The box and packing materials for the Loudbox Pro were specially designed to protect the amplifier during

Getting Started

The information in this section is comprised of basic setup tips intended to help get you started. To operate
the Loudbox Pro safely, please read the entire manual, especially the Important Safety Information above.
1. Set the power switch to off and connect the power cord.
If your amplifier has an operating voltage of 120V, plug the provided AC line cord into the back of the
amplifier.
If your amplifier operates at 240V, you must supply your own detachable power cord. The cord you
supply must have an IEC-style 320 connector at one end, and a male AC plug appropriate for your area
at the other.
2. Plug the Loudbox Pro into an electrical outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
NOTE: Do not defeat the ground prong on the AC cable; the safe operation of this
amplifier depends on a proper ground connection.
3. Push in the Mute switch and turn on the Power switch.
4. Connect your instrument to the Channel 1 input with a shielded ¼" cable.
5. Set the Channel 1 Gain to 7 o'clock (off).
6. Set the controls as illustrated below.
