Turn On The Br-1180/1180Cd - Boss BR-1180 Owner's Manual

* Use only the specified expression pedal (Roland EV-5; sold
separately). By connecting any other expression pedal, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
* The expression pedal connected to the EXP PEDAL jack is
designed so that the range of adjustment is widest when the
minimum volume is at "0." First make sure that the minimum
volume is at "0," and then adjust the minimum volume to
your taste. The expression pedal can be used to operate the
following effects.
• Foot Volume (p. 152)
• Pitch Shifter (p. 155)
• Wah (p. 158)
These can be controlled simultaneously from the expression
pedal. If you wish to use the pedal to control only one effect,
you can either turn off the unneeded effects, or set the effect
type (P.Shift Type, Wah Type) to a setting other than
"PEDAL."
* Howling could be produced depending on the location of
microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from
speakers.
3. Lowering volume levels.
* The MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks/connectors are compatible with
balanced inputs using TRS phone plugs and XLR balanced
inputs. Additionally, you can provide +48 V phantom power
when a condenser mic is connected to an XLR connector. For
detailed instructions on using this feature, refer to "Using
condenser mics" (p. 137).
