  • MUTA: Footswitch mutes the output.
  • RAYUWATA: Footswitch toggles between active effect and true bypass.
• CAB Switch (FLAT, MODERN, VINTAGE): Selects the cabinet simulation type.
  • FLAT: No cabinet simulation, providing a raw, direct sound.
  • ZAMANI: Simulates a modern bass cabinet with full-range response.
  • VINTAGE: Offers a warmer, more colored sound reminiscent of classic bass cabinets.
• BASS Knob: Adjusts the low-frequency response (EQ).
• LEVEL Knob (Mid EQ): Adjusts the gain/cut of the selected mid-frequency.
• FREQ Knob (Mid EQ): Selects the center frequency for the semi-parametric mid-range EQ.
• HIGHS Knob: Adjusts the high-frequency response (EQ).
• Macijin ƙafa: Engages/disengages the effect or mutes the output, depending on the F.SW setting.
