7) Try pushing in the Shape switch. You will in-
stantly get mid-scooped sound. This sound
enables slapping and popping bass styles.

8) The SWX100 and SWX65 models have a Tweeter switch function. Turning it on
or off will add or decrease the high-end brightness and attack of your bass
strings.
Tips for using Master and Level controls (SWX100/65/35)
When the Level control is at a lower setting, the preamp will be cleaner and less
compressed. If you continue to raise the Level control, the signal will get more
compressed. The Master is a post- auto-compression circuit, while the Level con-
trol is a pre-auto-compression circuitry. The Level simultaneously controls the
compression threshold as it changes volume. The Master controls preamp output
level to the power amp. Turning up the Level, EQ or Master controls together may
distort your bass sound. (This also depends on your bass guitar output level and
your style of playing.)
When you see the Auto-Comp LED flashing, the auto-compression circuitry is
strongly compressing the preamp signal to keep your sound un-distorted and the
level flat.

10. Caster
This is a pop-in caster designed to fit tightly into the Caster Receiver to avoid
buzz and noise. Some effort may be required to insert or remove.

12. Tilt-up Bar
This flip-flop bar enables tilting of the cabinet face.
13. Input Jack
1/4" phone jack input.
14. Bright Switch
This enhances brightness of the input signal when it is pushed in.
15. Shape Switch
This enhances bottom and high-end by scooping mid-range frequencies when
it is engaged.
16. Auto-Comp
SWX's pre-amplifier signal level is controlled by the Auto-Compression circuit.
The SWX35, 65 and 100 are equipped with a LED which flashes blue. When a
signal from pre-amp is high, the limiter circuit compress the signal and is indi-
cated by the flashing blue LED. Though SWX20 does not have the LED, it is
equipped with this circuitry as well.
17. Level Control
This controls the level of the pre-amp. Hint: Balancing Level and Master controls
can create many different sound and tone textures. EQ, Bright switch and
Shape switch will also affect the amp volume level. Adjust the level using this
control.
