Johnson Mirage User’s Guide Section Two - Using the JT50/JT100

Foot Controller Connections

The Mirage JT50 and JT100 provide the option of being controlled remotely with the JT3 Footswitch or J8 Footcontroller. On the rear panel you will find a single 5 pin DIN jack for connecting the optional J8 foot controller. Simply use the cable provided with the J8 to connect it to the controller input on the JT50/JT100. The J8 provides several access options and adds a tuner and Wah capabilities to the Mirage Amps.

See page 11 for more information on using the J8 with the Mirage. The JT3 can be connected to the JT3 jack on the back of the JT50/JT100 using a 1/4” stereo TRS cable. See page 11 for more information.

Warning: Do not connect anything other than the J8 to the J8 controller jack on the back of the JT50/JT100. Doing so may damage the device.

Powering the JT50/JT100

Once the necessary connections have been made, turn the master volume on the JT50/JT100 all the way down (counterclockwise). Turn the power switch located on the rear panel to the “on” position. Begin playing the guitar and gradually increase the master volume until the desired level is achieved.

Creating or Editing a Preset

The Mirage JT50 and JT100 have made preset creation very simple. The layout of the Amp and Effects on the control panel make editing as easy as turning a knob. When creating a Preset in the Mirage JT50/JT100, you must start by selecting an existing Preset. It is not possible to start with a blank Preset.

Selecting a Preset

The JT50/JT100 come with 21 different Presets from the factory. To select a preset, simply rotate the Bank Select knob and press one of the 1-3 Preset buttons located on the far right side of the control panel. Once you have selected a Preset as your starting point, you can choose an Amp Type, set the Gain, EQ, and Level of the amp, add your choice of Modulation or Pitch Shifting Effects, and tailor the Delay and Reverb to create that classic tone you’ve been looking for, or your own signature sound.

Selecting an Amp Model

The 12 Amp Models available with the JT50/JT100 can be selected by rotating the Amp Type knob until the pointer lines up with the desired Model. The Amp Models available are as follow:

Blues Combo - a driving distorted combo tone Black Face - based on a ‘65 Fender Twin Reverb Tweed - based on a ‘57 Fender Tweed Deluxe Boutique - based on a Matchless DC30

Hot Rod Combo - based on a Mesa Boogie Mark II C Johnson Clean - a clean combo setting
