• BLEND Knob (Dry/Wet): Mixes the direct (dry) signal with the processed (wet) signal. Fully counter-clockwise is 100% dry, fully clockwise is 100% wet.
• SATURATE Knob: Controls the saturation and compression characteristics of the tone.
• Tombol VOL: Adjusts the overall output volume of the unit.
• F.SW Switch (MUTE/BYPASS): Controls the footswitch function.
  • MATI: Footswitch mutes the output.
  • pintasan: Footswitch toggles between active effect and true bypass.
• CAB Switch (FLAT, MODERN, VINTAGE): Selects the cabinet simulation type.
  • FLAT: No cabinet simulation, providing a raw, direct sound.
  • MODEN: Simulates a modern bass cabinet with full-range response.
  • VINTAGE: Offers a warmer, more colored sound reminiscent of classic bass cabinets.
• Tombol BASS: Adjusts the low-frequency response (EQ).
• LEVEL Knob (Mid EQ): Adjusts the gain/cut of the selected mid-frequency.
• FREQ Knob (Mid EQ): Selects the center frequency for the semi-parametric mid-range EQ.
• HIGHS Knob: Adjusts the high-frequency response (EQ).
• Suis kaki: Engages/disengages the effect or mutes the output, depending on the F.SW setting.

  • PRE/POST Switch: Determines whether the DI output signal is taken before (PRE) or after (POST) the internal effects and EQ.
  • Suis GND/LIFT: Ground lift switch to eliminate hum caused by ground loops.
• KEPADA AMP (1/4" TS): Unbalanced 1/4" TS output for connecting to a bass amplebih hidup.
• FX Insert (1/4" TRS): Stereo 1/4" TRS jack for connecting external effects pedals in a send/return loop. Tip is Send, Ring is Return.

Persediaan

1. Sambungan Kuasa: Connect a 9V DC, 200mA, center negative power adapter (not included) to the "DC 9V" input on the rear panel. Alternatively, the unit can be powered by a 9V battery (located in the compartment on the bottom).
2. Sambungan Instrumen: Plug your bass guitar into the "Bass In" jack on the front panel. If using an active bass with high output, set the "Normal/PAD -12dB" switch to "PAD -12dB".
3. Sambungan Output:

   • Untuk sebuah amplifier: Connect the "TO AMP" jack to your bass ampinput penguat.
   • For a mixing console/audio interface: Connect the "DI Out" XLR to the console/interface. Adjust the "PRE/POST" and "GND/LIFT" switches as needed.
4. Input Bantu: To play along with external audio, connect your audio source (e.g., smartphone) to the "Aux In" jack. The volume of the auxiliary input is controlled by the source device.
5. Gelung Kesan (Pilihan): To integrate external effects, connect a TRS cable from the "FX Insert" jack to your effects pedal(s). The Tip of the TRS cable is the Send, and the Ring is the Return.

Arahan Operasi

The Palmer POCKET AMP BASS offers a range of controls to shape your bass tone. Experiment with the settings to find your desired sound.

Sound Modes and Drive

• Gunakan MODE switch to select between CLEAN, O.DRIVE, and FUZZ.
• Laraskan MEMANDU knob to control the intensity of the overdrive or fuzz effect. Start with lower settings and increase gradually.
• The TEPU knob adds harmonic richness and compression. Higher settings will increase sustain and density.
• The BLEND knob allows you to mix your original clean bass signal with the processed signal. This is particularly useful for retaining low-end clarity when using distortion effects.

Penyamaan (EQ)

• The BASS knob boosts or cuts low frequencies.
• The TINGGI knob boosts or cuts high frequencies.
• The mid-range EQ is semi-parametric:
  • Gunakan FREQ knob to select the specific mid-frequency you wish to adjust.
  • Gunakan TINGKAT knob to boost or cut the selected mid-frequency.

Cabinet Simulation

• The CAB switch allows you to select between three different cabinet simulations:
  • FLAT: Bypasses cabinet simulation.
  • MODEN: Provides a clear, full-range sound typical of modern bass cabinets.
  • VINTAGE: Offers a warmer, more colored sound reminiscent of classic bass cabinets.

Footswitch Functionality

• Tetapkan F.SW switch to either MUTE or BYPASS to define the footswitch's action.
• Press the footswitch to activate the selected function.

Penyelenggaraan

• Bersihkan unit dengan kain lembut dan kering. Jangan gunakan pembersih atau pelarut yang melelas.
• Elakkan mendedahkan unit kepada suhu, kelembapan atau cahaya matahari langsung yang melampau.
• When not in use for extended periods, remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage.
