5) Set the track 1 fader and [MASTER] fader to the
nominal position (marked by “
”).
Raising these faders allows you to monitor the
input sound. If these faders are not raised, you
cannot monitor the sound via headphones.
<Note>
These faders are used to adjust the monitor level.
To adjust the recording level, use the [TRIM] con-
trol on the [INPUT A] section.
6) Press the [RECORD] key.
The armed track (track 1, in this case) now changes
from tape monitoring to input monitoring, while
" " is shown on the screen.
7) While playing the guitar, adjust the recording level
using the [TRIM] control on the [INPUT A] section.
The screen shows the input level of track 1, as well
as the output levels of the stereo outputs (L and R).
Turning the [PHONES VOL] control clockwise raises
the headphone monitor level.
Adjust the built-in distortion effect level using the
[GUITAR DISTORTION] control.
<Note>
Adjust the [TRIM] control properly so that the
PEAK indicator does not light at the loudest part
of the guitar sound. If the input level is too high,
the PEAK indicator lights and the sound may be
distorted or noisy.
<Tip>
When receiving a line level signal, set the [TRIM]
control to left ("LINE") to get the appropriate
level. When receiving a microphone signal (ex-
ternal or internal), set the [TRIM] control to right
("MIC") to get the appropriate level.
<Note>
If you do not use the built-in distortion effect,
turn the [GUITAR DISTORTION] control fully left.
