■ Bass preamplifier / D.I.
■ Equipped with optical compressor and overdrive
■ Control
・ Sustain
The internal optical compressor is in the first stage of the circuit and is always on. The effect of the compressor is minimized when the Sustain knob is turned down, and the input signal is compressed as the knob is raised, resulting in rich sustain.
・ Drive & voice
By adding deep distortion from slight distortion, it gives the sound a gloss and edge. With the voice switch, you can select the high-end, middle-range, or low-end band that enhances the drive.
・ Level
The drive control is equipped with a separate level knob that boosts or cuts the drive signal.
・ Blend
Use the blend knob to blend the clean signal with the drive signal. The clean signal and drive signal operate in parallel, so you can blend the clean signal and drive signal for greater intelligibility.
・ Shaping and EQ

Supports all genres of music with a wealth of EQ options. In addition to the 4-band EQ (low / low mid / high mid / high), you can use the "LMF (Low Mid Frequency)" and "HMF (High Mid Frequency)" knobs to adjust the center frequencies of low mid and high mid. increase. LMF can be adjusted from 500 Hz to 2.4 kHz, and HMF can be adjusted from 3.5 kHz to 7.5 kHz.
