instruction Manual

1.1 SET UP

To get started fast, first pay attention to unpacking and inspection covered in section 2.3. Then, follow the

wiring diagram for an in-line application shown below. If you need to run the Model 204 with an insert patch

instead, refer to section 5 for more information. Finally, refer to the control settings below to get your Model

204 sounding great. Don’t neglect to later run through this manual, however, as there is a wealth of useful

information here for you.

Indicator Legend

BIG BOTTOM DRIVE CONTROL & INDICATOR

Turn clockwise until the green LED flashes

brightly on bass peaks and fades out. This cor-

responds approximately to the amount of extra

bass sustain you are creating. If the LED doesn’t

flash when you reach 2 o’clock, then check the

Operating Level Switches.

BIG BOTTOM TUNE CONTROL

Sets the bass frequency range of the effect. Go

clockwise to encompass higher bass frequen-

cies, and counterclockwise to focus more on

the lower bass sounds.

BIG BOTTOM MIX CONTROL

Adjusts the amount of bass enhancement being

added into the original sound. The higher the

setting the more dramatic the effect. Avoid

using any more Mix than necessary or excessive

peak levels will arise.

Suggested Control Settings

Start with the knobs pointing as shown. Then experiment with the differ-

ent settings. When testing the effect of Big Bottom, turn off the Aural

Exciter Mix. Likewise, turn off the Big Bottom Mix when testing the effects

of the Aural Exciter. When you feel you have them both set up nicely, turn

up both mixes and A/B with the IN/OUT buttons.
