Introduction
How to Use This Manual
A little technical knowledge will help you get the most out of your gear...it’s really pretty simple. This manual is divided into the following sections describing the various functions and applications for the Smashup. While it's a good idea to read through the entire manual once carefully, those having general knowledge about effect devices should use the table of contents to look up specific functions.
Chapter 1: Quick Start. If you're already experienced with effect boxes, this will get you started using the Smashup right away. It's a short guide to the essential elements of hooking it up and using it for the first time. A brief tour of the front and rear panels also directs you to the chapters focused on individual features.
Chapter 2: Connections gives detailed instructions for connecting the Smashup to a variety of typical audio systems. It also discusses the process of linking the Smashup with other ModFX devices.
Chapter 3: Using the Smashup explains the controls of the Smashup and their functions.
Chapter 4: Sample Settings provides a selection of sound charts created by the sound designers at Alesis for you to try.
Near the end of the manual are troubleshooting tips, specifications, and an index to help you find what you're looking for.
