Serial No._____________________ Invoice Date_______________

Congratulations on your purchase of the Series III RedLine bass amp. Your

new amp has been totally redesigned from earlier Series I and II releases.

Enhancements come from the new internal construction using SMT (sur-

face mounted components). Design changes include the new 12AX7 Tube

Emulator (no tube maintenance), noise gate, compressor, high current Twist-

Lok speaker connectors, adjustable Direct Out and separate preamp insert

jacks. While all the internal circuits have been changed, the classic outer

panel remains the same as one of the leading designs in pro bass amplifi-

cation. This manual covers the R600 and R1000 head, Cyclops and Red

Eye combo amplifiers.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY

If you are like most players, you probably want to plug in your new amp and get started

playing right away. However, with a full featured amp like the R600/R1000, the setup must

be right or you will experience unsatisfactory results. Before you start, be sure your amp

is plugged into the correct AC voltage.

1. Plug your bass guitar into the ACTIVE (bass with preamp) or PASSIVE (bass with no bat-

tery) input jack. With your bass full on and playing hard, be sure the CLIP led next to the

input jacks is not flashing (very dim flashing is OK) or preamp distortion will result. Use

the ACTIVE input if your instrument continues to cause clipping.

2. The INPUT GAIN control should be set at the center “0” position. The AMP 1 & 2 and MASTER

VOLUME levels should be set at their center “5” position. If these setting are too loud, then

bring down the MASTER VOLUME. However, the GAIN control should be kept at “0” or higher

for the best signal to noise performance. Note, the GAIN control does not turn the input off.

3. Set the COMPRESSOR & GATE to their off position. Read about their functions later.

4. Set the LOW, MID SWEEP and HIGH tone controls to their off center “0” position. Adjust

later after you are more familiar with the amp.

5. Set the 9 EQ bands to their “0” center positions and adjust later if needed. The EQ switch

is used to defeat the EQ.

6. Set the guitar’s level full on and turn the master VOLUME OFF. Now, turn the amp ON and

gradually raise the master VOLUME (set the input GAIN at “0” & the AMP 1 & 2 at “5”).

Re-adjust according to the desired volume. Never try to get full power by pushing the input

GAIN control to its maximum while keeping the AMP 1 & 2 and MASTER VOLUME levels below 5.

7. Your tone shaping should start with the PRE-SHAPE filters. You can use the tone con-

trols and the 9-band graphic EQ as more tone variation is required. It is not recommended

to add a lot of bass if the pre-shape bass filter is used especially at high levels because early

clipping can occur. Use moderation when dialing in tone.

8. Use the built-in COMPRESSOR to limit peaks. This will help you get more power from

your system by keeping the amps from clipping.

9. Biamping the CYCLOPS combo or any large bass stacks requires careful balancing of

the AMP 1 & 2 controls. These amp controls power the woofer and midrange/tweeter inde-

pendently. Double check to see that the speaker’s components are plugged into the cor-

rect amp jacks. If the cables are reversed (feeding the wrong speakers), the BRIDGE switch

is inadvertently pushed in, or the front BIAMP switch or X-OVER frequency is incorrectly

set, your amp will not perform correctly. Carefully checking these items will help prevent

service calls.

10. Need more power? Even though the R600/R1000 is a powerful amp, adding more speak-

ers is the only way for substantially more output. Every time you double your speakers, your

acoustic output goes up by a factor of four. This is far more efficient than trying to add 4

times the power especially when speakers become less efficient when driving them harder.

Bridging your amp into a 4 ohm system will give you more output. However, speakers can

be be damaged from high power or the amp will go into “protect” if loaded below 4 ohms.

Hopefully, this will help you get started. Have fun exploring the many new features and sounds

of the R600/R1000. Take your time because you’re new amp has a lot of potential if properly setup!

DESIGNED FOR TOURING

Every R600 & R1000 is made from heavy-duty 16 gauge steel that is galvanized before

being painted to prevent rust. All internal cabling is neatly tied and harnessed. Every cir-

cuit card is MIL SPEC, double-sided, through-hole plated, fire retardant FR-4 glass epoxy.

This insures that the solder flows on the top, bottom and through each hole of every com-

ponent, preventing components from shaking loose. Toroid transformers are used as they

are the engineer’s choice for greater power supply current while reducing weight and mag-

netic “hum” fields.

SERIES III WITH TWIST-LOK SPEAKER CONNECTORS

R600/R1000 HEAD/RL6815 CYCLOPS/RC210 RED EYE

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

1. INPUT GROUP

Two 1/4” phone jacks are provided to accommodate both passive and active instruments. The

PASSIVE input is to be used with bass guitars with standard high impedance pickups. This

high impedance input offers 8db more gain than the ACTIVE input jack. The ACTIVE input is

to be used with instruments that contain active electronics. The INPUT GAIN knob is used to

set the input level and the BLEND knob controls how much signal is mixed through the “TUBE

EMULATOR”. The red CLIP LED indicates when the input is close to clipping. To avoid clip-

ping, reduce the bass level, GAIN knob or use the ACTIVE input jack.

2. PRE-SHAPE EQ

The PRE-SHAPE EQ is useful for dialing in your tone quickly. The LOW BOOST switch pro-

vides a 8dB boost at just under 80Hz. This is useful for adding some depth to the bottom- end

without bringing up the lower midrange. The MID SHIFT switch offers two different scooped

mid selections. In the IN position, the amp has a 10dB cut at 250Hz. Depressing this button

raises the cut frequency to 500Hz. The HI BOOST switch offers a 6dB boost at 3kHz. This can

provide good high frequency compensation when using 15” or 18” speakers with no tweeters.

3. MAIN EQ TONE CONTROLS

The main EQ tone controls consists of a low shelving control, a sweep midrange control and

a high shelving control. The LOW EQ control provides the overall shaping of the low frequen-

cies. The action of this control has been carefully matched to the response of the bass guitar.

The MID SWEEP controls perform as a semiparametric EQ over the mid frequency range. The

MID GAIN knob provides a boosting or cutting action at a relatively narrow band of frequen-

cies. When the EQ GAIN knob of the MID SWEEP controls is set to “0”, the mid sweep will

have no effect. To boost or cut a specific frequency, rotate the MID GAIN knob clockwise (right)

or counter clockwise (left) respectively. The FREQ control knob is used to select the center

frequency where the boosting or cutting will occur. The best way to become familiar with the

MID SWEEP control is to set the MID GAIN knob at either full cut or full boost and rotate the

FREQ knob over its range of frequencies. Listen to the results and experiment with different

levels. The MID SWEEP EQ is a powerful sound shaping tool which usually requires some prac-

tice to get the best results. The HIGH EQ control knob is designed to cut or boost the high fre-

quencies of the bass guitar. Boosting with this control is useful for bringing up the very highest

harmonics of the bass, which is especially useful when slapping or popping. Note: boosting

the high frequencies can result in increased hiss, especially when using tweeters. This is normal.

4. COMPRESSOR

The COMPRESSOR of the RedLine Series amps is designed to limit the peaks so the volume

level is more constant. This allows greater average power to your speakers without the power

amps clipping (distorting). The R600/R1000 two knob compressor with THRESHOLD and RATIO

controls is more flexible and precise than a single control unit. The user can dial up the exact

amount of compression desired and at what level they want the compression to begin. The

THRESHOLD control knob sets the point where the compressor kicks in. In the OFF position,

the compressor has no effect on the sound. Rotating this control in the clockwise direction

lowers the level where the compressor turns on. The compressor indicator LED shows when

this threshold is obtained, thus showing when the compressor is on. The RATIO knob is used

to set the amount of compression once the threshold has been reached. When this knob is

swept all the way counter clockwise (left) the unit is set for a mild compression. As the knob

is rotated clockwise (right) the compression ratio increases. The range of available compres-

sion ratios is 1.3 to 1 in the full counter clockwise position and 5 to 1 in the full clockwise posi-

tion. The compressor is interactive with the input gain knob and the volume knobs on the bass

guitar itself. Lowering the volume feeding the compressor will reduce the amount of com-

pression and raising it will result in more compression. To get a tight limiting sound which is

often nice for slap style playing, set the RATIO control to the full clockwise position and bring

up the THRESHOLD knob until the desired reduction is realized.

5. NOISE GATE

The noise GATE reduces the noise caused by the pickups. To use the GATE, mute the strings

with your hand and raise the THRESHOLD control knob until the amp’s noise is turned off and

the green LED turns off. The GATE will turn the amp on as the bass is played. The INPUT

GAIN will affect the gate setting.

6. ELECTRONIC X-OVER (BI-AMPING)

The electronic X-OVER is used to set the amp for a bi-amped configuration. When the BI-AMP

/ FULL RANGE selector switch is in the “OUT” position, the amp is in the bi-amp mode. To

select the crossover frequency, rotate the FREQ control knob until the desired frequency is

obtained. Try 800Hz. A bi-amped system allows the user greater control over the tone of their

bass rig. This allows speakers designed for specific frequencies to be utilized to their fullest

potential. NOTE: BI-AMPING DOES NOT NECESSARILY DELIVER THE MOST VOLUME FROM YOUR SYSTEM.

7. GRAPHIC EQ/EFFECTS LOOP

The nine band graphic EQ has been designed with the center frequencies most requested by

professional bass players. This EQ can be used to fine tune the tonal content of the amps output.

Since the graphic EQ is controllable with either the optional FS22 footswitch or the EQ switch

on the front panel, it can be used to develop a second sound from the amp. Musicians that

play more than one bass on stage will find this useful to get the sounds they desire out of each

instrument. The footswitch selectable graphic EQ can also be useful during passages of a song

when the bass needs to punch through the mix. A GREEN LED indicator located along the side

of the EQ signifies when the graphic EQ is working. The YELLOW effect loop LED labeled EFF

LOOP indicates when the effects loop is turned on. Note: the EQ switch on the front panel

overrides the the footswitch. So when the graphic EQ is off, it cannot be turned on with the

footswitch.

8. OUTPUT CONTROL GROUP

The output group determines how the RedLine amplifiers interfaces with other gear and speak-

ers. The POWER AMP CONTROL 1 & 2 controls the volume to the individual amps. These are

used to balance the low and high cabinets when in full range or bi-amping modes (stereo). To

set the balance, bring up the AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) knob until the desired volume level is reached.

Now bring up the AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) knob until the desired balance has been achieved. The

master VOLUME control sets the overall volume.

9. POWER / PROTECT (RESET)

Push the upper portion of the POWER SWITCH to turn the amplifier on. If the power indica-

tor LED is on but no sound is coming out of the speakers, the amp may have gone into one of

its protection modes. To reset the amp, turn the power off for one minute and then turn the

amp back on. If the problem persists, check for; a) The speaker impedance is too low for the

bridge output (4 ohm min.) or normal outputs (2 ohms min. per amp) b) bad speaker cable,

c) damaged speaker or, d) blocked rear fan intake.

HELPFUL HINTS

1) POOR BIAMP SOUND: The speaker cables from AMP 1 (woofers) and AMP 2 (tweet-

ers) have been reversed, AMP 1 and 2 level controls are not balanced or the X-OVER

has been set at an incorrect frequency. (start at 800 Hz).

2) NO SOUND FROM AMPS 1 & 2: The rear BRIDGE switch has been inadvertently pushed in

or speakers plugged into wrong jacks.

3) NO HIGH FREQUENCIES: Tweeters or midrange drivers have been damaged from to

much power.

4) WEAK BASS: The speaker systems are wired out of phase to each other. To correct,

reverse the wires on one speaker connectors.

5) DIR XLR HUM: Try switching the rear GND LIFT switch IN or OUT. If the hum is not elim-

inated, use a 600Ωline input transformer cutting the input ground on the connectors (Pin 3).

123 4 56789

Twist-Lok cables are recommended for your bass rig because of their high cur-

rent capacity. While the standard 16 GA 1/4” cables will work OK with your system,

the CARVIN 12 GA Twist-Lok cables will allow you to gain as much as 20% more

power at high power levels extracting every watt from your RedLine bass amp.

The very short 1/4” cables will work for the RC210 and RL6815 combo amps.

FULL RANGE MODE:

The FULL RANGE mode of your RedLine bass amp works well with separate bass

and full-range speaker systems. Instead of using the Bi-Amp mode, you can simply

run AMP 1 into your bass speakers and AMP 2 into your full-range speakers using

the natural crossover frequencies of each speaker system. If you need deeper

bass or more highs, just turn up amp 1 or amp 2 for a balance sound. The front

panel X-OVER switch must be pushed “IN” for the FULL-RANGE MODE.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

BI-AMP MODE:

To BI-AMP your speakers, connect your bass speaker(s) into AMP 1 and your

full-range speaker(s) into AMP 2. The front panel X-OVER switch must be in

the “OUT” position for BI-AMPING. Set the X-OVER FREQ control to 800 Hz,

as this is normally the best crossover point for most speaker systems. Now

adjust the AMP 1 and AMP 2 power amp controls to get a balance sound. For

BI-AMPING the RC210 and RL6815, be sure the bass speaker is plugged into

AMP 1 and the full-range speakers plugged into AMP 2.

FOR MAXIMUM OUTPUT:

A. To get your loudest output, use multiple speakers or enclosures. Every

time you double your speakers, your acoustic output goes up by a factor of

four. Load the amplifier down to its lowest minimum impedence for maxi-

mum RMS power

BI-AMP MODE:

B. To get high output from your RedLine bass amp from two 8 ohm speak-

ers, use the FULL-RANGE BRIDGE MODE. Set the front panel X-OVER switch

to the “IN” FULL-RANGE position. On the rear of the amp, push the BRIDGE

switch “IN”. Plug one Twist-Lok cable into the rear amp BRIDGE ONLY con-

nector and daisy-chain another Twist-Lok from speaker to speaker. Two 8 ohm

speakers will give you a total impedance of 4 ohms, which is the maximum

power from your amp. If you use two 4 ohms speakers, your amp will shut

off and go into the “protect” mode. To reset, turn your amp off and connect

only two 8 ohm speakers (or one 4 ohm) speaker to your amp when you are

in BRIDGE MODE.

10. COOLING VENTS

The rear vents are for cooling the internal power amps. Provide a minimum of 3” of clearance

for adequate ventilation. Blocking the air flow to these vents will cause the amp to thermally

protect and turn the speaker relays off. If this happens, clear the obstruction first, keep the

power on, and turn the guitar volume down allowing the amp to cool. The amp will engage

the speaker relays when cooling conditions return to normal.

11. EFFECTS LOOP

The EFF LOOP SEND and RETURN jacks are used to connect external effects into the RedLine’s

signal chain. The loop is inserted after the main EQ and compressor but before the graphic

EQ. To use the effects loop, connect the SEND jack to the input of the effects unit and connect

the RETURN jack to the output of the effects unit. The effects loop can be turned on and off

by using the optional FS22 footswitch. When the footswitch is not connected, the loop will

default to the ON position. The status of the effects loop is indicated on the front panel by a

YELLOW LED marked EFF LOOP.

12. PREAMP / DIRECT OUT XLR

The PREAMP XLR is a balanced output that can be configured in a number of different ways.

The LINE / DIR switch is used to select a pre or post pre amp feed. In the “LINE” position,

the feed is post the preamp section and contains all of the signal processing and effects that

are being used. In the “DIR” position, a direct feed is taken off of the bass guitar and is sim-

ilar to using a direct input box at the input jack. To set the output, use the DIRECT OUT LEVEL

control. A GROUND LIFT switch is also available on the preamp out XLR jack. Set this switch

for the lowest noise when using this output. When the GND / LIFT switch is depressed, the

signal ground is lifted from this jack thus eliminating any ground loops between the RedLine

preamp out and the gear it is feeding.

13 & 14. PREAMP INSERT JACKS (HI FREQ & LOW FREQ)

Both preamp inserts are TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) jacks with the tip as the SEND and the ring as

the RETURN. Using a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) insert cable, the preamp signal can be sent out

via the tip to an external effects processor and then returned to the internal power amp via the

ring. Use the front amp 1 & 2 controls for level adjustments. When the X-OVER is set to full

range “in”, both outputs receive the same full range signal. When the X-OVER is set to BI-AMP

MODE “out”, AMP 1 receives the low frequency signals and AMP2 receives the high frequency

signals as set by the front panel crossover. If a standard (Tip-Sleeve) instrument cable is used,

the low and hi frequencies can be routed from the preamp to an external power amp. These

insert jacks break the signal to the internal power amplifier.

15. FOOTSWITCH

Connect the optional FS22 footswitch to remotely control the nine band graphic EQ and the

effects loop. The first button on the FS22 turns the graphic EQ on and off and the second button

turns the effects loop on and off. Any standard footswitch with a stereo plug will work.

16. PHONES JACK

A PHONES jack is provided for practicing or as a place to hook up a tuner. Use any high

quality headphones with an impedance greater than 50Ωwhen connecting to this jack. The

phones jack does not interrupt the amplifiers output so a tuner can be left plugged into this

jack while playing. When using a Tip / Sleeve (mono) cable to attach gear such as a tuner

to the phones jack, insert the cable to the first click mono position of the jack.

17. SPEAKER OUTPUTS

The R600/R1000 amp contains two 1/4” and two TWIST-LOK speaker output connectors,

one for each amp. The AMP 1 (LOW FREQ) jack corresponds to the AMP 1 (LOW FREQ)

and the AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) jack corresponds to the AMP 2 (HIGH FREQ) knob on the front

panel. Multiple speakers can be attached to either the 1/4” or Twist-Lok jacks so long as the

total impedance is not below 2Ωper amp.

18. BRIDGE SPEAKER OUTPUTS

The R600 produces 600 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ωload or 500 watts into an 8Ωload.

The R1000 produces 1000 watts (bridged mono) into a 4Ωload or 700 watts into an 8Ω

load. To activate, push the rear recessed BRIDGE switch “IN” with a pencil and plug the speak-

ers into the BRIDGE ONLY 1/4” or TWIST-LOK jacks. Pins 1+ and 1- are used on the Twist-

Lok connector. The minimum total impedance is 4 ohms.

19. INTERNAL FUSE

If there are high AC voltage surges or if the amp is used with excessive loads, the internal

fuse will protect your amp from damage. If the fuse fails, the proper replacement fuses for

120 VAC models are; R600-15 AMP and R1000-25 AMP 250VAC slow blow.

240 VAC models; R600-10 AMP and R1000-15 AMP 250 VAC slow blow.

20. AC LINE CORD

All RedLine Series bass amplifiers are supplied with detachable three conductor AC line cords.

Make sure the cord is securely inserted into the back of the unit. Never defeat the ground

of the AC line cord as it is there for your protection. If you must plug into a two prong outlet,

use a quality 3 to 2 prong grounded adapter and properly ground it.
