An optional 9 - volt power supply is available.
Using the Aguilar DB 599 Bass Compressor Pedal is easy. First, connect your bass to the input 1/4″ jack and your amplifier to the output 1/4″ jack. Plug in the nine - volt DC power supply (or use the optional 9 - volt power supply). Then, start adjusting the controls. The Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release knobs let you customize the compression according to your playing style. The LED indicators show you the current settings in real - time. For a subtle compression that just enhances your dynamics, set the knobs to more moderate levels. If you want a more pronounced effect, turn up the COMP knob to lower the threshold and increase the compression ratio. When using it on stage or in the studio, make sure the pedal is placed securely on your pedalboard. Avoid dropping or hitting it as it may damage the internal components. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Store it in a dry place when not in use. If you have any issues, check the power supply and connections first. If the problem persists, contact Aguilar's customer service.
