8 BASS BOOST
This switch, when engaged (the push button switch illu-
minates), boosts the very low frequencies around 30 Hz
by 12 dB. This adds a solid ground to the sound similar
to a valve amp.
9 LO
This is the primary low frequency control. It allows for
cutting or boosting the frequency range around 70 Hz
by 15 dB each. This frequency range represents the bot-
tom end and massive yet distinguished punch in a bass
guitar. Start from the 12 o’clock position and dial in the
sound you like.
10 LO MID
The »LoMID« control is centred at 250 Hz and offers a
cut or boost of 12 dB. The slope of this control is not as
steep as the one of the »LO« control (#9). This frequency
range, when turned up, determines the body of the bass
guitar signal and lets the bass be heard in a mix. Turn it
counter clockwise to reduce unwanted room resonance..
11 HI MID
The “HiMID« control is centred at 800 Hz and offers a cut
or boost of 12 dB, again with a more gentle slope just
like the »LoMID« control (#10). Due to the broader ranges
which are covered by these controls the sound never gets
booming or honky when you turn them all the way up.
Turning up the »HiMID« control gives you a great fretless
sound. On the other hand, when you cut the »HiMID« ran-
ge you end up with a funky slap sound of extremely high
quality.
12 HI
The »HI« control is centred at 5 kHz and offers a cut or
boost of 15 dB. Turn it up for a biting, crystal clear rock
or funk bass. Turn it counter clockwise to reduce hiss or
generally dampen the sound for a muted reggae feel.
13 HI BOOST
Depress this switch and engage a boost of 12 dB at 10
kHz. (the push button switch illuminates). This is your
switch if your strings are dead or if you are into a more
HiFi-like bass sound with silky top end.
14 LINE/EFFECT MIX
Signals connected to the »LINE IN / EFFECTS LOOP RE-
TURN« jack (#29b) and the »AUX IN« (#28) can be added
to the dry bass guitar signal according to your likings with
this »LINE/EFFECTS MIX« control.
The parallel »EFFECTS LOOP« (#29) is designed for the
connection of one or more effects devices. The »RETURN/
LINE IN« jack (#29b) can also be used to connect various
external audio sources to the T 1000 such as an MP3 play-
er, a second bass guitar, or in order to just use the power
amp of the T 1000.
The »LINE / EFFECTS MIX« is a balance control adjusting
the level of the effects sound as compared to the dry
sound of the T 1000 preamp. With the »EFFECTS MIX«
control all the way to the left the signal of the external
device, i.e. of the »RETURN/LINE IN« jack (#29b), is off. All
you hear is the dry bass signal. Turning it up a little will add
some effects to your sound. In this position (to the left of
the knob’s centre position) the effects sound is processed
in parallel with the unaffected or dry signal which enables
you to preserve the integrity of the premium tone and feel
the T 1000 is capable of delivering.
The more you turn the control clockwise, the more pro-
minent will the »RETURN« signal become (i.e. the effect)
while at the same time the dry signal will decrease. When
the »LINE / EFFECTS MIX« control is turned all the way up
to »10« the »EFFECTS LOOP« effectively becomes a serial
loop. Now the internal signal path is interrupted (rather
than just tapped), sent out to the external device(s) where
it gets processed (added with effects, modulated, modi-
fied, whatever) and returned to the amplifier as a whole.
15 MASTER
This is the overall volume control of the T 1000 and
works on the two internal power amp sections. It deter-
mines the level at the »SPEAKER OUTPUTS« (#24 - #26)
as well as the »LINE OUT« jack (#30).
Note: Each power amp features its individual »VOLUME«
control on the back panel (#25a and #26a). Do make sure
that they are turned up accordingly.
