This "Quick-Start Guide" is intended to get you acquainted with
the basic connection and operation of the processor. Three basic
methods of connection are shown here: using an effects loop,
using an insert jack, and the direct-into-the-amp method.
This section doesn't cover advanced usage, such as effects
parameter modifications and saving of new programs, or explain
how to use the unit with footswitches, or get you into the
metronome function. It will, however, get you started quickly on
your GFX/BFX experience.
1) Turn your amplifier OFF before connecting the processor.
2) Plug the small connector of the power supply into the power jack
on the back of the unit.
3) Plug the power supply into a wall outlet (power strip, extension
cord, etc.) The unit automatically turns itself on.
4) Connect your instrument and the processor to your amplifier in
one of the following manners: (See to the drawings on the facing
page.)
A: USING AN EFFECTS LOOP: SEND jack of the effects loop to the
R/MONO IN jack of the processor. R/MONO OUT of the processor
to the RETURN jack of the effects loop. Connect your instrument
to your amp as usual.
B: USING AN INSERT JACK: INSERT jack of the amp to the INSERT
(STANDARD) jack of the processor. Use a stereo cable. If your insert jack
is inverting, plug into the INSERT (INVERTED) jack of the processor.
Connect your instrument to your amp as usual.
C: DIRECT-INTO-THE-AMP: (Not the preferred method.) Output of your
instrument to the R/MONO IN jack of the processor. R/MONO OUT
of the processor to the INPUT jack of your amp.
NOTE: Any other effects and signal processors should be con-
nected between your instrument and the processor; the processor
should be the last link of the chain going into your amplifier.
5) Turn on your amp and set its volume to your normal playing level.
6) Turn your instrument volume up and play as hard as you intend to.
7) Adjust the INPUT control on the processor until its CLIP LED
flashes, then reduce the Input slightly. (The aim is to have the level
as high as it can be without the CLIP LED flashing at all during
play.)
8) Start with the MIX and OUTPUT controls on the processor at the
half-way points, then adjust to taste.
You can get a good feel for the effects available just by running
through the presets, and by turning the PROGRAM dial. A listing
of effects is printed on pages 12 (GFX) and 13 (BFX). Enjoy your
new effects processor, of course; but, please, read this manual!
