*To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

*Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5 or BOSS FV- 300L; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

Turning the Power On

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

*This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. You should also turn down the volume level to protect the unit from any sudden peak in volume. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
