from minimum to intermediate and to maximum and vice versa, and verify
that the LEDs light up and the speaker plays sound.
1. GUITAR CHANNEL BASS
2. GUITAR CHANNEL MIDDLE
3. GUITAR CHANNEL TREBLE
4. REVERB/AMBIENCE
5. MASTER
6. MIC/LINE CHANNEL TREBLE
7. MIC/LINE CHANNEL BASS
On detection of minimum value:
On detection of intermediate value:
On detection of maximum value:
The volume level of the speaker sound increases as the control is operated
toward the maximum position, and from the intermediate position on, the
pitch rises.
When all volume testing has been completed, all LEDs flash.
This concludes the testing.

4. Signal-level Test (for Reference)
After 3. Volume Test (1) has been completed, depress TIP:CHORUS (white)
to enter the Signal-level Test mode.
1.
When verifying speaker output, connect a 4Ω load resistor to the speaker
lines. When verifying headphones output, connect a 1/4-inch stereo
phone plug with 100Ω load resistors (x 2) to the PHONES jack.
2.
Connect a 1/4-inch phone plug with a 47 kΩ load resistor to the LINE
OUT jack.
3.
Connect a signal generator to the INPUT or AUX IN jack and input the
signal described below.
GUITAR CHANNEL INPUT:
MIC/LINE CHANNEL INPUT (balanced):
AUX IN L and R:
* 0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms
4.
Set the panel controls as shown below.
CHORUS:
ANTI-FEEDBACK:
GUITAR CHANNEL VOLUME:
MIC/LINE CHANNEL VOLUME:
AUX IN LEVEL:
Other controls:
5.
Verify the values at the measurement points shown in the Circuit
Diagram (Main Board: Analog) (p. 28).
The allowed range for measured values is ±1.5 dBu.
5. Volume Test (2)
1.
Reset the power and start the unit in the normal usage state.
2.
Input a signal to GUITAR CHANNEL INPUT, turn the GUITAR
CHANNEL VOLUME control, and verify that the volume level changes
normally and that no noise occurs.
