[. . . ] E 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS · · · · · · Read these instructions. Mains powered apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] Press the MANUAL button; the MANUAL LED will light, and you'll be in Manual mode. NOTE: If the CH1 or CH2 LED is blinking (i. e. , when you're in the middle of selecting a writing-destination for the program), the MANUAL LED won't light when you press the MANUAL button the first time. NOTE: In Manual mode when you edit parameters that aren't defined by a knob setting (i. e. , effect parameters or noise reduction settings), those settings are saved automatically, and will be recalled the next time you enter Manual mode. However if the EFFECTS selector is at a different position than it was when you were last in Manual mode, the default settings for that effect type will be loaded. To turn the effect on, press the BYPASS button once to turn off the LED. The AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT, AD100VT & AD100VTH remember the bypass setting even if you switch modes, programs, or turn off the power. Creating and storing your own program 11 Creating and storing your own program T here are two ways you can do this; by tweaking an existing preset program that's close to what you have in mind, or by starting from scratch. CREATING YOUR OWN PROGRAM Let's start from scratch. Choose any program in Preset or Channel Select mode, or select Manual mode. HINT: Since we're starting from scratch it doesn't matter what program you choose. 2. (The BYPASS LED is lit. ) If you want to use an effect, you can add it at the end of this process. Use the AMP selector to select the amp you want to use. HINT: For details on the amp types, refer to "Amp models and effects" (page 17). 4. Adjust the top panel GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS knobs as desired. Hold down the TAP button and turn the EDIT 1 knob to adjust the noise reduction. For details, refer to "Adjusting the noise reduction" (page 13) HINT: Adjust the noise reduction so that you don't hear noise when you're not playing your guitar. 6. If you want to use an effect, press the BYPASS switch once again to turn bypass off (the BYPASS LED goes dark). For example if you want to add delay, turn the EFFECT selector to "DELAY. " If the selector is already set to "DELAY, " you'll have to turn it to a different effect and then back to "DELAY. " Use the TAP button or EDIT 1 knob to adjust the delay time and delay level (the amount of delayed sound). DELAY TIME: DELAY LEVEL: DELAY FEEDBACK: Press the TAP button twice (at the desired interval), or hold down the TAP button and turn EDIT 1. Turn EDIT 1 while holding down the BYPASS button. 12 HINT: For details on the effects, refer to "Amp models and effects" (page 17). 8. When you've come up with a sound you like, store the program. NOTE: In Preset or Channel Select mode, the changes you made will be lost if you switch to a different program or Manual mode or turn off the power without storing the program first. NOTE: The effect bypass setting isn't stored as part of the program. ADJUSTING THE NOISE REDUCTION Here's how to adjust the noise reduction HINT: When using a high-gain amp model such as "NUMETAL" or "US HIGAIN, " we recommend that you use noise reduction, since more gain means more noise!In Preset and Channel Select modes, your setting will be lost if you switch to a different program or to Manual mode (or turn off the power) without storing your edited program first. 1. Hold down the TAP button and turn the EDIT 1 knob to adjust the noise reduction sensitivity. Turning the knob toward the right will produce greater noise reduction (less noise). If you turn the knob all the way to the left, noise reduction will be off, and won't do anything (more noise). NOTE: Depending on the guitar you're using, excessively high noise reduction settings may cause notes to be cut off in an unwanted manner! 3. If you want to use effects, press the BYPASS button to make the BYPASS LED go dark and the effect(s) will be heard. 13 STORING YOUR PROGRAM When you've come up with a sound you like, you should store (write) the program. [. . . ] So, use your ears and your common sense when setting this! REVERB A model of the most popular spring reverb system used in guitar amps. TAP "TIME" EDIT1 "MIX" EDIT2 "TIME" [TAP+EDIT 1] EDIT3 "HI DAMP" [BYPASS+EDIT 1] Sets the reverb time in a range of 0. 8. . . 8 [seconds]. Adjusts the dampening of the high-frequency range. HINT: In combination effects, the TIME and HI DAMP parameters are already set to optimal values. 26 Troubleshooting 1. The amp isn't powering up when the POWER switch is ON.
