Compressor
8. LEVEL: This is a Osoft-knee� compressor using a photo-optical cell as itOs attenuating element for con-
trolling gain-reduction. The single-knob LEVEL control will lower the threshold at which gain reduc-
tion begins and increase the ratio of input vs. output, simultaneously, as it is rotated in the clockwise
direction from O0� to O10�.
9. IN/OUT: When switched to the OIN� position, the compressor circuit will be engaged as indicated by
the green LED. When the incoming signal reaches the threshold, determined by the position of the
LEVEL control, the yellow LED indicates that compression is taking place. This switch is superceded by
the use of the optional FS-BMAX footswitch.
BBE Process
10. LO CONTOUR: This control is a low frequency adjustment for the BBE Process. It provides a boost of
10dBu when turned to its maximum position (clockwise) at 50Hz. When turned to its minimum posi-
tion (counter-clockwise) it would be flat or no change.
11. PROCESS: When the knob is in its minimum position, completely counterclockwise, no process is
taking effect and the circuit is in its noise suppression mode. Turning the knob clockwise will intro-
duce the BBE Process. Adjust the knob to mix the desired amount of process to suit your taste. Use the
BBE as an extension of the tone controls. Generally a good place to start the BBE process is to set the
knob to itOs 12 oOclock position, then adjust accordingly. Note: The BBE process is applied after the
effects return.
12. BBE IN/OUT: This switch engages the BBE Process as indicated by the green LED. When in the OOUT�
position, the green LED will not illuminate, indicating that the BBE Process has been disengaged. This
switch is superceded by the use of the optional FS-BMAX footswitch.
Output
13. MASTER: This control simultaneously adjusts the signal level of both the Balanced and Unbalanced
outputs.
14. POWER: This switch applies AC power to the BBE BMAX-T. The green power switch will illuminate
when the power switch is in the OON� position.
