Product Overview

1.Load MPX G2 program 249 Unity Gain.

2.Plug your guitar directly into your amp and set the guitar volume to a comfortable listening level.

3.Put your amp on standby — or turn it off.

4.Unplug your guitar from the amp and connect the MPX G2 rear panel Send jack to the input of your guitar amp.

5.Connect your guitar to the MPX G2 front panel Guitar input.

6.Set the MPX G2 front panel Input knob to 2 o’clock.

7.Select your guitar’s most powerful pickup, turn the guitar volume control up all the way and play your loudest.

8.Watch the Level and Clip LEDs above the MPX G2 Input/Output knob. If the red Clip LED comes on more than just occasionally during your very loudest playing, back off the Input knob a bit. (With some guitars, the red LED may never come on — that’s OK.) Now that you’ve got the Input knob set for your loudest playing, feel free to change the controls of your guitar to any settings you like as you audition the MPX G2.

9.Press Bypass to bypass the program. (The Bypass LED will turn on.)

10Take your amp out of standby (or turn it on) and play. The volume and tone of the guitar should be the same as when you were plugged directly into the amp, thanks to the MPX G2 built-in relay bypass.

11.Press Bypass again to make the program active. (The Bypass LED will turn off). Play and compare this level with the bypassed level — they should be very close.

12.With the program active, adjust the position of the MPX G2 Input knob to match the bypassed loudness.

Now you’re ready to start listening to the Amp Input Only programs (100-149).
