[. . . ] These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Opening the chassis for any reason will void the manufacturer's warranty.

As colours of the cores in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: · The core which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E, or with the earth symbol, or coloured green, or green and yellow. [. . . ] Here are a few tips that will help you get the best possible performance out of your FX33 while avoiding damage: · Always make sure you have a "clean" power source for connecting to the FX33. This means that the AC power line you connect to the FX33 should be as free from voltage fluctuations and RF interference as possible. In recording environments, "clean" power is also important in preventing AC hum or buzz from getting to tape. · Use a good quality spike / surge suppressor (also called a power strip). This is an inexpensive solution to all but the most severe AC line conditions. A good quality power strip can save you a lot of money in repair bills because they prevent large spikes and surges from reaching your equipment. Also in this category (but more expensive) are rackmount power supplies. Some of these, like the DOD 828, have retractable light tubes and RF filtering. · Although more expensive, AC line conditioners offer the best protection from improper line voltages. Line conditioners constantly monitor the AC line for excessively high or low voltages and instantaneously compensate to deliver a consistent voltage to the connected equipment. · Always make sure that your audio lines are as far as possible from power cables. To select Programs in the FX33: DATA 1) After you power up, use the Data wheel to scroll through the Programs. These LEDs indicate which effects are used in each Program, and which Program in the Bank is selected. Seven are digital effect groups (delay, reverb, etc. ) , and four cover the preamp section (compression, distortion, gate, EQ). If the Status LED is lit continuously, an effect in the indicated group is active. If the LED is flashing, edit mode is active, and effects in the group can be selected using the Data wheel. The following things happen when you use the Effect Selector buttons: · When you select a bypassed effect, its group LED begins flashing and the display shows two dashes, indicating that the effect is selected but bypassed. (Pressing the Select button again activates the effect. ) · When you select an active effect, its group LED begins flashing and the display shows the number of the currently selected effect. (Pressing the button again bypasses the effect. ) When lit, the User LED below the display indicates that the current Program is a User Program. When the LED is not lit, the current Program is a permanent Factory Program. Using The Footswitches The FX33's pedalboard consists of four footswitches: the far right footswitch is the Bank selector, and the remaining three are Program selectors. There are 10 User Banks in the FX33, each with 3 Programs for a total of 30 User Programs. There are also 30 Factory Programs that can be selected using the Data wheel only. [. . . ] IMPORTANT: If you want to store your custom Program so you can use it later, follow the procedure below. Storing Programs The FX33 helps you remember whether or not you've stored the Program you're working on by lighting the Store LED under the bottom right corner of the display when the selected Program has been edited. Remember that if you change any settings in a Program, you have to store the Program into a User memory location. To store a Program into a memory location: User Store 1) Press the Store button. The Store LED begins flashing and the User LED lights (if not lit already). DATA 2) Use the Data wheel to select the User location where you want to store the Program. User Store 3) Press the Store button again to store the Program in the location you selected. [. . . ]
