A. INSTRUMENT - Plug your acoustic guitar in here.
B. GAIN - Adjusts the loudness of the Instrument channel.
C. TREBLE/MID/BASS - Adjusts the tone of the Instrument
channel in the high-/middle-/low-frequency bands
respectively.
D. STRING DYNAMICS - Controls a dynamic tone shaping
filter on the Instrument channel. Rotating clockwise
reduces the high-frequency harshness of peak playing
intensities at high GAIN {B} settings, while maintaining
crispness when playing more gently.
E. FEEDBACK NOTCH - Rotate slowly to locate and
suppress feedback at a specific frequency on the
Instrument channel. Set to “1” when not needed.
F. PHASE - Reverses the phase of the Instrument channel
which may reduce feedback in some situations.
G. INSERT - Input/output jack for connecting line-level or
battery-powered effects to the Instrument channel using a
stereo “Y–cord” (see INSERT Jacks on page 8).
H. FX SELECT - Selects one of 16 DSP effects for the
Instrument channel (see DSP Effects on page 7).
I. FX LEVEL - Adjusts the level of the selected DSP effect for
the Instrument channel.
J. AUX LEVEL - Adjusts the input level of auxiliary equipment
connected to the AUX IN {K} jacks. This level is not by
affected by MASTER VOLUME {X}.
K. AUX IN - RCA input jacks for connecting auxiliary
equipment such as a drum machine, CD or tape player for
accompaniment.
L. MIC - Balanced XLR input jack intended for a low-
impedance microphone.
M. LINE - Input jack intended for a high-impedance
microphone, drum machine or keyboards. Accepts
unbalanced (TS) or balanced (TRS) inputs (see TS/TRS on
page 7).
N. GAIN - Adjusts the loudness of the Mic/Line channel.
O. TREBLE/MID/BASS - Adjusts the tone of the Mic/Line
channel in the high-/middle-/low-frequency bands
respectively.
P. FEEDBACK NOTCH - Rotate slowly to locate and
suppress feedback at a specific frequency on the Mic/Line
channel. Set to “1” when not needed.
Q. PHASE - Reverses the phase of the Mic/Line channel
which may reduce feedback in some situations.
R. INSERT - Input/output jack for connecting line-level or
battery-powered effects to the Mic/Line channel using a
stereo “Y–cord” (see INSERT Jacks on page 8).
S. FX SELECT - Selects one of 16 DSP effects for the
Mic/Line channel (see DSP Effects on page 7).
T. FX LEVEL - Adjusts the level of the selected DSP effect for
the Mic/Line channel.
U. DSP PEAK - Indicates clipping (distortion) in the DSP
circuit. Occasional flashing at peak playing intensities is
normal. Reduce GAIN {B,N} levels if unwanted distortion
is heard while this LED is on.
V. SFX LEVEL - Adjusts the level of the SFX effect and the
corresponding loudness of the side speaker.
W. SFX DISABLE - Press in to disable the SFX effect and SFX
LEVEL {V}. NOTE: When SFX is disabled, the side
speaker is supplied with a portion of the main signal. This
is useful for onstage coverage in larger venues where SFX
“surround sound” is impractical.
X. MASTER VOLUME - Adjusts the overall volume of the
amplifier in conjunction with the GAIN knobs {B, N}.
Y. POWER - Switches the amplifier on and off as indicated by
the POWER ON LED.
