While making it easy to obtain the most delicate of nuances, it also allows for radically unique settings as well. • The GEB-7 allows you to adjust the output level of the equalized sound so it matches the level of the input sound.
PANEL DESCRIPTIONS AC Adaptor Jack Accepts connection of an AC Adaptor (op- tionally available BOSS PSA-Series). By using an AC Adaptor, you can play without being concerned about how much battery power you have left. * You may find that it is a good idea to keep a battery installed in the unit even while using an adaptor.
CHECK Indicator This indicator shows whether an effect is ON/OFF, and also doubles as the Battery Check indicator. The indicator lights when an effect is ON. If this indicator goes dim or no longer lights while an effect is ON, the battery is near exhaustion and should be replaced imme- diately.
