3 - Settings

The built-in mixing console on the Natural6 amp offers a whole range of inputs, settings and other

options:

DSP Multi-effects Processor

(1) A button to select one of the eight pre-set DSP effects. The relevant effect is indicated

by a green LED.

(2) The REV RET knob in the MASTER control section controls the output level for a DSP

effect.

Anti-Feedback

(3) An ON/OFF button activates/deactivates the anti-feedback effect.

(4) The ANTIFEEDBACK knob controls the effect (100 to 250Hz).

With this effect you can suppress the feedback created by an electro acoustic guitar when

played at high volume near the amp. The attenuation filter offers 12dB sound reduction

over an adjustable frequency range of 100 to 250Hz.

Phantom Power

(5) An ON/OFF button activates/deactivates the PHANTOM POWER (+48V) supply that

features balanced XLR inputs for the first two audio inputs.

This power source is essential for most types of condenser mic.

Ground Lift

(6) By using this switch you can break the connection to the electrical earth.

Eliminates unwanted hum and buzz by preventing current flow between devices.

Main Switch

(7) Natural6 ON/OFF switch.

As a safety precaution, never use the amp at maximum power when it has just been

switched on from ‘cold’. Wait for the components to warm up (2 to 10 minutes depending

on room temperature).
