5)Set the track 1 fader and [MASTER] fader to the nominal position (marked by “ ”).

Raising these faders allows you to monitor the input sound. If these faders are not raised, you cannot monitor the sound via headphones.

"" is shown on the screen.

7)While playing the guitar, adjust the recording level using the [TRIM] control on the [INPUT A] section.

The screen shows the input level of track 1, as well as the output levels of the stereo outputs (L and R). Turning the [PHONES VOL] control clockwise raises the headphone monitor level.

Adjust the built-in distortion effect level using the [GUITAR DISTORTION] control.

<Note>

Adjust the [TRIM] control properly so that the PEAK indicator does not light at the loudest part of the guitar sound. If the input level is too high, the PEAK indicator lights and the sound may be distorted or noisy.

<Tip>

When receiving a line level signal, set the [TRIM] control to left ("LINE") to get the appropriate level. When receiving a microphone signal (ex- ternal or internal), set the [TRIM] control to right ("MIC") to get the appropriate level.
