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. REVERB: Use this control to adjust the amount of digital reverb effect. In its fully counterclock-
wise position the signal will be “dry” (without any reverb). As you rotate the control clockwise the
amount of reverb increases.
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 Save/Tap LED remains illuminated. The Save/Tap 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. DELAY: Use this control to select one of the fifteen digital delay effects. Complete information
about the DSP effects is on page 7.
6. EFFECTS: Use this control to select one of the fifteen digital modulation effects. Complete
information about the DSP effects is on page 7.
7. (ELETRONIC TUNER): The electronic tuner is active whenever the amplifier is turned on, pro-
viding 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 instrument. The indicated note (string) is properly tuned when only the center LED is illumi-
nated.
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 adjacent yellow
LED illuminates when the Mute function is active.
9. 3 (CH 3 SELECT): This switch, when depressed, selects Channel 3 as the active channel. The
adjacent red LED illuminates when Channel 3 is active. Channel 3 features a high gain FlexWave
circuit for extreme distortion and sustain.
