Channel 1 & 2 Controls
Channel 1 and 2 are for use with microphones, guitars, keyboards,
or other instruments. The channel inputs are suitable for a wide
range of input types and will have the proper gain staging to
minimize noise when the channel volume is set for the desired
output level.

appropriate cable.

microphone or instrument—by pressing the Channel ToneMatch
Button until the LED for your chosen preset is illuminated.
Use MIC for microphones and use INST for acoustic guitars

two seconds to mute the reverb. While reverb is muted, Reverb

seconds while Reverb is selected. Reverb mute will reset when
