Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Action
The display indicates “ bt ” Batteries are low. Replace them with new ones.
Batteries run down quickly
Are you using carbon-zinc batteries? Use alkaline batteries.
Could you be using phantom power?
Using phantom power will deplete the batteries
more quickly. You might want to use a dynamic mic
that does not require phantom power, or use an AC
adaptor (p. 2).
No sound/volume is low
Is the output setting correct?
Depending on the setting of the XLR jacks and
LINE jacks, the guitar/mic sound is not output from
the jacks.
If “USB Direct Out” is off, sound is not output from
the OUTPUT jacks.
Check the “Output Settings” (p. 5).
Is the other equipment connected correctly? Check the connections again (p. 3).
Could the volume or input gain of the connected
mixer or recorder be lowered?
Check the settings of the connected device.
Reverb is not output from the
OUTPUT jacks
Is the output setting correct?
Check the “If You Don’t Want to Send Reverb to the
PA” (p. 5).

distorted
Is the [MIC SENS] knob setting appropriate?
If the input level is too high, the PEAK indicator
lights red.
Adjust the setting appropriately (p. 2).
Could the [PHANTOM] switch be set to “OFF?”
If you’re using a condenser mic that requires phantom
power, set the [PHANTOM] switch to ON (p. 2).
Is the output from another effects processor
connected to the MIC INPUT jack?
Connect your mic directly to the MIC INPUT jack.
