A. INSTRUMENT INPUT—

Plug your acoustic-elec-

tric instrument in here. The instrument channel controls
are all in the top row.

B. MICROPHONE INPUT—

Balanced XLR jack for a

low-impedance microphone. The mic channel controls
are all in the bottom row. Phantom power supplied
(+15VDC ).

C. PHASE—

Reverses the phase of the instrument

channel which will reduce feedback in some situations.

D. VOLUME— Adjusts the loudness of each channel.
E. TREBLE / MID / BASS— Adjusts the tone character of

each channel.

F. NOTCH—

Rotate slowly to locate and supress

feedback that occurs at a particular frequency on the
instrument channel. Rotate fully counter-clockwise when
not needed.

G. STRING DYNAMICS— A dynamic tone shaping filter that

varies with your playing intensity. Rotate clockwise to
reduce treble-frequency harshness at peak levels (or high
volume settings) without affecting the crisp brightness
when playing more gently.

H. EFFECTS LEVEL— Adjusts the amount of the effects in

each channel. To turn OFF effects: rotate fully counter-
clockwise or use the footswitch.

I. EFFECTS SELECT— Selects the active effect for each

channel. See Effects Descriptions on page 8.

J. TUNER/MUTE— Press IN to disable all audio output

from the amplifier; useful for silent tune-ups.

LED

flashes when selected.

K. PHONES— Plug your stereo headphones in here; speaker

outputs are automatically disabled.

L. POWER INDICATOR—

Illuminates when the unit is on.

Flashes if the unit detects an overload condition

such as a faulty speaker cable, improper connection,
overheating, or incorrect speaker impedance. The ampli-
fier may be more susceptible to overload if high-output
effects or other devices are used. The unit will automati-
cally try to reset, but if an overload condition still exists
after 5 attempts, the unit will remain in protection mode
until powered OFF. Remove the overload condition then
switch the power back ON; if this LED still flashes, take the
unit to an authorized Fender® service center.

If the Power Indicator does not illuminate, check the

fuse. If the fuse is good, leave the unit unplugged for 15
minutes to allow the power supply to reset. If that fails,
take the unit to an authorized Fender® service center.
