1. Eden Logo - Illuminates to indicate that power is applied and the unit is switched on.
2. Input - Connect your instrument here.
3. Pad LED - Indicates when the pad circuit is active.
4. Gain - Controls the preamp level of your amplifier. Pull to activate the Pad circuit.
5. Comp Active LED - Indicates when the auto-compressor circuit is active.
6. Set Level LED - Indicates when the auto-compressor would be active if not bypassed.
7. Enhance - Eden tailored EQ modifier, adjust this to shape your overall EQ.
8. Bass - Set at the mid position this EQ provides a flat Bass EQ setting turning to the left will
reduce the Bass frequencies while turning to the right increases the Bass frequencies.
9. Low Freq. Sweep - Controls the Frequency at which the Low control will cut or boost.
10. Low Control - Set at the mid position this EQ provides a flat Low EQ setting turning to the left
will reduce the lower frequencies while turning to the right increases the lower frequencies.
11. Mid Freq. Sweep - Controls the Frequency at which the Mid control will cut or boost.
12. Mid Control - Set at the mid position this EQ provides a flat Mid EQ setting turning to the left
will reduce the lower frequencies while turning to the right increases the lower frequencies.
13. High Freq. Sweep - Controls the Frequency at which the High control will cut or boost.
14. High Control - Set at the mid position this EQ provides a flat High EQ setting turning to the
left will reduce the lower frequencies while turning to the right increases the lower frequencies.
15. Treble Control - Set at the mid position this EQ provides a flat Treble EQ setting turning to the
left will reduce the Treble frequencies while turning to the right increases the Treble frequencies.
16. EQ Clip LED - Indicates when the EQ section is being overdriven.
17. Master Control - Controls the overall level of your amplifier.
18. Output Limit LED - Indicates when the amplifier has reached it’s maximum output.
19. Phones - Insert standard headphones here for silent pratice.
