Foreword Congratulations on your purchase of the New Eden David series Bass Guitar Combo Amplifier by Eden Electronics. We are proud to present our very best high power Combo Amplifier. This Amplifier represents a great deal of research and design effort. We have put our best cutting edge amplifier technologies, enclosure design and styling together to create a great sounding Bass head with some wonderful new features. All of this a driven by a monster 600 Watt RMS power Amplifier.

The Metro features a one piece aluminum chassis, High efficiency power transformer, Dual channels, thermostatically controlled fan, automatic limiter, a high temperature Auto-limiting system, and international power supply voltages are available on every model. The Output Power of the 600 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms, 400 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms, and 240 Watts @ 8 Ohms output at full power. The THD is less than .02%.
Gain Control The gain control is used to match the output level of your instrument to the proper operating level for the Amplifier and Compressor Limiter. For normal operation you should set the control between 10:00 and 1:00, unless you have an unusually high signal output Bass or a very low output Bass. Input Pad To activate the –12dB pad on the input of your unit pull out on the Gain Control for the channel that you are using, both channels are equipped with this feature.
When this switch (WORKS ONLY WITH THE FOOT SWITCH ) is engaged ,it mutes both the stage sound and the D.I. send. Only the tuner output stays hot. The Mute is on or muted when the foot-switch LED is on (on those foot switches with LED’s). Or the LED’s on the channel selector are both unlit. Three Band Tone Controls The main tone control section is a simple Three Band tone equalizer. It divides the audio spectrum into three bands: Low, Midrange, and High. The Low and High filters are shelving type filters.
Gain Control This controls the available gain to the first preamplifier stage. For normal operation run the input Gain between 9:00 and 2:00 for most instruments. -12 dB Pad Pulling out on the Gain Control knob operates the control and results in a signal reduction of –12dB at the input. Enhance Control This is complex tone shaping network. It is designed to slightly boost the lower frequencies. To scoop out the low midrange and add a boost to the high frequencies all at the same time.
The Treble control is also a shelving type filter and cuts or boosts the Treble by +/15 dB. Above 2 KHz. Flat response is at the 12:00 position. Semi-Parametric Equalizer (Quazi-Parametric) A fully Parametric Equalizer has controls for Bandwidth or (Q), center Frequency, and the level of the boost or cut. These filters can be very Difficult to set up correctly. It is very Easy to make a fully Parametric EQ. sound bad. The Quazi-Parametric filter is much less difficult for the User to adjust.
This control works just like the midrange control with +/- 15 dB of change available. It regulates frequencies between 1.2 KHz and 12 KHz. This control is very effective for bringing out the bright overtones on the bass. E.Q. Clipping Indicator This LED will light up if the signal is clipping any place in the tone control or Preamp section. If this lights up while you are playing it will be necessary to redesign your tone controls or lower you input gain to prevent signal distortion.
Main AC Inlet (IEC standard) This inlet fits a standard computer office machine AC cable interconnect. The Fuse is located just above the plug receptacle. The correct voltage is displayed in the upper left corner of the holder and should read correctly with the rest of the printing on the amplifier. If a fuse blows replace it ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE AND SIZE. The voltage of operation will be marked on the back of the unit. Speaker Outputs There are (3) speaker outputs provided (3) ¼” jacks.
CREATING YOUR SOUND This is what we have found to be the best way to get your sound out of the World Tour amplifiers. Setting the pre-amp to flat Set the Enhance controls to “0” or Min. Set all other tone controls straight up or in the 12:00 position Set the master Volume control to (0) Plug in you bass and speaker and turn on the amplifier.
some of the enhance control to see if this tone gives you more of what you want to hear. To sum things up You will always have the best results creating a great bass tone around the natural tone of your instrument. High quality Bass Amplifier systems like the David Series products are designed to enhance and deliver the natural good qualities of your instrument.
