FAQ Frequently Asked Questions:

1.Does using the Footswitch disable any features on the front panel?

ANSWER: No, any settings on the Footswitch that are repeated on the front panel can be changed using either the Footswitch or front panel buttons.

2.Can I use a different Footswitch with this amp, or use a different amp with this footswitch? ANSWER: No. The KAC-FSWAV Footswitch supplied with your amp is the only one compatible. Do not use the KAC-FSWAV Footswitch on other third party amplifiers even if the CAT5 cable fits the Footswitch jack. Use only with Kustom WAV® series amps.

3.How are the line outputs different from the preamp output on the rear panel?

ANSWER: The Line outputs signal is taken from the power amp speaker outputs and attenuated 30 db so it can be used with powered speakers and monitors to give an accurate reproduction of the sound from the internal speakers. These jacks cannot be used with an effects loop because it is after the power amp in.

The Preamp outputs are before the power amp inputs. These are best to use with third party signal processors or effects.

4.There is a low frequency hum in our PA when I connect the line level outputs to it. Any suggestions?

ANSWER: What you are most likely hearing is a ground loop hum. This happens when the AC outlets used by the PA and WAV® 210 are on two different circuits. One way to correct this is to plug the WAV® 210 into the same AC circuit as the PA. On larger PAs, several AC circuits may be used or the outlets on the same circuit are too far away to be practical. In this situation, a direct box will be needed (two if Stereo) to convert the un-balanced line outputs on the WAV® 210 to balanced line outputs. If the direct box has a ground lift switch, be sure it’s in the “lifted” position. To prevent an electrical hazard, DO NOT attempt to correct the ground loop problem by lifting or removing the AC ground pin on the power cord.

5.Why don’t you have external speakers jacks on the amp?

ANSWER: The solid state power amp circuits are specially designed to deliver optimum performance to the internal Celestion speakers. Adding external speakers would compromise this match.

6.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 press the effects button every time I switch between lead and rhythm channels?

ANSWER: Yes, select the rhythm channel and the Favorites Bank you want to store the setting in. Select “bypass” in all 3 groups for the effects to use. Press the “Save” button. Now select the Lead channel and set the 3 effect groups for desired sound and press “Save”. Now press the Lead channel “Boost on” button and set the 3 effect groups for desired sound and press Save again.

7.I get different effects when switching channels. Is there something wrong?

ANSWER: No. One of the features of the effects is having the presets track the channels when switched. This is especially useful when playing live by allowing the musician to spend more time performing and less time changing amplifier and effect settings.

8.On the display, what causes an effects group to have a blank level display?

ANSWER: If an effects group is bypassed, the level is blank because there is nothing to adjust.

9.The amplifier has a mono input, so how does the amp have a stereo output?

ANSWER: The preamp is in mono up to the digital effects. The digital effects processor has a mono input with a stereo output. Both speakers will produce the same sound when the effects are not active or all three groups are bypassed.

10.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 presets so I

don’t have to press the Reverb button first before adjusting the level ?

ANSWER: Yes, and it’s a simple thing to do. Go to

the preset you want (Ex: Favorites 1 Rhythm), press the Reverb Group Button, then press the Save Button. All of your setting are the same except now the Reverb Group will be the selected Effect Group for that preset.
