Note: The balanced outputs offers
high-quality ’line box’ signals for
connecting to PA mixing consoles or
to studio or broadcast recording units,
with high noise immunity. The output
level controlled by the MASTER knob
does not affect these outputs.
------------
POST BAL OUT. Post EQ signal that is
taken immediately before the Master
knob (serve as the
Left channel
output
when using FX Return in ’stereo mode’).
PRE/POST BAL OUT. This output send
various signals depending on which
mode is selected:
1) When the switch is in its’ outer
position the signal is taken before (PRE)
any of the pedals the EQ.
2) When the switch is engaged this
output normally serves as post
Clean
channel EQ only
-output. However, if
the ’stereo mode’ for the FX return is
activated at the same time, it will serve
as the
Right channel
output, post EQ.
GND LIFT. Eliminates ground noise
and hum. When required, press the
Gnd Lift switch to disconnect the
ground from the balanced outputs.
FX SEND & RETURN. EBS MicroBass3 is provided with an effects loop for
use with external units such as box or rack effects. The loop puts the external
effects after both channels EQs and the channel selector (Drive footswitch).
STEREO MODE ON/OFF. By pushing this switch the return jack goes into
TRS operation for stereo mode. When active, the Balanced Outputs will turn
into Left and Right outputs rather than post/pre. The stereo effect will also be
heard through the headphones output. For the stereo effect, use an external
effect with stereo output last in line, and connect to the FX return using a
Y-split cable, such as the EBS ICY-30.
OUTPUT. This is the master output jack to be connected to another amp or
power amplifier.
DRIVE INPUT. This input is a direct input to the Drive channel in parallel
mode and can be used to mix two sources, e.g. between two pickups on an
instrument where applicable. Note: In conjunction with the
Blend
knob at
max, and by choosing the
LO
gain engine (and modest or minimum
Drive
setting) it can serve as an input for a second instrument. Then you will
use the drive channel to tweak the EQ individually for that instrument (not
necessarily using any overdrive).
SERIAL ON/OFF. This switch controls from where the Drive channel should
take its’ signal. In default mode, parallel, the source is taken from the main
input or the Drive Input when used. In serial mode, the source is taken from
the output of the Clean channel, so the channels are connected in serial.
INPUT - The main input is a low noise, high impedance instrument input.
AUX IN. Auxiliary input to be
monitored only with headphones.
This input has no level control and
the volume should be adjusted by
the source.
PHONES. Connect your
headphones here for silent
practicing. The volume from the
MB3 is controlled by the MASTER
knob where the Aux In needs to be
adjusted from the signal source.
DC INPUT. Connect the power
supply here, only 9V DC, 1000 mA
(supplied in package).
