The ultimate effect is a more transparent sound that opens up the sibilance characteristics of all instruments without being harsh. How the Aural Enhancer works: Think of it as a variable tone control that changes frequency range and level according to where you set the Aural Enhancer control: As you rotate the control clockwise from the Min position, you are elevating low, mid, and high frequency levels in ranges that are different, yet complementary to the Bass and Treble tone controls. The “2 o’clock” position—a favorite for many players— brings out both low end fundamentals and crisp highs, while at the same time, adds a little lower midrange helping you to cut through the band. Then, as you rotate further clockwise, selected mids will drop off—specifically, a group of frequencies centered around 200Hz. While apparent, the Aural Enhancer is gentle compared to the extreme response curves you can create with the EQ tone controls. G. BASS / MID / TREBLE—Three semi-parametric tone controls that allow you to boost or cut signal levels at the frequencies you choose. Select a frequency range center point using the outer knob, then adjust signal level in that range with the inner knob. Mid range adjustment is critical for most instruments and what sounds good will depend on your situation—what sounds harsh while playing alone may sound just right in a crowded room, or on a recording. H. EQ BYPASS—Puts the tone control circuits in or out of the signal path as indicated by the LEDs. I. EfFECTS Blend—Functional only when a plug is inserted into the Effects Return {S} jack, this knob sets your effects level by controlling the amount of "wet" effects loop signal blended into the "dry" preamp signal. J. EfFECTS BYPASS—Takes the effects loop circuit out of the signal path as indicated by the LED. K. COMPRESSION—Adjusts the level of signal compression. Rotate fully counterclockwise for no compression and rotate clockwise to increase the ratio of compression. The brightness of the LED indicates the active amount of compression moderating peak signal levels. L. Master Volume—Use to set the loudness output from the speakers after all other levels are set, including any external effects levels. M. MUTE—Disables all unit outputs except the Tuner {T}, Headphones {R} and Effects Send {S} jacks. Useful when tuning your instrument and for quiet sessions. The LED illuminates when Mute is active. N. POWER SWITCH—Switches the unit ON-OFF as indicated by the LED. Rear Panel O. IEC POWER CORD SOCKET—Connect the included power cord to a grounded AC electrical outlet in accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings specified on the rear panel of your amplifier. P. SPEAKER OUTPUT—Speakon® connector for an external speaker cabinet. The speaker load must be 4 ohms minimum and rated for 160 Watts minimum. Read the Speaker Guidelines on the next page before using this jack. NOTE: Speaker Output will not operate with Internal Speaker switch in the “On” position. Q. INTERNAL SPEAKER—Select "On" to use the 10" internal speaker or "Off" to use the Speakon® connector {P}. R. HEADPHONES—Plug your headphones in here. Use Mute {M} to disable output to the speakers. S. Effects SEND / RETURN*—Connect Send to the input on your effects device and connect Return to the effects output. NOTE: Set any "wet/dry" control on your effects to the fully WET position to prevent phasing problems, and set any effects input level as close to 0dB as possible. The Effects Send output signal includes onboard tone shaping and the output level is primarily controlled by the Gain {C} knob. Effects Return provides a line level input that can be blended in any ratio with the onboard preamp signal using the Effects Blend {I} knob. The Effects Loop circuit is on a “side chain” of the main circuit (as in studio recording consoles) to provide the full sound of your instrument and the diversity of your effects units. This also reduces noise from effects units by being located after gain in the signal path. T. Tuner OUTPUT*—Plug your instrument tuner in here. Use Mute {M} to disable audio output while using your tuner. U. Balanced LINE Outputs*—True electronically balanced outputs, suitable for studio and “front-of-house” (live) mixing consoles. V. XLR GROUND LIFT— Disconnects the ground connection (pin-1) from the XLR jack to reduce ground loop noise generated from non-standard wiring. Leave this switch out, normally. W. PAD— Adjusts the output level of the Balanced Outputs {U} to accommodate a variety of sound equipment connections and input sensitivities. X. DIRECT / LINE— Selects the signal source for the Balanced Outputs {U}. Direct is a true all-tube signal path taken immediately after the first tube preamp stage. Line includes all gain, tone, compression and effects circuits. Y. HORN LEVEL—Adjusts the volume level of the high-frequency horn. NOTE: See Spellbinder Blue block diagram on page 35. * NOTE: The rear panel 1/4" jacks {R, S and T} are balanced TRS (Tip/Ring/S...
