Important Safety Instructions
This symbol warns the user of dangerous voltage levels
localized within the enclosure.
This symbol advises the user to read all accompanying
literature for safe operation of the unit.
Read, retain, and follow all instructions. Heed all warnings.
Only connect the power supply cord to an earth grounded AC
receptacle in accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings
listed under INPUT POWER on the rear panel of this product.
WARNING: To prevent damage, fire or shock hazard, do not
expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Unplug the power supply cord before cleaning the unit exterior
(use a damp cloth only). Wait until the unit is completely dry
before reconnecting it to power.
During operation: Maintain at least 6 inches (15.25 cm) of
unobstructed air space around the unit to allow for proper
ventilation and cooling of the unit; do not block any vents in the

front and rear covers and leave empty one full rack space above
the unit.
This product should be located away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, or other products that produce heat.
This product may be equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
wider than the other). This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this
plug.
Protect the power supply cord from being pinched or abraded.
This product should only be used with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
The power supply cord of this product should be unplugged from
the outlet when left unused for a long period of time, or during
electrical storms.
This product should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when: the power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled onto the product;
or the product has been exposed to rain; or the product does not
appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance; or the product has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
Do not drip nor splash liquids, nor place liquid filled containers on
the unit.
CAUTION: No user serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.

amplifiers and loudspeaker systems are capable of
producing very high sound pressure levels which may cause
temporary or permanent hearing damage. Use care when
setting and adjusting volume levels during use.

A. INPUT - Plug your bass in here.
B. PASSIVE/ACTIVE - Selects pickup type (sensitivity):
PASSIVE - normal (full input sensitivity)
ACTIVE - pre–amplified (low input sensitivity)
C. GAIN - Adjusts the preamp signal level. Use together with
MASTER VOLUME {L} to set the overall amplifier
loudness. Watch the PRE AMP LEDs to determine the
optimal GAIN setting:


PRE AMP CLIP - Indicates preamp clipping
(distortion). Occasional flashing is normal at peak playing
intensities – reduce GAIN if unwanted distortion is heard
while this LED is on.
PRE AMP SIGNAL - Indicates the presense of
sufficient signal strength. Constant illumination is normal
at moderate playing intensities – increase GAIN and/or
your instrument volume if this LED is off or only flashing.
D. ROOM BALANCE - Rotate clockwise for treble emphasis
to compensate for soft acoustic surfaces (carpet/drapes).
Rotate counter–clockwise for bass emphasis to
compensate for hard acoustic surfaces (cement/tile).
E. ENHANCE - Boosts low and high frequencies.
OFF - Useful for finger–style bass playing
ON - Useful for slap–style/deep–tone bass playing
F. BASS/TREBLE - Adjusts tone in low/high frequency
bands respectively.
G. SEMI-PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER - Adjusts
tone in three variable frequency bands. Each
FREQ knob selects the frequency range that
the corresponding LEVEL knob adjusts.
NOTE: The EQ has no effect when all LEVEL
knobs are set to “0.”
H. EQ GAIN - Adjusts the signal level of the semi-parametric
equalizer circuit (when EQ ON/OFF is in). Useful for
setting a balance between EQ on and off volume levels.
I. EQ ON/OFF - Switches the semi-parametric equalizer
on/off as indicated by the LED.
J. COMPRESSOR - Compresses the dynamic range of the
signal to smooth volume peaks and increase sustain.
Rotate fully counter-clockwise to disable the compressor.
K. MUTE - Disables all amplifier outputs except for TUNER
OUT. LED flashes when MUTE is active.
L. MASTER VOLUME - Adjusts overall amplifier loudness in
conjunction with GAIN {C}. Watch the PWR AMP LED to
determine the optimal MASTER VOLUME setting.


PWR AMP CLIP - Indicates power amp clipping
(distortion). Occasional flashing is normal at peak playing
intensities. Reduce MASTER VOLUME if unwanted
distortion is heard while this LED is on.
M. POWER - Switches the unit on/off as indicated by the LED.

N. IEC POWER SOCKET - Connect the supplied power cord
to a grounded AC receptacle in compliance with the
voltage and frequency ratings specified on the rear panel
of your amplifier.
O. PARALLEL SPEAKER OUTPUTS -
WARNING: In order to maintain the rated load impedance,
disconnect the internal speaker (400 Pro) before
connecting external speakers. See note below.
P. GROUND LIFT - Disconnects the LINE OUT {V} ground
connection (pin-1) which may reduce noise levels.
GROUNDED (normal) GROUND LIFTED
Q. LINE OUT - Balanced XLR jack for output to sound
reinforcement/recording equipment.
R. LINE OUT LEVEL - Adjusts the output
level of the LINE OUT jack.
S. PRE/POST EQ - Supplies the LINE OUT
jack with the signal either before or after it
is processed by the tone/equalization
circuits.
PRE (tone/EQ bypassed)
POST (tone/EQ active)
T. TUNER OUT - Connect your bass tuner to enable inline
instrument tuning (see MUTE {K}).
U. FOOTSWITCH - Connect the included footswitch to
enable remote on/off switching of the semi-parametric
equalizer. NOTE: When connected, the footswitch
overrides EQ ON/OFF {I} on the front panel.
V. EFFECTS - (1) Ef
fects Loop - Connect SEND to the input
of your effects device and the output of the effects device
to RETURN. (2) Multiple Pr
o™ Amps - Connect SEND on
the primary unit to RETURN on the auxiliary unit. The
primary unit controls all auxiliary units.
W. HORN LEVEL - (400 Pro only) Adjusts the
volume level of the horn (high frequencies).
X. FUSE - (400 Pro only) Protects the horn
from overload damage. If the horn stops
responding, replace the fuse with the same type and rating
as specified on your amplifier (2A, 250V).
NOTE: Safety Agencies in some countries have requirements
that prohibit a rating of less than 4-ohms for this product.
However, internal testing and consumer feedback have shown
this product to function reliably with various external speaker
enclosures. Fender
®
will warranty this product under normal
usage conditions with external speaker enclosures.
