Instrument Input
1/4" input jack-- plug instrument cable into this jack.
Gain Control
is knob controls input sensitivity of the preamp, whereas the Volume knob controls the output level of the
preamp.
Optical Compression Control
is knob controls the level of compression of the instrument signal (i.e. the farther right you turn the knob, the
less dynamic range you will have between your loudest and quietest notes). See Hints section for more info.
Low EQ
is detented 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 40 Hz. -3 dB shelf corner frequency is 80Hz.
Low Mid Filter
e LO MID lter provides +/-15 dB of boost/cut to frequency centers between 200 – 800 Hz. In general, this
lter will be most useful in adjusting the overall tone of your bass and also how you sit in the mix. For example, if
you want a smooth vintage bass tone, try setting the frequency ring to about 250Hz, and apply a little bit of cut us-
ing the lter gain knob. On the other hand, if you want an aggressive rock tone, try setting the frequency ring to
800Hz and then apply a little bit of boost to the lter gain knob. If you need more “cut” through a mix, try setting
the frequency ring to 400 Hz and apply boost.
High Mid Filter
e HI MID lter provides +/-15 dB of boost/cut to frequency centers between 800 Hz – 3.2 KHz. In general, this
lter will be most useful in adjusting the overall “character” of the bass tone. Examples include, accentuating pick
or slap/pop attack, increasing/decreasing string/fret noise, and dialing in the tone of played harmonics.
High EQ
is knob provides a shelving tone control for high frequencies and cut/boost of +/-15dB. e center point is at
and the frequency is 8 KHz. -3dB; the shelf corner frequency is 5 KHz.
Kosmos
One of the exciting features of the miniMEGA™ is the inclusion of Peavey's patented KOSMOS® bass enhancement
technology. The miniMEGA has two separate Kosmos processors combinded into one, giving you maximum bass
performance from an array of large and small speaker cabinets. The Kosmos controls are stacked concentrically
with Kosmos A controlled by outer wheel and Kosmos C by the inner knob. For a detailed description of the ap-
plications of the Kosmos Bass Enchancement feature, see the Hints section of this manual.
