1. Set the (INPUT) 1 knob and the VOLUME knob to
the minimum position, and connect your guitar to the
INPUT 1 jack.
2. Use the (INPUT) 1 knob to adjust the input level.
To avoid signal clipping (signal that's too loud) this knob
should be adjusted so that the peak LED doesn't light up
when signal is being loudly input.
3. While playing your guitar, use the VOLUME knob to
adjust the volume that is output from the speakers.
4. Use the TREBLE knob and BASS knob to adjust the
tone.
5. As necessary, use the REVERB knob to adjust the effect.
You can apply a reverb effect to the signals from the MIC
IN jack, INPUT 1 jack, and INPUT 2 jack.
Tip: If you're using a VOX VFS5 foot switch, you can use
it to turn reverb on/off.
6. If you enable the Acoustage function by pressing the
[ACOUSTAGE] button, the audio output from the
STAGEMAN 80 will be heard in an expansive stereo
field.
When the Acoustage function is enabled the wide stereo
effect will be applied to all audio signals output from the
STAGEMAN 80.
