0 dB INPUT: This Input jack is recommended for the signal from a passive instrument through a shielded instrument cable.
-15 dB INPUT: This Input jack is recommended for the signal from an active instrument, or one with high output pickups, through a shielded instrument cable.
GAIN: This control adjusts the basic level of signal in the preamp.
ULTRA HI: This switch, when engaged, enhances the amount of high frequency output by 9 dB at 8 kHz.
ULTRA LO: This switch, when engaged, enhances the amount of low-end output by 2 dB at 40 Hz, and 10 dB cut, at 500 Hz.
BASS: Use to adjust the low frequency level of the amplifier. This provides up to 12 dB of boost, or 12 dB of cut, at 40 Hz. The low frequency output is flat at the center position.
MIDRANGE: Use to adjust the midrange frequency level of the amplifier. This provides up to 10 dB of boost, or 20 dB of cut, at the selected frequency [8]. The midrange frequency output is flat at the center position. Rotate the control counter-clockwise for a “contoured” sound (more distant, less midrange output), or clockwise for a sound that really cuts through.
FREQUENCY: This control allows you to select the center frequency for the Midrange control, giving you a choice of five frequencies for the midrange. The numbers correspond to the following center frequencies: 1=220 Hz, 2=450 Hz, 3=800 Hz, 4=1.6 kHz, and 5=3 kHz.
TREBLE: Use to adjust the high frequency level of the amplifier. This provides up to 15 dB of boost, or 20 dB of cut, at 4 kHz. The high frequency output is flat at the center position.
MASTER: Use to control the overall output level. It affects the Speaker Outputs and the Preamp Output. Use it wisely and turn it down when making connections or trying something new.
STANDBY/POWER/FAULT INDICATOR LED: This is a multi-function LED. In Standby mode it glows red. In the On mode (when the high voltage comes on) it glows green. If it does not turn green in the On mode, this indicates there is no high voltage present, and the unit needs servicing. If the amp detects a fault in the power tube circuit, the high voltage is turned off and the LED flashes between red and green. This usually indicates a bad power tube. The amp will remain in this condition until the unit is turned off.
Ampeg were the first company to specialize solely in the manufacture of bass amplifiers and have been building bass amps for over 70 years. The name Ampeg comes from their heritage; the first product they ever produced was a double bass pickup that was essentially a peg you put on your double bass to amplify it, ergo; Amp-Peg.
