Suggested Settings

(These settings are general starting points. They are designed to get you close to the sound you are looking for. If the control is not shown, then it doesn’t apply to this particular sound. )

Standard Single Input Setup - in this setup your acoustic/electric guitar is plugged into inputs 1. (Remember, if you are using an active guitar or pre-amplified guitar, press the active switch in. We also suggest that you turn it’s output level to about mid way up and this will give you a cleaner sound as well as giving you available headroom for leads.) The tone controls follow both inputs.

Of course, you can adjust the tone controls to any desired sound but in this setup, we suggest these tone control settings. It will deliver a clear, clean sound that has enough top end clarity to cut through. Add low and low mid for a beefier presence but be careful as this can “muddy up” the sound. Adjust the feedback control to eliminate those unwanted “ringing” frequencies.

Adjust the reverb and chorus to suit the music or to your taste.

Standard Dual Input Setup - in this setup two inputs are utilized. Guitar is plugged into guitar input jack and a Hi-Z microphone is plugged into mic/line Input. Assuming you are also using a microphone, plug it into the mic/line jack and slowly turn up the mic/line volume control. Balancing the two types of inputs gives you a much more natural acoustic guitar sound.

You could also plug in any combination of inputs such as: keyboards, microphones or other guitars.

This can also be a basic mini-PA system. It could be used for plugging in a CD player or cassette decks and a microphone for singing. It can be used for playing over prerecorded tapes with mixing capabilities.

As mentioned earlier, you can adjust the tone controls to any desired sound but in this setup we suggest these tone control settings. Of course it depends on the listening environment. It will deliver a clear, clean sound that has enough top end clarity to let the acoustic sound cut through.

Adjust the reverb and chorus to suit the music or to your taste.
