Preparation for recording

1) Connect headphones to the [PHONES] jack.
2) Set the [INPUT A SELECT] switch to "GUITAR".
<Notes>
• To record an external microphone or line
output signal such as a keyboard output, set the
[INPUT A SELECT] switch to "MIC/LINE".
To record a built-in microphone sound, set the
[INPUT A SELECT] switch to "INT MIC".
When setting the switch to "MIC/LINE", you can
use the microphone simulation effect (see page
30 and 38).
• When recording a guitar sound with the [INPUT
A SELECT] switch set to "GUITAR", you can use
the amplifier simulation effect. Try each of three
simulation types (see page 30 and 38).
