Introduction Congratulations! Y ou are now the proud owner of the Bass30 complete Bass Guitar system. The Bass30 is an extremely powerful tool capable of producing virtually any sound that you can imagine.
SECTION ONE - Overview A Guided T our of the Bass30 Front P anel 1. Preset Footswitches - These switches provide access to the Bass30 user presets. They are also used to bypass the Bass30, access the T uner , and perform various functions for the Phrase Sampler .
3. Effect Matrix - These columns and buttons are used to select, bypass, and edit each specific effect group. The effects which are currently active within a preset are indicated by a lit LED. The button at the bottom of each column will select the effect group within the indicated column.
is pressed, the display will either show two dashes -- indicating that the Bi-Amp function is bypassed, or the currently selected crossover frequency if the Bi-Amp function is active. Rotate the Data Wheel to select the crossover frequency , or change the Bi-Amp status.
R ear Panel A. Input Jack - Connect your instrument to this jack. B. Jam-A-longª - This is used for playing along with your tapes and CD’ s. Use a stereo cable with 1/8'' stereo plugs to connect the headphone output of your tape or CD player to this jack.
Getting Started The Bass30 is ready for you to plug in and play . It already has a variety of sounds programmed into both the 30 factory and 30 user Presets. Y ou will find that the User Presets are exact duplicates of the Factory Presets. The Factory Presets are permanently written into the Bass30 and cannot be changed.
1. Connect your instrument to the Bass30 input jack. 2a. (mono) Connect the left output to the input of your amplifier , or line input of a mixing console. 2b. (stereo) Connect the left and right outputs to the inputs of two amplifiers, or two line inputs of a mixing console.
SECTION TWO - About the Bass30 Performance Mode The Performance Mode of the Bass30 enables you to use the numbered footswitches or Data Wheel to change from one Preset to another , the Bank Footswitches to change Banks, and the Expression Pedal to vary the amount of the assigned Parameter .
Footswitches The footswitches are also used to select Presets. The Bank Up and Bank Down footswitches advance or reverse Banks, and the 1-3 numbered footswitches select the Preset within the active Bank. Successive presses of the Bank Up or Down switches will advance or decrease to the next Bank of Presets.
Accessing the T uner The Bass30 includes a chromatic T uner to quickly get your instrument in tune. T o access the T uner , press and hold the currently active Preset’ s Footswitch (the footswitch with a lit LED above it) until the letters tn appear in the display (abbreviation for tuner).
Jam-A-Longª The Jam-A-Long™ feature lets you connect a tape or CD player to the Bass30 and mix the music with your bass signal. Connect from the headphone output of your tape or CD player to the Jam-A-Long™ input on the rear panel of the Bass30 using a 1/8” stereo cable.
SECTION THREE - Edit Mode Editing a Preset The Bass30 allows you to edit the User Presets to your liking. Y ou can change the effects that are used in the Preset, alter the values of the effect Parameters, or bypass an effect. This is a very simple process and gives you the ability to create custom sounds to suit your application or taste.
1. Comp/Wah - This button will access the Compressor/Limiter and W ah effects. Successive presses of this button will toggle between the Compressor/Limiter and the Wah. The selected effect is indicated by the flashing LED. The status of the selected effect can then be changed by rotating the Data Wheel.
5. Effect - This button will access the Modulation and Pitch shifting effects. The currently selected effect in this group is indicated by a flashing LED. Successive presses of the Effect button will select a different type of effect within this group.
8. Bi-Amp - This button provides access to the Crossover frequency for Bi-amp Applications. The Crossover frequency can then be selected by rotating the Data Wheel. See page 25 for more information on Bi-Amping 9. Store - This button is used to save changes to Presets.
Once the desired effect or Parameter has been selected, you can set minimum and maximum values for the Expression Pedal. These are stop points which limit the range of variance for the Pedal. 3. - Press the Expression button a second time to set the toe up value.
Storing/Copying a Preset Once you have edited a Preset to your liking, you must store the changes in order for the Bass30 to remember your settings. There are three steps to storing a Preset. 1. Press the Store button once. The Store LED will flash and the User LED lights.
SECTION FOUR - Effects Definitions Compressor/Limiter - A compressor is used to constrain the dynamics of an instrument. In other words, it sets a boundary for the volume the instrument will be able to reach. Compressing the dynamics of an instrument tends to provide a smooth, balanced output level of the instrument.
Fretless - The Fretless bass simulations in the Bass30 shape the attack of your instrument by combining an auto swell on the high frequencies, a subtle wah on the mid range, with detailed equalization.
Noise Gate - A Noise Gate keeps unwanted noise from being heard when you are not playing. When the gate is closed, it will not allow ambient noise to come through.
Pitch - When Pitch/Bend is selected, the display will show one of three different types of Pitch Shifting which are selectable by rotating the Data Wheel. The types include: Pt (Pitch Shift), bn (Pitch Bend), and bE (Bass Enhancer). Pitch shifting makes a copy of your signal, then shifts it to a different pitch.
Phrase Sampler - The Phrase Sampler will allow you to record up to a 6 second phrase, overdub over the phrase, and then repeat them indefinitely . Operation of the Phrase Sampler is accomplished by using the Preset Footswitches and the Expression Pedal.
R everb - Reverb simulates different acoustic environments. Reverb can make you sound as though you are playing in a big empty room, or a small tiled bathroom. It adds ambiance to your instrument by mimicking the characteristics of sound bouncing off walls.
Gain - The Compressor Gain adjusts the output volume from the compressor . This parameter is used to balance the volume levels which may be lessened due to the compression effect. Gain ranges from 0 (no gain change) to 15 (15 dB of boost) in 1 dB increments.
Level - The Level will adjust the overall strength of effects in the Preset. The Level ranges from 0 to 99 . Bi-Amp - Bi-Amping is a term used to describe the process of using a two way crossover to a.
SECTION FIVE - T utorial Creating a Preset Suppose you want to create a Preset that has medium Compression, Classic Amp Modeling with Medium Gain and boosted highs and lows on the EQ, a low Threshold setting on the Noise Gate, a slow medium Chorus, no Delay , and a Hall Reverb.
Step 2. Select the W ah Type - Since the Wah effect is in the Comp/W ah section, press the Comp/Wah button again. The LED next to Wah will begin to flash. Rotate the Data Wheel until the Display shows the number 1 (representing a classic wah). Step 3.
Rotate the Data Wheel until the Display shows 0 . Press the T one/Gate button again and the LED next to Low Mid flashes. Rotate the Data Wheel until the Display shows 0 .Press the T one/Gate button again and the Bass LED will flash. Rotate the Data Wheel until the Display shows 6 .
Step 7 T urn the Delay off - Our Sample Preset called for no Delay to be used. So, press the Delay/Rev button and the LED next to Delay will flash. Rotate the Data Wheel counterclockwise until the Display shows two dashes -- indicating that Delay is bypassed.
SECTION SIX - Other Stuff R esetting the Bass30 This function restores all Presets to their original settings from the factory . Caution! This procedure will overwrite and reset ALL User Presets in the Bass30 memory . Be sure you want to erase the memory and start fresh before continuing with this procedure.
Calibrating the Expression Pedal If the Expression Pedal ever has problems with controlling parameters through their full range, it may be necessary to re-calibrate it. Follow these steps for Expression Pedal calibration: 1. Disconnect the power from the Bass30.
