1. POWER: Use this switch to turn the amplifier on (top of the switch depressed) and off (bottom of
the switch depressed). The switch illuminates when the power is on.
2. REV: Use this control to adjust the amount of the digital reverb effect. In its fully counter clockwise
position the signal is “dry” (without any reverb). As you rotate the control clockwise the amount of
reverb increases. The Reverb setting may be saved as a channel preset - see page 8.
3. TAP/SAVE LED: This LED flashes in time with the tempo set by the Tap/Save button (#4) and
serves as a status indicator for certain DSP activities (see page 8).
NOTE: For some of the DSP effects, the Tap/Save LED remains illuminated. The Tap/Save LED does not
illuminate when the DSP knobs are set to the Bypass position.
4. TAP/SAVE: Use this pushbutton to set the tempo of many of the effects by tapping the button
repeatedly in time with the desired tempo. The Tap/Save button is also used to save DSP presets
and to restore the factory default DSP settings. Additional information about the Tap/Save button is
on pages 7 and 8.
5. DSP DELAY: Use this control to select one of the fifteen digital Delay effects. Complete informa-
tion about the DSP effects is on page 7.
6. DSP MULTI: Use this control to select one of the fifteen digital “Multi” effects. Complete informa-
tion about the DSP effects is on page 7.
7. ELECTRONIC TUNER: The electronic tuner is active whenever the amplifier is turned on, provid-
ing constant, “real time” tuning. The bottom row of LEDs indicate which note (string) is being tuned.
The top row of LEDs provides directional queues to facilitate quick and precise tuning of your instru-
ment. The indicated note (string) is properly tuned when only the center LED is illuminated.
8. MUTE: This switch, when depressed, mutes the output signals at the Speaker jacks (#30) and the
Line Out jack (#28), allowing you to silently tune or switch instruments. The switch illuminates when
the Mute function is active.
9. CHANNEL 3 SELECT: This switch, when depressed, selects Channel 3 as the active channel.
The switch illuminates when Channel 3 is active. Channel 3 features a high gain FlexWave circuit for
extreme distortion and sustain.
