Exploring the Coolfire’s effects

The Coolfire isn’t just a great sounding acoustic guitar amplifier. It also contains an advanced, stereo effects processor dedicated exclusively to enhancing the sound of acoustic guitars. Compression, tailored EQ curves, choruses, reverbs, and much more allow you to enhance your acoustic guitar’s sound in a variety of traditional and unconventional ways.

Begin by exploring the Coolfire’s default programs. Turn the Effect knob all the way to the left to select Play. Now, play your guitar and explore the programs by pressing the Program Up and Program Down buttons, twisting the Value knob, or by using optional footswitches attached to the rear of the unit.

You’ll hear programs ranging from ultra-clean to rocking to washy. If you have the chance, be sure to plug a pair of stereo headphones into the back of the Coolfire to experience these effects in stereo. Some of the effects – good as they are coming out of the Coolfire’s internal speakers – really come alive in stereo.

Modifying the effects programs

There’s a lot more to the Coolfire’s effects than just what’s in the presets. The Coolfire has eight separate effect modules, as shown below:

These effects are accessed using the EFFECT knob on the front of the Coolfire.

Move the EFFECT knob clockwise out of the Play position in order to edit the effects. Once you change an effect, the EDITED LED on the bottom right of the display will light. From left to right, here are your options:
