And offers the best sound-shaping controls such as: 3-band EQ with middle-frequency selection, drive with blend control, speaker cabinet simulation (Impulse Response loader) and built-in noise reduction with Decay and Threshold controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCloser Look\u003cbr\u003eMLD signature Bass Preamp + DI features fully sweepable mid-range frequencies in addition to Bass and Treble controls. Melvin L.

Ideal for fine-tuning the output on clean tone, it also controls the DI output volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlend Knob\u003cbr\u003eAdjusts to blend between the clean signal and overdrive signal. The clean signal remains as unity gain, allowing for fine control of the blend ration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrive Knob\u003cbr\u003eAdjusts the Gain level and sets the saturation level in the overdriven signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-Band Equalizer with Middle Frequency Selector\u003cbr\u003eBass: +\/- 12dB @40Hz\u003cbr\u003eMiddle: +\/- 17dB @160Hz to 1000Hz\u003cbr\u003eFreq.: 160Hz ~ 1000Hz\u003cbr\u003eTreble: +\/- 12dB @8000Hz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDI Output\u003cbr\u003eBalanced XLR Output carrying the mic-level output signal, either affected or unaffected depending on the Pre-Post switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGND LFT (Ground \/ Lift) Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003eDisconnects the signal ground on the DI out to break any ground loops. Toggle the switch to the LESS noisy position; it can be either GND or LFT depending on the room, stage or studio condition. Switch does not effect the 1\/4-inch (6.5mm) output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImpulse Response (IR) Toggle Switches\u003cbr\u003eYou can activate\/deactivate the IR cabinet simulation for both DI out and 1\/4-inch (6.5mm) out separately. Use the appropriate IR toggle switch to turn ON\/OFF the emulation for the output you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInput\/Output and USB Connections\u003cbr\u003eMain OUT and Through\u003cbr\u003eYou can use the main \"OUT\" and \"THROUGH\" output to get the dry signal for bass amplifier connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you activate the \"OUT IR\" cabinet simulation, you can connect the pedal to any FRFR speaker, directly to a mixer or audio interface. \"THROUGH\" output will remain bypassed either the \"OUT IR\" is activated or deactivated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDI Out, Auxiliary Input and Headphone Output\u003cbr\u003eOn the LEFT SIDE of the PEDAL, you can access the XLR output for a mixer and\/or audio interface connection, and you have the option of activating the IR cabinet simulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a 1\/8-inch (3.5mm) auxiliary input to connect a music player, and headphones output for silent practicing or monitoring (please check the USB connection).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeadphone output is related to DI out, when you activate the DI IR simulation, headphones output will be simulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNUX Bass Preamp + DI Software\u003cbr\u003eYou can connect the pedal to your Windows \/ MAC computer to use the editor software.
