Quick Start: Get Up And Running Fast

You're anxious to start using Mama Bear,

but you don't want to read a manual yet.

Fair enough. However, read these next two

pages so that you get on the right track

immediately. Play around and then read the

rest of the manual. It covers important details

about Mama Bear, and tells you how to get

the most out of it and to get the best sound

ever from your acoustic guitar.

1. Plug the AC adapter's cord into the back of

Mama Bear, and plug the AC adapter into a

live outlet.

2. Plug Mama Bear into a mixing console,

preamp, or acoustic guitar amp in one of

these ways:

A. Use a cable with XLR (3-pin) plugs to

connect to a mixing console.

B. Use a shielded cord with 1/4" plugs to

connect to an amp or preamp.

For best results, connect your Mama Bear to a

high-quality sound system (P .A. system, high-

quality powered speakers, etc.).

Note: If you connect Mama Bear to

high-quality powered speakers, you will

need cables with the appropriate connectors.

3. Plug your acoustic guitar's cord into Mama

Bear's input jack.

4. Set all the controls like this (pay careful

attention to the switch settings):

5. Turn on Mama Bear by pressing the Power

switch.

6. Turn on your amp, preamp, or mixing console.

7. Strum your guitar and slowly bring up Mama

Bear's Input Level control until you see the

Overload LED barely light up when you hit the

strings hard.

Note: If your guitar has a volume control,

make sure it's turned up at least 50% or

higher. Also check its battery (if it uses one)

and replace it if it's dead or weak.

8. With your amp, preamp, or mixing console

volumes set to normal levels, bring up Mama

Bear's Output level. Be careful not to make it

too loud, and adjust your other equipment's

input levels if necessary to maintain good

levels without distortion.

9. Check the Phase switch setting. If you are

encountering feedback or if your guitar sounds

extra-hollow, try pushing the Phase switch.

This inverts the signal's phase and can thwart

feedback or bring more "body" into your tone.

(If your amp is on the floor, try raising it up.

The "bass coupling" effect that comes from

a speaker close to the floor causes extra bass

heaviness and can cause feedback.)
