Thank you for showing your condence in us by purchasing the V-TONE

BASS BDI21. This high-quality bass driver is designed for bassists

with diverse and wide-ranging needs. The integrated tube emulation

produces the sound and response of a miked bass tube amp while the

2-band EQ (with presence control) and the dedicated drive control

let you create any bass tone you desire, from vintage to modern. In

addition, the BDI21 functions as a standard ultra-transparent direct

injection box when used in bypass mode.

A DI (Direct Injection) box allows you to send a signal directly from an

unbalanced, high-impedance output (like a bass guitar) and connect it

directly to the balanced mic input of a mixing console.

Whether for stage, recording, rehearsal or warm-up, the Behringer

V-TONE BASS BDI21 is a natural choice for those who are seeking great

tone with a simple set-up.

1. Control Elements

(1) The DRIVE control adjusts the overall amount of gain and

overdrive, similar to pushing the output section of a tube amp.

(2) The TREBLE control governs the high-frequency range of the

signal (±12 dB).

(3) The BASS control allows you to boost/cut the low-frequency

range (±12 dB).

(4) The PRESENCE control boosts the upper harmonic content for a

smoother high end and more attack.

(5) The LEVEL control adjusts the output level of the BDI21.

(6) The BLEND control adjusts the amount of tube emulation. The

tube emulation circuitry provides the real tube sound of a miked

bass tube amp.
