Using the Gallien - Krueger MB115II is easy. First, connect your bass to one of the instrument inputs. If your bass has a high output, use the - 10db input switch. You can plug in your MP3 player or CD player to the 1/8 - inch Auxiliary Input to practice along with music. For silent practice, just plug your headphones into the headphone jack. When using it for a performance or recording, connect the XLR direct out to your soundboard. To shape your sound, use the onboard 4 - band Active EQ. You can also turn on the Limiter for high - volume clarity or turn it off for more dynamic range at lower volumes. If your model has the high - frequency horn tweeter, switch it on for a bright, aggressive sound or off for a thick, old - school tone. As for maintenance, keep the amp in a dry place. Wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, unplug it from the power source. When transporting, handle it carefully to avoid any physical damage.
