Owner's Manual

8. Gain

Use the Gain knob to set the level of the signal. If the Clip LED flashes when you play, lower the Gain until the flashing stops. If either channel is unused, set its Gain to 7 o’clock (off).

9. Low

Boost here to add weight to the sound. In general, boost bass at low volumes and flatten it out (or cut) at higher levels. With the dial set at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of the circuit.

10. Mid

This control affects how well the instrument blends in or stands out in the mix. At loud volumes a midrange cut will achieve a more natural sound. With the dial set at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of the circuit.

11. High

Boost highs to add “air” to the sound of the instrument. With the knob set at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of the circuit.

12. Anti-Feedback

If you encounter low-frequency feedback, sweep this control to isolate and eliminate it. Many guitars will benefit with the Anti-Feedback knob set at about 10 o’clock. The Anti Feedback filter is off at the 7 o’clock position.

To read more about acoustic feedback, see page 11.

13. Phase

Use the phase switch in conjunction with the Anti-Feedback filter to eliminate acoustic feedback.

To read more about acoustic feedback, see page 11.

14. FX Level

Controls the amount of digital effects in the channel. Generally set this above the Master FX Level.

18.

Headphone Jack

 

 

 

 

When you plug in stereo headphones here, the speakers shut off. This output monitors Channels 1 & 2 and the Aux input, so you can play along with pre-recorded music through the headphones.

19. Aux Level

Use this to control the level of the device you plug into the Aux Input. Note that the Aux channel is independent of the Mute switch, so you can play pre-recorded music on your breaks. If the Aux channel is unused, set the Aux level to off.

20. Mute

The Mute switch shuts off the signals from Channels 1 and 2 to the speakers and all the XLR outputs. The mute does not affect the Aux Channel, the Tuner Out or the effects sends.
