2. WIRING TIPS

The illustration on the next page shows you how to connect your guitar to the amplifier.

If you want to use an effects pedal (for example, the BEHRINGER X V-AMP) to experiment with some out-of-the- ordinary sounds, you can connect your guitar directly to the input of the effects processor. Then, connect a second cable from the effects output to the input on your guitar amp.

If you have an electronic tuner, please be sure to insert it pre effects device, so that the tuner only receives a dry signal without effects components.

X V-AMP: no additional tuner required.

+The built-in loudspeaker is disabled automatically

when you plug in the headphone .
