Let's start from the right, as you are looking at the Rear Panel and go through the features one at a time. We are starting from the right because the more frequently used features begin here, as you have probably already experienced.

CHANNEL SELECT	This rotary control engages the two channels and their Modes of operation.									CHANNEL SELECT

choose the desired mode of operation. To use the M-2000Foot Controller, set the CHANNEL SELECT

Rotary Switch to the "Footswitch" position. The M-2000may also be controlled via an external switching										SWITCH	HI GAIN

source that uses 1/4 inch "tip to ground" ports. This way, the M-2000can easily be interfaced to existing

MIDI controlled systems, allowing instant access to the Modes under MIDI program change commands.										MUTE	GAIN
Set the CHANNEL SELECT to "EXT" and connect the six 1/4 inch jacks found in the EXTERNAL SELECT
section (far left of the Rear Panel) to the switching source. Unshielded cable is preferable for this
application. Trigger the M-2000Modes by programming your switching system to "ground" the
corresponding M-2000External Select jack to bring up the Mode of your choice under a given MIDI										FOOTSWITCH
program number.
FOOTSWITCH FUNCTION ASSIGN		This mini-toggle switch programs			the	GAIN	switch	on	the	FOOTSWITCH

purpose in the switching scheme of the M-2000. It may be used in its normal mode to select the TUBE										MUTE
Channel's HI-GAIN Mode. In this case, set the FOOTSWITCH FUNCTION ASSIGN Switch to the GAIN
(right) position. This toggle switch may also be used in conjunction with the TUNER Output to										FOOTSWITCH
produce a "silent tuning" mode for stage use.
										FUNCTION ASSIGN
Connect a tuner to the 1/4 inch jack labeled TUNER OUTPUT (located just to the left of the 6 pin										MUTE	GAIN
XLR Footswitch jack.)	Select "MUTE" with the FOOTSWITCH FUNCTION ASSIGN (toggle
switch to the left.) When the GAIN switch is selected on the M-2000Foot Controller, all
sound to the power section will be muted and the instrument signal will pass straight								TUNER		FOOTSWITCH
through to the TUNER OUTPUT jack.								OUTPUT
