Quick Start
1. Connection
1) Carefully read “Important Safety
Instructions” before you place
the amp in the location where
you’ll be using it. Then use the
included power cable to connect
the rear panel AC inlet to an AC
outlet of the correct voltage for
your unit.
Fig. 1
2) Please note that the sound, and the low frequency response in particular, will
be affected by the location in which you place the amp.
3) Connect your electric bass gui
-
tar. Use a shielded guitar cable
to make connections.
Fig. 2
4) If you are using a compact ef
-
fects processor, use a shielded
cable to connect it between your
bass guitar and the amplifier.
Fig. 3
5) Make sure that each Volume
control is set to “0”, and then
turn on the Power switch, the
power LED will light.
Fig. 4
2. Using the controls
1) Raise the volume control of your bass guitar.
Fig. 5
2) Raise the Level control to approximately 11 o’clock and set
EQ and HUE controls at 12 o’clock.
Fig. 6
3) Raise the Master volume to somewhere between 7 and 12
o’clock.
Fig. 7
4) You can choose bright or normal mode by switching the Bright switch. Set the
Bright switch off for now.
5) Try using the Hue control. This is a passive tone control. When you turn it to the
left, the sound becomes warmer and fatter with a more pronounced bottom
end. If you turn it to the right, it becomes clearer, brighter and more transpar
-
ent. You can determine the overall color of your sound by using this control
without experiencing distortion problems that an active EQ might cause.
6) Using the 3-band equalizer: Try the settings shown in the illustration. When
you turn up the EQ, the output volume level will rise. If you don’t want distor
-
tion as a result, turn down the Level or Master control accordingly. Fig. 8

Fig. 9
ENGLISH
7) Try pushing in the Shape switch. You will in-
stantly get mid-scooped sound. This sound
enables slapping and popping bass styles.
Fig. 9
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.

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.

18. 3 Band EQ
Bass/Middle/Treble controls. Refer to the spec sheet at the end of this manual
for frequencies and levels.
19. Hue Control
This controls the overall color of your bass’ tone.
20. Master Control
This controls not only bass guitar signal level to power amp but also CD/MP3
gain level.
21. Direct Out Connector
This is a direct out connector for connecting to
your recorder or PA system. The polarity is as
shown in the diagram.
22. Pre/Post EQ Switch
This selects the point within the preamp circuit from which the Direct Out signal
will be taken. With the “PRE” setting, the signal is taken directly from the input,
and the amp controls will not affect the sound in any way. With the “POST” set
-
ting, the signal is taken from after the effect return, so that all controls other than
“VOLUME” will affect the signal. Regardless of this setting, the signal from the
CD input is never sent from DIRECT OUT.
23. GND Lift switch
The setting of this switch specifies whether pin 1 of the direct out connector will
be connected to the electrical ground of the SWX100 itself. If your equipment is
connected in a complex way and a ground loop is causing hum, using this
switch to disconnect the ground will reduce the hum.
24. CD/MP3 In jack
This is an RCA pin jack. It is designed to be connected to the headphone output
of a portable CD or MP3 player, or similar device. Use an RCA plug cable to
make connections. Use the volume control of your portable CD player to adjust
the volume.
25. Tweeter switch
This switches the built-in tweeter on/off.
26. Power switch
This switch turns the power on/off. When you are not using the amp, please
leave it turned off.
27. Power LED

Troubleshooting
First check that your shielded guitar cable, speaker cable, and power cable are
connected correctly. If possible, use a tester to check the cable or try using an
alternate cable or amp to verify your cable’s condition.
1. The power supply cannot be switched on.
• Check that the power cable has been connected correctly.
Try plugging it into a different socket and see if the same problem occurs.
2. The power supply can be switched on, but no sound is
heard.
• Check that the bass guitar has been connected correctly.
Remove any external components connected to the effects loop and between
the bass guitar and the amplifier and check to see if any sound is heard.
• Use a different shielded cable and check to see if any sound is heard.
• Check to see if the volume on the bass guitar is set to “0”.
• Use a different bass guitar and see if any sound is heard.
• Check to see if the volume on the amplifier is set to “0”.
• Check to see if the headphones are connected.
3. Noise is heard.
Check to see if anything in the immediate vicinity is resonating or banging
against the amplifier to produce the noise.
• Check to see if the plug cover on the shielded cable is loose.
• Make sure that the action (string height) of your bass guitar is set correctly.
Use another bass guitar, effects or other external components, and cable to
see if the same noise is produced.
4. No sound when you connect a CD/MP3.
• Make sure that the volume of the CD/MP3 player is not turned to 0.
• Make sure that the cable is connected correctly.
Try using another cable and see whether any sound is heard.
5. The CD/MP3 sounds wrong.
Does the cable you’re using have a stereo plug? Could you be using a monaural
plug?
6. No sound is produced in the headphones.
• Check that the headphones are connected correctly.
• Connect another set of headphones and see if sound is produced.
