medders Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Anyone care to enlighten me what each of the five knobs on the 1200S actually do? Yes yes I know it sounds daft but I really want to know the exact details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yours is like that, the top two knobs are volume and tone. The latter only works in passive mode. The bottom three knobs are bass mid and treble and these work only in active mode. There are two switches. The two-way switch switches between active and passive. The three-way switch switches between neck/neck + bridge/bridge pickups.

Don't know what vintage it is but the Yamaha website dosn't recognise the serial number so I can't check it out. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
