The speaker cable
should be as short as possible .
IN ITI AL SET U P
As bassists, each of us has in our head a concept of our perfect sound. Eden amplifiers are
designed to help you easily achieve the sound you hear inside you. However, it's a multi-step
process as explained below.
ln order to ensure the ultimate in tone, it's important to follow the procedure outlined below_
Don't skip steps; don't jump around . Yes, th is may take a minute or two, but the work is well
worth it. Once they've done it a few times, most users can do it time and again in about a minute_
lMPORTANT NOT E: Before you plug in your unit for the first time, p lease do the following
things. F irst, turn the power sw itch to the OFF position . Check the back of your unit for the
correct voltage notation for your county of operation.
Once yo u've ensured correct voltage, set the Master Volume control to minimum (fully counterclockwise). Set the tone controls to the center position ( 12:00 or 0) . Turn the Enhance and Edge
controls to the minimum position. Set the Input Gain control to the minimum (fully counterclockwise). Set the Compressor to the OFF position (push the switch IN). This will set your
amplifier flat and with the Compressor di sengaged. Next, plug in the power cord to the AC inlet
on the back of the unit. Use only a safe grounded receptacle for proper operation at the correcfl
voltage for your country.
Double check to make certain your amplifier is set for the correct voltage in your country.
Double check that all connections and switches are correct for your chosen mode of operation.
Turn On - Once you've completed the steps above, you can plug in your bass and turn on the
unit (plug it in first, ok?) and Jet's get started. We recommend turning your system on with the
Master Volume control set to its minimum position. This will prevent any unexpected signal
from being sent to your speakers.
Setting Your Level - Remember, begin w ith the Input Gain , E nhance, Compressor and Master
Volume comp letely OFF - fully counter-clockwise. All EQ should be set flat , that is, at 12:00 -
straight up.
While playing your lowest note (or loudest), slowly turn the Input Gain up until the Set Level
light begins to blink with regularity. If you go past 2 or 3 o'clock, you may engage the Gain
Switch to better match the gain of your instrument to the amp] ifier.
If you have disengaged the Compressor as we SL1ggested, the Set Level light will barely blink on
your loudest notes when you reach clipping in the Input stage . We recommend you decrease
gain one or two clicks to ensure there is no clipping in the system .
Once you have properly set your Input Gain , turn the Master Volume up to a comfortable
listening level and proceed with the rest of the setup process.
Setting the Compressor - If you want to use compression, engage it now by turning theCompressor Defeat switch OFF. The compress or light will now blink when your gain goes.
above the compression threshold. This will general ly show up more on the lower notes, or when
you employ Slapping . (A properly compressed Slap sound is very cool, indeed.) If you want
more compression, increase the Input Gain a little at a time, until you achieve the amount of
compression you desire.
SETTING YOUR EQ
The frequencies that you'll need to boost or cut are dependent upon your instrument, playing
style, speaker cabinets, and venue. Extreme settings of boost or cut are unlikely to be necessary
or helpful. We are frequently asked to provide suggested settings for various styles of play. We
have discovered though, that most of our endorsers tend to set their EQ generally flat , using
vary ing amounts of the Enhance Control to achieve their sound. In fact , a number of our
recording artists tell us that their standard recording set-up is to have the Enhance set at
approximately 9 or 10 O'clock and the tone controls set flat. We encourage you to experiment
with different settings to obtain the sound you desire.
Enhance - Once you've set your gain, you can move on to setting your EQ , beginning with the
Enhance control, or Magic Knob, as some call it. The Enhance circu itry adds very low bass,
upper mids and highs while scooping out a bit oflow middle. The more Enhance effect you dial
in, the greater the boost (and cut). As with all of our EQ controls, a little goes a long way.
Slowly bring the Enhance control up while playing. If you turn it up close to 12 :00 on the dial
and still don't have your sound , stop there. Return the Enhance to OFF or leave it at no more
than 12:00 and work with the EQ section.
Using the EQ Controls - Before you begin to twiddle knobs, let's talk about a few things.
Excessive boosting of one or more EQ frequencies may cause an overload in the EQ section. If
this happens, the EQ Clip light will engage. This is a Very Bad Thing and needs to be corrected
immediately.
If EQ clipping occurs, you can either dec rease the boost or decrease the Input Gain. Remember,
too, that our EQ controls are active, and are meant to turn both ways - not just UP! Thi s means
that you can enhance a certain frequency spectrum either by boosting that frequency or by
cutting the adjacent frequencies. This latter method has the advantage of maximizing potentia l
headroom.
lfpossible; step well forward of your rig to get a better idea of how you will sound in the room ;
You may be surprised at how different you sound once you step away from the speakers.
N OTE: Many players rely on the Enhance Control (and perhaps a little Midrange Massage) to
get their sound. This method leaves the Bass and Treble controls available to dial in to a
particularly di ffic ult room . Just something to keep in mind, ok?
Setting Bass Mid, and Treble - OK, now it's time to set the EQ, beginning with the Bass and
Treble controls. These controls cover a fairly broad frequency spectrum and a littl e goes a Jong
way. Adjust these controls up or down as needed. We suggest playing a few notes in various
areas of the neck so you can hear what your adjustments have done across the fretboard.
Using the Semi-Parametric EQ Controls - Adjusting the Sem i-Parametric control set allows
you to focus in on particular frequencies to achieve your desired tone. We suggest you spend
some time experimenting with these controls to learn more about how they can affect your
sound. Here's an easy way to do that:
Begin with the frequency control fully counterclockwise. Turn the Level control to
approximately 9:00. Now, while playing, rotate the frequency control to the right a little at a
time. You should be able to easily hear the frequencies this first set of controls affects.
Now, cut the Level control to approximately 3:00 and do the same thing.
Here are a couple of tips to help you dial in your desired tone:
For a great fret less tone, dial in a little extra at approximately 550Hz.
For extra grind for Rock and other aggressive music, add a little at l- l .2KHz or 2-2.2KHz .
Remember, though, that a little goes a long way. Don't over boost.
NOTE: Remember that the tone you get when playing alone may not cut through as well as
you'd like when playing with others. You may need to adjust the tone controls to achieve the
same (apparent) tone, especially in the mids and high end.
Edge Control - If you want to add a touch of old-school style grit to your sound, this is the
control for you. This is not a full-shred type of distortion, however. Rather, it is mean to add a
little, well, edge to your sound. This control interacts with the Input Gain; the effect will be
:more noticeable at higher gain settings. At lower gain levels, the effect wi ll be very subtle. We
recommend you spend some time experimenting with this Really Neat Feature.
A FEW TEC HN ICA L THINGS TO REMEMBE R
Clipping= Bad - Keep an eye on the EQ Clip light. If it blinks, either reduce Input Gain or cut
back on one or more EQ ranges. As we said earlier, Clipping in the preamp section is a Very Bad
Thing and is to be avoided at all times. If you find yourself running out of amplifier headroom,
,c ut a little in the lower frequencies, which require the most power from your amp. You'll know
this is happening if you see the Limit light flashing. As long as the light is just blinking, you're
fine. But, if it's on more than it's off, you might want to back off a bit.
Frequency Oddities - Two areas are a frequent source of frustration fo r bassists trying to
achieve their sound: frequency masking and frequency enhancement. Frequency masking
occurs when other instruments (particularly cymbals and electric guitars) obscure th e
important upper harmonic content of your sound. As a result, you find that the EQ settings that
were so perfect at home lack definition in a live setting. On the other hand, the stage settings
that worked so well sound harsh and/or thin in the absence of other instruments.
frequency enhancement results from cabinet placement and room acoustics. A cabinet placed
,o n the floor will have the lower frequencies boosted by about 3 dB. Placement against a wall
adds another 3 dB. A corner adds 3 dB more. Consequently you may find a surprising
boominess to your sound . Certain qualities in the room itself can also enhance the lower
frequencies, further contri buting to this problem. Frequently this effect is more noticeable in
the audience than it is on stage. Compensating for it may result in a stage sound that may seem a
little thin. However the sound is actually quite full out in front.
NOTE: Remember, you can't equal ize out major physical room anomalies. If things sound
really weird where you are, try moving you rig a few feet and see if that helps. This may be
particularly helpful on saggy stages that bounce like a drum head.
YOU'RE DONE. GO PLAY.
There you have it: a quick and easy process to help you get the perfect tone from your Eden
amplifier. As previously mentioned, it make take a few extra minutes the first few times you go
through this, especial ly if you take the time to experiment with all the knobs and switches,
which we highly recommend.
We are confident that the time you spend getting to know your new frie-nd is an important
investment, one that will pay off immeasurably in Great Bass Tone. And, after a ll , that's why
you bought a Eden, right?
M ORE ON SPEAKERS
Break-In Period - We recommend that you use your E combo at low to moderate vo lume
levels for approximately ten hours hemselves and the speaker to break in. This is very similar in
,c oncept to breaking in the engine of a new car. It wil I actually take about 24 to 50 hours of total
playing time to fully break in your speaker system . If desired, you can plug a CD player into
your amplifier and play a CD through your enclosure to accomplish this break-in.
,c onn ections With Additional Cabinets - We des igned the E series combos to provide
maximum power without the need for additional cabinets. That's why the impedance of the
internal speakers is 4 Ohms. In order to protect the amplifier from misuse and abuse, the
extension speaker jack is wired in series, so the amp can't be forced to operate in an unsafe
mode.
What th is means to the user is that, when you connect an additional cabinet to your E combo,
you will not get quite as much power to the speakers. However, because of the added speaker
s urface area, you will still notice an increase in volume - just not quite as much as you might
expect.
Also, keep in mind that simply adding amplifier power will not necessarily increase your
volume significantly. The addition of more speakers will usually have more impact on your
overall volume level and improve your overall presence and tone.
C abin et Place ment - The placement of your cabinet can also have an impact on the amount of
bass it produces. Placing the unit on the floor increases the amount of Bass you get by an
additional + 3dB . With each additional wall surface placement you get another 3 dB increase.
This is due to the reinforcement of bass frequencies by the adjacent surfaces.
The absence of reinforcing surfaces is the reason why outside settings are so problematic for
bass amplification. A system that may be perfectly adequate in a fairly large club can be rather
disappointing on an outdoor stage. If you have plans to perform in such a setting and are not
confident that the P.A. system can provide you with sufficient reinforcement (both out front and
v ia monitors), you should consider using additional equipment to support you r own sound .
O THER CONSIDERATIONS
Headphone Jack as a Line Driver - On some occasions (such as high-volume or outdoor
situations) it may be des irable to use your E combo along with an additional power amplifier
and added cabinets. A standard shielded instrument cable may be used to connect from the
headphone jack of the unit to an unbalanced input of a standard power amplifier. This will
provide a signal that is post-EQ and after the Master Volume control, allowing the entire system
to be controlled from the E. This way, you only have to adjust one set of knobs. This is a Really
Neat Thing, huh?
Using the E Amplifier Without Speakers - This amplifier is designed to be used safely with
headphones only, without the loud speaker plugged in. No harm will result from using the
amplifier in this fashion. This allows the use of the unit for practice with headphones and as a
preamplifier with other ampl ifiers. Neighbors and room mates really love this, which qualifies
it as another Really Neat Thing.
MAINTENANCE
Your Eden amplifier has been designed to require minimal routine maintenance. Attention
to the following areas wi ll ensure optimum performance of your amplifier. We're serious. Don't
blow this off, OK?
Contact Point C lea ning - One of the weakest links in most bass amplification systems are the
solderless connection points where instruments, speaker cabinets, effects, and other devices
are connected to the amplifier. (The most vulnerable of these types of connection is the jack on
your instrument). ln addition to contamination from airborne pollutants, these points are
frequently assaulted by connectors that have picked up debris from dirty stages, cases, etc.
This contamination can result in poor contact as well as poor tone, and we al l know that bad
tone is a Very Bad Thing. These points should be cleaned regularly with a cotton swab soaked in
denatured alcohol or a commercially available de-oxidant. Frequent cleaning of the plugs on
your cords is also recommended.
Dust Removal - You should periodically inspect the ventilation openings on the top and sides
of the unit to ensure that they have not become blocked by accumulated dust. Vacuum the
openings to remove any dust buildup. Dust bunni es are definite ly not cool.
The Magic Smoke - Few people realize just how much magic goes into creating Great Bass Tone.
It isn't something you normally need worry about. Just have fun and leave all that to us .
However - and this is very important - if you ever release the Magic Smoke from your amplifier
this is indeed a Very Bad Thing, perhaps the worst thing you can do. If you see any smoke
(Magic or otherwise) coming out of your amplifier, immediately turn it off and seek the
services of a qualified magician.uhm, we mean.technician. DO NOT continue to use the
amplifier in this condition.
Service - In the event of amplifier malfunction , or questions about your unit's operating
features that aren't answered in this manual or on our website, you should contact your Dealer.
Once you and your dealer have determined it's definitely a malfunction (and not an operator
error) you must call our C ustomer Service Department and obtain a Return Merchandise
Authorization (RM A) . We WTLL NOT accept any gear sent without an RMA , so save the time
and money by calling fi rst, ok?
If you have any problems, please contact your local dealer or distributor, or call USM C ustomer
