A Tour of the Wildfire 3

Rear Panel

All three Wildfire models offer the rear-panel features described here:

Fuse FOOTSWITCH UP/DOWN INPUTS AUX INPUT SPEAKER OUTPUT

Power Cord EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT STEREO LINK OUTPUT

Fuse

The fuse protects the Wildfire from damage caused by a defective AC outlet. If this fuse blows, you must replace it.

Power Cord

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet. The AC voltage required is fixed at a single voltage based on the country in which you purchased your Wildfire. The voltage is not switchable (i.e., 110/220) or universal (i.e., 90-240). Be sure to connect it to the proper voltage as indicated in the information found on the rear panel.

FOOTSWITCH UP/DOWN Inputs

Here you can plug in standard footswitches to use for incrementing and decrementing program numbers. The foot switches work in the same way as the Program Up and Program Down buttons. These jacks accept 1/4” plugs.

EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT

This input is for an optional expression pedal, which gives you the ability to control effect parameters with your foot. All effects listed in chapter 10 that have “Pedal” in their names provide this capability. See chapter 10 for a complete list of parameters. This jack

CAUTION: Danger of fire or electrocution exists if the fuse is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type of fuse recommended by the information found next to the fuse.

We recommend that you purchase footswitches to use with your Wildfire. They aren’t very expensive, and they greatly streamline your interaction with the amplifier, particularly when playing live.
