1. Input Jack: ¼-inch input that is intended for bass guitar but will accept other instruments as well.
2. Volume: Adjust this control to set the desired volume level of the amplier. Note: If you are using an instrument with a
built-in active preamp, set its level to mid-position before increasing its volume or distortion may occur.
3. Bass: This control adjusts the lower frequencies to provide rich, full tones. It will boost or cut by 15 dB at 60 Hz.
4. Mid: This control adds a thick, punchy quality to your tone. It will boost or cut by 15 dB at 500Hz.
5. Treble: Increasing this control will add presence and attack to your bass tone. It will boost or cut by 15 dB at 10 kHz.
6. Aux In: This is a 3-conductor, 1/8-inch, stereo jack that allows playback from a Compact Disc, MP3 player or other
audio device. The overall volume level will be determined by the audio device, so start with lower volume levels and
increase as needed.

KXB10 Suggested Settings
The following suggested settings will help you dial in a variety of popular tones. Keep in mind, these are starting points to
get you up and running with your KXB amplier. Feel free to experiment to achieve your own signature sounds.
TRADITIONAL/VERSATILE TONE
In this setting, the amplier will deliver a traditional, yet versatile, electric bass sound. Whether you are playing Rock,
Country, Blues or Gospel, this setting will get you close. If you play with a pick and want less treble attack on the notes,
decrease the amount of high frequencies using the Treble control. If you need a deeper bottom end, increase the amount
of low frequencies using the Bass control. Adjust the amount of Midrange to best match the tone of your bass guitar and
how it ts into the overall sound.
FUNKY, SLAPPED TONES
This style of music needs a strong attack with lots of treble content. Using less Midrange will produce the extra top end
necessary for this type of music. If you use a “slapping” thumb technique, add a bit more low end and extra volume – or
less if you really hit the strings hard. Even though this is a practice or rehearsal-level amplier, it will deliver the punch
and clarity that you require.
ALTERNATIVE STYLE
These settings are designed for upper-end punch and edge that will cut through most any sound mix. This tone will work
well with pick or ngers. Make sure your bass guitar’s volume control is up all the way. Since you’re adding volume, be
careful with the amount of Bass, Mid and Treble that you dial in, as it can also add some distortion to the sound.
