Using the CR-4 as a guitar combo

To use the CR-4 as a very portable guitar combo, with built-in amp modeling and built- in effects:

1Connect your guitar to track 1. Press the

[REC/OL] button and adjust the [TRIM] and fader levels (→p.10).

2Switch track 1’s [EFFECT] switch on, and

select your amp/speaker model and effects (→p.14).

...............3 Now you can play Adjust the overall vol-

ume with the [MASTER] fader

Using the CR-4 as a pre-amplifier

If the CR-4’s speakers aren’t loud enough for you, use the [LINE OUT] jacks to connect to a suitable stereo input of another system, allow- ing you to use the amp/speaker modeling and effects through a larger system.

Be sure that the input of the other system matches the output of the CR-4 (see the specifications). You can damage the CR-4 and the other equipment if they do not match.

Simply press the [REC/OL] button of any tracks that you want to output through the other system. After setting the [TRIM] levels, adjust the pan position [PAN] and level (fad- ers) of each track.

The [MASTER] fader is probably best left at the

[7]or [8] position. Adjust the overall level with the other unit’s volume control.

You can use the CR-4 to do solo gigs in this way, if you’ve recorded your backing on two tracks of a CR-4 cassette. Play back these backing tracks, with a microphone connected to one of the unused tracks, and a guitar connected to the other. You can use a separate guitar processor or stomp box to give one set of effects for the guitar, and use the CR-4’s reverb to add some depth and warmth to your vocals.
