7 – MASTER
Use the MASTER level knob to set the overall output level of the
amp. The master level also controls the level of the headphone
output.
8 – MUTE
The MUTE button mutes both the speaker and the balanced
output. This means that you can tune up with no sound going to
your own rig or to the PA.
9 – SHIFT
The SHIFT button is used to access the secondary functions
marked with red text on BLACKSMITH’s front panel.
The following controls have secondary functions:
Normal mode Shift mode (press SHIFT)
EQ (1-4) EQ Bands Center Frequencies
SPECTRACOMP TweeterTone adjust
TUBETONE Preset/Memory Level Settings
When you haven’t been using BLACKSMITH’s front panel
controls for about twenty seconds, the BLACKSMITH will return
to normal mode, where the knobs control the primary functions
printed in white.

WhyMEMsettings?
Even though many bass players tend to play with the same
sound most of the time, a lot of them do have a couple of
different basses, playing styles, pickup settings or other factors
that require amp settings to be changed. We figured that it would
be handy to simply push one button instead of fiddling with
several knobs.
Remote Control
BLACKSMITH’soptionalremotecontrol–“RC-4”–allowsfor
floor recall of all three MEM settings as well as mute and tuner
display.
