8-11k Hz range. A normal bright switch works only in the 3-5k Hz range leaving your sound
somewhat flat. Single or dual coil pickups will determine the level of this control.
dSP EffECTS SECTION
14. SmaRT EffECTS™ adjuST
The 24-BIT processor provides a host of great sounding effects including FlanGe,
reVerB, eCHO, & CHOruS. Turn up the leVel control to 5 as a starting position. Turn
the leVel higher if more effect signal is desired. Use the SeleCT and the aDJuST controls to
get the desired effect. Each channel now has its own effects. Move the eFFeCTS aDJuST
and SeleCT controls to the desired effect for each channel. Smart effects™ will auto-
matically store your last selected effect settings for each channel and will recall them
when you switch between channels. As you select each channel, notice that the 1 /2 leD
next to the leVel control changes color to match the channel LED color to indicate that
the effects has been changed. The settings are stored in memory even when the amp
has been turned off. To change the stored effect, simply select a new effect. note: The
SeleCT and the aDJuST controls do not rotate to their stored settings. Make note of your
favorite effect settings.
15. EffECT PaRamETERS
Each of the four effects has a variable parameter that can be easily adjusted. Each "SELECT" &
"PARAMETER" is described below.
a) eCHO: SeleCT the amount of the regeneration (repeating). Now select the aDJuST
control for the shortest or longest delay time between the original signal and the echo.
B) reVerB: SeleCT the amount of presence (high frequencies) in the reverb. Now turn the
aDJuST control to provide the minimum or maximum decay.
C) CHOruS: SeleCT the amount of reverb with your chorus. Now turn the aDJuST control
to increase the depth.
D) FlanGe: SeleCT the amount of speed with your flange (phasing effect). Now turn the
aDJuST control to increase the depth.
16. SX200 & SX200h alTERNaTE REVERB SYSTEm
The SX200 & SX200H also features an alternate reverb system that is independent from
the Smart effects™ system. By pushing in the reVerB SwiTCH, you have a modest
amount of reverb added to both channels to enhance your sound. The FS22 footswitch
does not externally control this reverb, which allows you to have reverb on at all times
whether Smart effects™ are ON or OFF.
17. EffECTS OuTPuT lEVEl CONTROl
The effects leVel control is used to set the amount of effects you want blended into
your guitar. This control affects the overall effect levels including the alternate reverb
system featured on the SX200. note: The effects level is not controlled by the Smart

19. fOOTSwITCh
Carvin's FS22 dual footswitch is recommended for remote channel switching and DSP
effects ON/OFF switching. Most foot pedals with 2 switches featuring a stereo plug will
work. For channel switching, be sure that the 1/2 CHannel select switch between the
channels is in the "OUT" position. If only CH 2 works, the 1/2 channel select switch is
in the wrong position.
20. hEadPhONE
The stereo HeaDPHOne 1/4" jack is "CABINET VOICED" to prevent excessive highs.
This greatly reduces ear fatigue.
21. CaBINET VOICEd lINE OuT OuTPuT
The voiced 1/4" line OuT gives the same response as if you were micing the speaker. Special
equalization reduces the harsh highs that are normally associated with a line out signal.
22. SPEaKER OuTPuT
A 1/4" SPeaker OuTPuT is featured to operate an extension speaker system. The
minimum impedance of an extention speaker for the SX50, SX100 is 8Ω. The SX200
and SX200H has a switchable impedance of 4, 8 and 16 ohms. Set this accordingly
when adding additional speakers. iMPOrTanT: TO inSure THaT THe SX200 DOeS

23. EffECTS lOOP (SENd & RETuRN) (SX200/h ONlY)
Although the SX200 has built-in effects, you may want to use its separate effects loop. For
the lowest noise from a pedal effect, use this effects loop instead of plugging the guitar into the
effects and then into the amp. To use the eFFeCTS lOOP, plug the input of your effects into
the SenD jack and the output of your effects into the reTurn jack. Use shielded cables.

24. aC POwER & fuSE
The aC POwer COrD is designed to operate with any voltage from 90-250VAC, 50-
60Hz. Plug the cord into a grounded "3" prong" power source. No attempt should ever
be made to defeat or use the amp without the ground connected.
The
internal FuSe is located inside the chassis. This is not user serviceable. Contact
