Boss BX-8 - Overload Indicators; Gain Knobs; Treble and Bass Knobs; Effect Send;Return Controls

@ Overload Indicators
This
lights
up
when
the
input
signal
level
of
each
channel
is
too
high.
If
this
lights,
rotate
the
relevant
Gain
Knob
counterclockwise
to
decrease
the
input
sensitivity. .
* The Overload Indicators light up when the level of
the
signal
is
6dB
lower
than
the
clipping
level
(=the
level where the sound starts being distorted).
@ Gain Knobs
The
Gain
Knobs
of
each
channel
adjusts
the
input
gain
for
mixing
the
signal
with
the
lowest
possible
noise
and
distortion.
Clockwise
rotation
raises
the
gain
(=increasing
the
volume).
© Treble Knobs
This
controls
treble
sounds.
Rotating
this
clockwise
will
boost
higher
frequencies
and
counterclockwise
cut
them.
@ Bass Knob
This
knob
controls
bass
sounds.
Rotating
this
clockwise
will
boost
lower
frequencies
and
counterclockwise
cut
them.
@ Effect | Send Knobs
These
knobs
control
the
level
of
the
signals
to
be
sent
to
the
Effect
1
Send
Jack.
Clockwise
rotation
increases
the
level.
For
instance,
when
a
reverb
unit
is
connected
to the Effect 1 Send/Return Jacks, rotating this knob
clockwise will deepen the reverb effect.
* The output from the Effect 1 Send is post fader,
and therefore changes depending on the positions
of the Gain, Treble, Bass and Channel Fader Knobs.
@ Effect 2 Send Knobs
These knobs control the level of the signals to be sent
to the Effect 2 Send Jack. Clockwise rotation increases
the level. For instance, when a reverb unit is connected
to the Effect 2 Send/Return Jacks, rotating this knob
clockwise will deepen the reverb effect.
* The output from the Effect 2 Send is post fader,
and therefore changes depending on the positions
of the Gain, Treble, Bass and Channel Fader Knobs.
@ Panpot Knobs
Each Panpot Knob routes the input signal from an
input
Channel
to
the
left
and/or
right
mixing
busses.
By means of the Panpot Knobs, input signals can be
sent exclusively to one mixing bus, or the other, to
both mixing busses equally or since the Panpot Knob
is Continuously variable to both mixing busses in any
relative proportion desired.
© Channel Faders
This adjusts the level of the signal sent from each
channel. Raising the slider will increase the level, and
lowering it will decrease. 7 to 8 position may be ideal
for the lowest noise and distortion.
