Your new Acoustasonic™ Junior amplifier delivers Fender
tone that today's musicians demand and the rock solid
quality that sound engineers have depended on for more
than 50 years. Here 's a preview of some of the
Acoustasonic Junior's features:
• 40 watts of power per channel @ 8Ω (80 Watts R.M.S.
To t a l )
• Classic Fender reverb and chorus for a full-bodied tone.
• Two 8" woofers and a piezo horn for clean, powerful
response.
• Two independent channels with individual tone con-
trols, voiced for acoustic instruments and vocals.
A. INSTRUMENT - Plug your guitar in here.
B. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the instru-
ment channel.
C. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level of the
instrument channel.
D. MID - Adjusts the middle-frequency level of the instru-
ment channel .
E. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level of the instru-
ment channel .
F. FEEDBACK NOTCH - By S L O W LY rotating this knob you
can fine and suppress feedback at a specific fre q u e n c y.
G. REVERB - Activates the reverb effect on the instrument
channel.
H. STRING DYNAMICS - Controls a dynamic tone shap-
ing filter on the instrument channel. Rotating the knob
clockwise reduces high-frequency "harshness" when
playing at high volumes while maintaining "crispness"
when playing at lower levels.
I. MIC - Plug your microphone in here. This three-pin
XLR, balanced, female input connector is intended for
input signals from low-impedance microphones.
J. LINE/INST - This 1/4-inch TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) input
jack is suited for line-level equipment such as high-
impedance microphones, keyboards and dru m
machines. It accepts both balanced and unbalanced
inputs.
K. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the mic / line
channel.
L. PHASE - Reverses the phase of the mic / line channel
useful for eliminating feedback in instruments using
dual-pickup configurations.
M. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level of the mic /
line channel .
N. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level of the mic / line
channel.
