Quick Start

A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PLAY GUITAR FIRST, AND READ THE MANUAL LATER!

ep, you’re right, the vast majority of manuals are about as interesting as Ywatching paint dry and we know that you’re anxious to plug in to your new

ToneLab and give it a whirl in the comfort of your home. So, here’s a “Quick Start” to get you up and running in a heartbeat.

First we’ll get you started quickly using the preset programs. Then we’ll explain how to use the knobs and switches of the amp and effect sections to cre- ate your own sounds.

Once you’ve satisfied your primal urge to play, I’d like to urge you to give this manual a chance - it’s been written by a fellow guitar nut and boasts some killer bells “n” whistles that’ll warrant your interest. In short, it’ll be worth your while, we promise. I look forward to talking you through the ToneLab in more detail once you’re done....

HINT: Want life to be easy? Of course you do! For this reason I suggest you fold out the inside back cover of this manual before you go any further.

HINT: Why? So you can see the pretty pictures of the Top Panel and Rear Panel it contains while you’re going through the “Quick Start,” that’s why!

SETUP

1.If you’re going to connect ToneLab to a mixer or recorder, set the rear panel AMP/LINE switch (9.1) to “LINE,” and connect the OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO and R) (9.2) to the input jacks of your mixer or recorder. If you’re monitoring through headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack (5.2).

If you’re connecting ToneLab to a guitar amp for playing live, set the rear panel AMP/LINE switch to “AMP” and connect the L/MONO output jack to the input jack of your guitar amp.

NOTE: If you’re connecting ToneLab to something that only has a mono input, just use the L/MONO jack.

NOTE: If you’re connecting ToneLab to two amplifiers to run in stereo, take the L/ MONO and R output jacks and connect them to the inputs on each amplifier.

2.Turn the LEVEL knob (9.3) on the rear panel of ToneLab all the way to the left, setting the volume to 0.

3.Plug the supplied AC/AC power supply into ToneLab’s rear panel AC9V power inlet (6.1), and plug the power supply into an AC wall socket.

4.Plug your guitar into the front panel INPUT jack (5.1).
