Whilst this is a photo copy, and some of the pages are a little askew, it was all readable and intact. A real bonus finding an old manual for a classic piece of kit that no other site had.
Great stuff.
Thanks to Owner-Manuals.com! This manual was exactly what I needed. As Amana was purchased by Maytag and later by Whirlpool, there was no way to receive it from their websites. I was lucky to find this resource.

Using the Effects
DEFRETTER
This effect allows you to use a conventional bass to simulate a fretless bass.
SENS/BOTTOM knob
Adjusts the amount of defretter effect applied in response to the input sound.
DEPTH/TONE knob
Adjusts the tone. Turn the knob to the left for a milder sound, or to the right for a sharper sound.
RESONANCE/E.LEVEL knob
Adjusts the volume of the defretter sound.
ENHANCER
This is an effect that clarifies the contour of the input sound by emphasizing the sound following changes in the input level.
SENS/BOTTOM knob
This adjusts the Enhancer sensitivity. The more the knob is turned to the right, the more softly you can play and still have the effect applied.
DEPTH/TONE knob
Adjusts the frequency at which the enhancer will begin to be applied. The effect is applied at higher frequencies the more the knob is turned to the right.
RESONANCE/E.LEVEL knob
Adjusts the amount of enhanced sound added to the mix.
BOTTOM BOOST/MID SHAPE/HOLLOW
Alters the special characteristics of the bass sound.
BOTTOM BOOST:
Creates a tone with a boosted low end.
MID SHAPE:
Creates a tone with the midrange cut back.
HOLLOW:
Adds body resonance to create a tone resembling that of an acoustic-electric bass.
SENS/BOTTOM knob
Adjusts the tone of the lower range.
DEPTH/TONE knob
