1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Gain
This control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion.
When the Clean Channel is selected, low settings counter clockwise (CCW), will
deliver a clean sound. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound
will move from clean into break-up, until at its maximum position, a full crunch tone
is arrived at.
When the Overdrive Channel is selected, the Gain control adjusts the amount of
overdrive or distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound
on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased CW the sound will become
more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full
distorted lead tone is arrived at.
3. OD (Overdrive)
Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel. When the switch is in the Overdrive
Channel is selected. When the switch is out the Clean Channel is in operation.
4. Volume
This control allows you to adjust the depth of the EQ curve for the tonal response
you prefer. Fully CCW is fairly at with a slight mid range boost, whereas fully CW
has a denite mid shape with a cut at around 400Hz.This depth of mid range cut
is variable between the two extremes. This is a ‘dual-gang’ control meaning there
are two sections: One controls the depth of the mid cut as described above and
the other gradually adds in an overall gain boost. This means that as the control
is adjusted from CCW to CW, the general nominal signal level remains about the
same.
The user will nd that the combination of the two channels and the EQ will result in
many dierent tones being available.
5. COMP. (Compressor)
This control adjusts the compression ratio of the in-built compressor. With the
control fully CCW the ratio will be 1:1, therefore eectively o. As the control is turned
further to CW then the compression ratio is gradually increased. Compression is
used to subtly smooth out the dynamic range of an audio signal, therefore softening
the peaks and attack.
6. SUB
This is a small control that sets the level of a harmonic generator. This produces
an additional low frequency tone that is mixed in with the normal signal. It gives the
perception of increased low-end girth.
7. VOLUME
This controls the overall volume of all the bass sounds. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume. Users may nd that high settings of the COMP. control require
a slightly higher setting of the VOLUME control to compensate for the eect of the
compression circuit. This is the normal operation for a compressor and is otherwise
known as ‘make-up gain’.
8. MP3 / Line In
Connect the output of your MP3 or CD player here. Adjust the player’s volume to
match that of your guitar to enable you to play along.
Note: the connection is stereo.
9. Speaker Emulated Output & Headphones
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or mixing
desk, and for use with headphones. To make full use of the stereo reverb, use a
stereo jack to two mono jacks splitter lead to feed two channels of the recording
device or mixer (see diagram below). The output will also function into a mono guitar
type lead. Always use a good quality screened lead.
Note: when a lead is connected here the combo’s internal speaker is disconnected.
10. Power
This switch is used to turn the FLY 3 BASS on and o; when using batteries, the FLY
3 BASS’ power light will dim as the power in the batteries runs out.
11. Power Indicator Light
The power indicator will light when the amplier is switched on.
