GX-212 Amplifier

1:INPUT: Connect your guitar here by means of a shielded instrument cable.

OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: A high gain channel giving you sounds from a slight edge to serious overdrive.

2:GAIN 1: Gain 1 is active only when the Gain Select switch (#5) is out. When active, this con- trol adjusts the amount of compression and dis- tortion from the amplifier. At far left, the sound will have a thick compressed quality. As you turn the control to the right the amount of distortion increases. Gain 1 produces less intense distor- tion than Gain 2.

3:GAIN 2: Gain 2 is active only when the Gain Select switch (#5) is depressed. When active, this control adjusts the amount of compression and distortion from the amplifier. At far left, the sound will have a thick compressed quality. As you turn the control to the right the amount of distortion increases. Gain 2 produces more intense distortion than Gain 1 .

4:SHAPE: Working in conjunction with the Gain 2 control, rotate the Shape control until you find the sound you’re looking for. Rotating the control counter-clockwise enhances the mid frequen- cies; rotating it clockwise enhances the low and high frequencies. (This control is only effective when Gain 2 is selected.)

5:GAIN SELECT: Use this switch to select Gain

1 (switch out) or Gain 2 (switch depressed). A footswitch (#21) overrides this switch.

6:LOW: Use this control to adjust the low fre- quency output level of the Overdrive channel. This control provides a range of 11dB at 80Hz.

7:HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high fre- quency output level of the Overdrive channel. This control provides a range of 10dB at 10kHz.

8:LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Overdrive Channel. Use this control along with the Gain and Shape controls (#2, 3 & 4) to create a wide variety of sounds.

9:CHANNEL SELECT: Use this switch to select the Clean channel (switch out) or the Overdrive channel (switch depressed). One of the triangu- lar LEDs beside the switch will illuminate to indi- cated which channel is selected. A footswitch (#21) overrides this switch.

CLEAN CHANNEL: A normal gain channel designed to give you crystal clear sounds.

10:LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output level of the Clean Channel.

11:LOW: Use this control to adjust the low fre- quency output level of the Clean channel. This control provides a range of 22dB at 80Hz.

12:MID: Use this control to adjust the mid fre- quency output level of the Clean channel. This control provides a range of 14dB at 600Hz.

13:HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high fre- quency output level of the Clean channel. This control provides a range of 28dB at 10kHz.

14:REVERB LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the amount of reverberation. In the full counter- clockwise position the output signal is “dry” (no reverb); rotating the control clockwise increases the amount of reverb. The reverb can be turned on and off by means of a footswitch (see #22).

15:INSERT: Use this jack to connect an exter- nal effects device to the amplifier. Use a stereo 1/4” male Y-cord: ring = send, tip = return, sleeve = ground. See the illustration on the panel to the right for more information.
