1. Does using the Footswitch disable any features on
the front panel?
2. Can I use a different Footswitch with this amp, or
use a different amp with this footswitch?
3. How are the line outputs differentfrom the
preamp output on the rearpanel?
4. There is a low frequencyhum in our PA when I
connect the line level outputs to it.Any
suggestions?
5. Why don’t you have external speakers jacks on
the amp?
6.
7. I get different effects when switching channels. Is
there something wrong?
8. On the display,what causes an effects group to
have a blank level display?
ANSWER: No, any settings on the Footswitch that are
repeatedon the front panel can be changed using
either the Footswitch or frontpanel buttons.
ANSWER: No. The KAC-FSWAVFootswitch supplied
with your amp is the only one compatible. Do not use
the Footswitch on other thirdparty
amplifiers even if the CAT5cable fits the Footswitch
jack. Use only with Kustom series amps.
ANSWER: The Line outputs signal is taken fromthe
power amp speaker outputs and attenuated 30 db so
it can be used with poweredspeakers and monitors to
give an accurate reproductionof the sound from the
internal speakers. These jacks cannot be used with an
effects loop because it is after the power amp in.
The Preampoutputs are before the power amp inputs.
These arebest to use with third party signal
processorsor effects.
ANSWER: What you aremost likely hearing is a
groundloop hum. This happens when the AC outlets
used by the PAand 210 are on two different
circuits.One way to correct this is to plug the
210 into the same AC circuitas the PA. On larger
PAs,several AC circuits may be used or the outlets
on the same circuitare too far away to be practical.
In this situation, a directbox will be needed (two if
Stereo)to convert the un-balanced line outputs on the
210 to balanced line outputs. If the directbox
has a groundlift switch, be sure it’s in the “lifted”
position. Toprevent an electrical hazard, DO NOT
attempt to correctthe ground loop problem by lifting
or removingthe AC ground pin on the power cord.
ANSWER: The solid state power amp circuitsare
specially designed to deliver optimum performance to
the internal Celestion speakers. Adding external
speakers would compromisethis match.
ANSWER: No. One of the featuresof the effects is
having the presetstrack the channels when switched.
This is especially useful when playinglive by
allowing the musician to spend moretime
performing and less time changing amplifier and
effect settings.
ANSWER: If an effects groupis bypassed, the level is
blank because thereis nothing to adjust.
KAC-FSWAV
ANSWER: Yes,select the rhythm channel and the
Favorites Bank you want to storethe setting in.
Select “bypass” in all 3 groupsfor the effects to use.
Pressthe “Save” button. Now select the Lead
channel and set the 3 effect groupsfor desired sound
and press“Save”. Now press the Lead channel
“Boost on” button and set the 3 effect groupsfor
desiredsound and press Save again.
ANSWER: The preampis in mono up to the digital
effects. The digital effects processorhas a mono
input with a stereooutput. Both speakers will
producethe same sound when the effects are not
active or all threegroups are bypassed.
ANSWER: Yes,and it’s a simple thing to do. Go to
the presetyou want (Ex: Favorites 1 Rhythm), press
the Reverb GroupButton, then press the Save
Button. All of your setting arethe same except now
the Reverb Groupwill be the selected Effect Group
for that preset.
I want to use digital effects on the lead channel
and lead boost, but not on the rhythm channel. Is
there a way to do this without having to pressthe
effects button every time I switch between lead
and rhythm channels?
The amplifier has a mono input, so how does the
amp have a stereo output?
I understand the Effect Group button that is
illuminated can be controlled by the Level
without pressing the button first. On some of my
Presets, I usually need to just adjust the Reverb.
Can I set this as my default for these presetsso I
don’t have to press the Reverb button first
before adjusting the level ?
