We have always been about having a clean head. A "plug and play" device is an amplifier without any added effects. Simple, intuitive, and so that everyone can unveil the layer of sophistication that best serves our projects and skills. "The Exponent 500" is a new concept that, once connected, transforms into a multi-effects unit, with fully programmable and presetable signal chains with all the components a professional bassist needs.

Front Panel Features

Input

Use this jack to connect your instrument via a standard 1/4" mono cable.

Quick Pots

There are five "Quick-Pots" on the front panel of the "Exponent 500" (a, b, c, d and e).

By default, these pots are mapped to the four frequency bands of the amp's EQ and to a preset-specific control.

In Darkglass Suite, you can freely link the "Quick-Pots" to your selection of five controls from the effects in your signal chain.

Master

Use this knob to control the overall volume of the amplifier.

Preset

Press the preset button to cycle through presets 1-5 and a bypass signal. The current preset is displayed with a single LED next to the preset number. When the e500 is bypassed, all preset LEDs will display a faint white color.

Long press the preset button to start Bluetooth pairing. All preset LEDs will light up white while pairing is active.

Mute

Press the mute button to mute the physical outputs. When the e500 is muted, all preset LEDs will light up a faint red color.

WARNING

· No user-serviceable parts inside the amplifier. Do not open the amplifier.

· Never use the amplifier in a very humid environment or near liquids.

· The "Exponent 500" can deliver more than 115 dB of power. Exposure to this level of sound can damage your hearing. Use appropriate hearing protection if you will be exposed.

· The Exponent 500 can deliver more than 500 Watts. Make sure your speaker is capable of delivering this power.

· Do not cover the ventilation holes. The fan and ventilation holes are part of the amplifier's cooling system. Covering the ventilation holes can damage the power amplifier by overheating it.

· Do not use an instrument cable as a speaker cable. An instrument cable is not designed to provide the type of power signals sent from the amplifier to the speaker.
