This amp type enables clear reproduction of your instrument’s sound. This also makes it perfect when connecting bass modeling processors or using sound modules like bass synth. In addition, you can exploit the equalizer’s capabilities to create the perfect bass sound for any musical genre from rock to jazz When POLY OCTAVE is turned on, the entire range of sound, from bass to treble, will become much more robust. SLAP BASS (SESSION) This setting cuts the midrange for a great slap bass sound. Setting the SHAPE switch to ON further boosts the low and high ends. To get a crisp slap sound, lower the MIDDLE setting and raise the TREBLE. This emphasizes the brightness of the string sound, resulting in a slap sound with a lighter pull sound. By applying COMP, you can greatly enhance the clarity of the sound. To get that attacking sound used in rock music, raise the BASS and MIDDLE settings to produce a sound with greater power. FINGER & FRETLESS (BASS 360) This bass sound made its appearance in the ’70s. This is suited for a Jazz Bass with a rear pickup used. This produces a warm, contoured sound when the bass is fingered near the rear pickup. In addition, using this setting while playing harmonics in combination with a chorus and a delay enables sounds featuring exquisite reverberation. ROCK RIFF (CONCERT 810) This is a fat, powerful standard bass sound. Raise the MIDDLE setting to produce a clear picking sound when the bass is picked. If you want a fatter low end, set the SHAPE switch to ON. Raising the DRIVE results in an even fatter distortion sound.
