1.POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of the switch depressed).

2. POWER LED: This LED illuminates when the POWER switch is on and the amplifier has power provided from either the supplied AC adapter or the battery pack.

3.INPUT:  Use this jack to connect your guitar to the amplifier by means of a shield- ed instrument cable.

4. GAIN: Use this control to adjust the amount of gain for the Medium Gain and High Gain profiles. The amount of gain varies, depend- ing on the profile selected. The more gain, the more distortion. The Gain control has no effect when a Clean profile is selected.

5.TONE: Use this control to “dial in” the

tone. Rotating this control counter-clockwise results in a darker sound, while rotating it clockwise will give you a brighter sound.

6. MASTER: Use this control to adjust the overall output level of the amplifier.

7.PROFILES: Use this switch to select one of 11 different amplifier profiles. These profiles simulate the sound of 11 popular amplifiers. There are two clean profiles, four

medium gain profiles, and five high gain pro- files. More information about these profiles is provided on page 7.

8.DELAY: Use this control to select the type of digital delay effect. When the control is straight up (12 o’clock), the delay effect is bypassed. Turning the control to the

left (counterclockwise) provides five differ- ent presets of multi-repeat delay settings. Turning the control to the right (clockwise) results in four different presets of single- repeat delay settings. The last position in the clockwise direction turns on the A-440 Hz tuner. It provides a repeating 440 Hz tuning fork tone as a tuning reference.

9.EFFECTS: Use this control to select

one of ten digital modulation effects. When the control is straight up (12 o’clock), the modulation effects are bypassed. More information about these effects is provided on page 8.

10.REVERB: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital reverb effect. In its fully counterclockwise position, the signal will be “dry” (without reverb). As you rotate this control clockwise, the amount of reverb increases.
