Adaptor supplied meets the power requirements in your area. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician
or AKAI professional dealer.

PROTECTING YOURSELF AND THE SB1 DEEP IMPACT
• Never touch the AC Adaptor with wet hands.
• Always disconnect the AC Adaptor from the power supply by pulling on the adaptor/plug, not the
cord.
• Allow only an AKAI professional dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or reassemble
the SB1 DEEP IMPACT. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers might touch live
internal parts and receive a serious electrical shock.
• Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the SB1 DEEP IMPACT.
• Use only a household AC power supply. Never use a DC power supply.
• If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the SB1 DEEP IMPACT, disconnect the power, and
call your dealer.
• Make sure that the unit is well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight.
• To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the SB1 DEEP IMPACT
away from sources of direct heat (stoves, radiators, etc.).
• Avoid using aerosol insecticides, etc. near the SB1 DEEP IMPACT. They may damage the surface,
and may ignite.
• Do not use denaturated alcohol, thinner or similar chemicals to clean the SB1 DEEP IMPACT. They
will damage the finish.
• Modification of this equipment is dangerous, and can result in the functions of the SB1 DEEP
IMPACT being impaired. Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way.
• Make sure that the SB1 DEEP IMPACT is always well-supported when in use on a firm level
surface.
• In order to assure optimum performance of your SB1 DEEP IMPACT, select the setup location
carefully, and make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the SB1 DEEP IMPACT
in the following locations:
1. In a humid or dusty environment
2. In a room with poor ventilation
3. On a surface which is not horizontal
4. Inside a vehicle such as a car, where it will be subject to vibration
5. In an extremely hot or cold environment
• Be sure to wait for a few seconds before tuning the unit on again after the power has been turned
off to ensure proper operation.
• When you connect this unit to other equipment, make sure that all of the other equipment is turned
off in order to prevent malfunction or damage to speakers.
WARNING
The SB1 DEEP IMPACT is designed to be used in a standard household environment.

If you’re a bass player who loves those classic
synth bass lines but never wanted to learn to use
a keyboard, the DEEP IMPACT SB1 is just what
you’ve been waiting for: your favorite synth bass
sounds at the tips of your fingers. With 9 pro-
grammable presets to choose from, you can just
plug and play or shape the sounds to suit you.
With the true/clean bypass mode, when you turn
the effect off, there is no coloration of the sound from the input.

INPUT LEVEL control
This sets the input signal level.
Set it so that the red LED (OVER) doesn't light even when playing at your loudest.
Level meter: The LEDs show the following levels for the input signal:
Red - overload, level is too high / Yellow - correct level / Green - signal is too low
Note: It is important that the correct level (yellow) is set: If the level is too high, the
sound will be distorted. If the level is too low, the pitch will not be detected correctly
and the effect will not work properly.
PROG. NO display
Displays the program number.
DATA display
Displays the data value of the currently selected parameter.
DATA control
Turn this dial to adjust the parameter’s data value (select the parameter with the
PARAMETER selector).

Operation:
1. Connect your bass to the INPUT jack.
2. Connect the OUTPUT jack to your amps INPUT jack or to the input of another
effect unit.
3. Turn your system on.
4. Press the ON/OFF (right) footswitch to turn the effect on (the LED (red) will light).
5. Adjust the INPUT LEVEL and OUTPUT LEVEL while playing the bass. The input
level should be adjusted so as the red LED of Level meter does not come on when
playing at your loudest. However, since the pitch cannot be determined properly if
the level is too low, the level should be adjusted as high as possible without turning
on the red LED (see “Important note” below for more detailed information).
Note: When the effect is turned off, the level display will not light. This is because
the SB1 is a true bypass and does not color the original sound of your bass when
turned off.
6. Select a program with the PROGRAM UP (left) footswitch.
The number will flash but the sound will not change. This is so that you can go
directly to a program without having to hear the other effects in between.
7. Press the ON/OFF switch to enable the selected effect (the number will stop
flashing).
Important notes:
• The SB1 performs the pitch detection of incoming signal. Depending on your
playing style, e.g., chord play, chopping, extremely fast passage, stc., the
pitch may be detected incorrectly and the effect sound may not sound at the
correct pitch.
• The SB1 is designed for bass. It can only handle the input signal of frequency
range between 30Hz and 470Hz (equivalent to the open 6th string note to
23rd fret of 1st string of a 6-string bass). If the incoming signal is outside this
range, it cannot detect the pitch correctly and so the synth sound (effect
sound) will be out of tune.
