(1) ACTIVE/PASSIVE PICKUP Inputs
ese 1/4" inputs are included so you can choose the appropriate setting for your instrument. e gain structure of the amplier is
modied to accommodate the outputs of dierent pickup congurations. e PASSIVE input is 10dB hotter than the ACTIVE input.
(2) GAIN
is knob controls input level to the preamp.
(3) OVERDRIVE
is crunch circuit is designed so that the volume of the amp will not change when the boost is switched on, but the distortion level
will increase depending on the level of the GAIN knob. For best results, rst set the distortion amount by adjusting the GAIN. Next,
set the desired volume using the VOLUME knob. At this point, the clean volume will match if the Overdrive is turned o.
(4) BASS
is knob provides a shelving tone control for low frequencies and provides cut/boost of +/-15 dB. e center point is at. e center
frequency is 50 Hz. -3 dB shelf corner frequency is 100Hz.
(5) CONTOUR
is button boosts highs and lows while simultaneously cutting mid tones, producing a "scooped" sound.
(6) MIDDLE
is knob provides a peaking tone control for Mid frequencies and cut/boost of +/-15dB. e center point is at.
(7) MID SHIFT
is switch controls the center frequency of the MIDDLE knob. When the switch is OUT, the middle frequency is 600Hz. e middle
frequency is 250Hz when the switch is pushed IN.
(8) TREBLE
is knob provides a shelving tone control for high frequencies and cut/boost of +/-15dB. e center point is at and the frequency is
6 KHz. -3dB; the shelf corner frequency is 4 KHz.
(9) BRIGHT SWITCH
is button provides a 10 dB boost to frequencies above 1KHz. To activate, depress the switch to its “IN” position.
(10) VOLUME
is knob controls the overall volume of the amplier.
(11) KOSMOS-C Subharmonic Generator
is Kosmos-C Low enhancement works by creating harmonics of signals in the bottom octave, where speakers are usually ineec-
tive. e harmonics are more easily reproduced, resulting in a perception of stronger bass. e eect is source dependent; obviously a
source with little energy in the bottom octave will not create booming bass.
(12) CHROMATIC TUNER (Not on Max 208)
Pressing the TUNE/MUTE button (13) will engage the chromatic tuner while muting the output to the speaker. e LED screen will
indicate which note is being played while the red and green LEDs above the screen indicate whether the note is at (red), sharp
(red) or in tune (green).
