Singer-Songwriter Setup
Reach is the perfect tool for singer-songwriters who need an all-in-one highly portable BYOS
[Bring Your Own Sound] PA to play coffee houses, breweries, wineries and rentable event spaces.
Along with Reach, bring your acoustic and mic, footswitch, cables and power cords. And your
smart phone, too...don’t forget that! With it, you’re able to announce tour dates via social media.
More importantly, you can connect to Reach via Bluetooth (or 1/8" input) and jam along to the
backing tracks you added to your device.
In this example, a mic is connected to the channel 1 input. Adjust the level as described on page 14.
Now grab your guitar and plug it directly into the channel 2 input. Adjust the level for the guitar now.
You may add color to the sound with FX. Simply press and hold the channel button you want to add
FX to followed by adjusting the FX level to taste. More information may be found on pages 13-14.
For the output, you will want to set an EQ mode, described in detail on page 14. For this type of setup,
solo mode works well. It has a nice low cut and a brilliant high end. Additionally, you can utilize the
Reach’s feedback destroyer [page 14] so it automatically kills any feedback while playing.
