1. Input
Plug your guitar in here. Always use a good quality screened guitar lead.
2. Gain
This control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion.
When the Clean Channel is selected, low settings counter clockwise (CCW), will
deliver a clean sound. As the Gain control is increased clockwise (CW) the sound
will move from clean into break-up, until at its maximum position, a full crunch tone
is arrived at.
When the Overdrive Channel is selected, the Gain control adjusts the amount of
overdrive or distortion. Low settings, counter clockwise, will deliver a clean sound
on the edge of break-up. As the Gain control is increased CW the sound will become
more overdriven moving through crunch tones until, at its maximum position, a full
distorted lead tone is arrived at.
3. OD (Overdrive)
Press this switch to select the Overdrive Channel. When the switch is in the Overdrive
Channel is selected. When the switch is out the Clean Channel is in operation.
4. Volume
This controls the volume of the Clean and Overdrive Channels. Turning it clockwise
increases the volume.
5. ISF (Infinite Shape Feature)
The patented ISF control allows you to choose the
exact tonal signature you prefer. Fully CCW has a
more American characteristic with a tight bottom
end and more aggressive middle, and fully CW has
a British characteristic which is more ‘woody’ and
less aggressive.
6. DELAY LEVEL
Toggle the DL LEVEL knob to change the time that the Delay Time (mentioned
below) lasts – the higher the DL LEVEL setting, the longer the overall delay effect
will last.

switch clockwise to increase the delay, and counter-clockwise to decrease the delay.

9. Speaker Emulated Output & Headphones
This output emulates the tonal characteristics of a guitar speaker cabinet and
provides a natural valve overdrive tone for connection to a recording device or mixing
desk, and for use with headphones. To make full use of the stereo reverb, use a
stereo jack to two mono jacks splitter lead to feed two channels of the recording
device or mixer (see diagram below). The output will also function into a mono guitar
type lead. Always use a good quality screened lead.
Note:
when a lead is connected here the combo’s internal speaker is disconnected.

This switch is used to turn the FLY 3 on and off; when using batteries, the FLY 3’s
power light will dim as the power in the batteries runs out.

12. Bluetooth (FLY 3 Bluetooth ONLY)
Your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for wirelessly
streaming your favourite music and backing tracks. Press this switch to pair a
Bluetooth device to your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier and toggle between the modes
of operation (see below).
Discoverable Mode (slow LED flash)
To connect a Bluetooth device to your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier for the first time you
must make a ‘pairing’ between the two devices. To pair, simply press and hold the
Bluetooth switch on your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier until the Bluetooth LED displays
a slow flash. In this state other Bluetooth devices are able to ‘see’ your FLY 3
Bluetooth amplifier (hence the term ‘Discoverable’) and can make a request to pair.
Whilst the Bluetooth LED is flashing slowly, go to the Bluetooth Settings page
of your Bluetooth device and look for your FLY 3 Bluetooth amplifier in the list of
available devices. Your amplifier will be identified as ‘FLY 3 BT’. When ‘FLY 3 BT’
appears, simply select this device and wait a few moments for the pairing to be
made. You will hear an audible tone from the amplifier to indicate that a device has
been successfully connected.
If a pairing has not been made within the Discoverable Mode timeout window, the
Bluetooth connectivity will switch off and will wait for user input in order to attempt a
new pairing. Simply press and hold the Bluetooth switch again to enter Discoverable
Mode and restart the pairing process.
Pressing the Bluetooth switch while in Discoverable Mode will put your FLY 3
Bluetooth amplifier into Scanning Mode.
Scanning Mode (fast LED flash)
Scanning Mode is used to reconnect any previously paired Bluetooth devices to
your FLY 3 Bluetooth if they have travelled out of range or have been disconnected.
Ensure your previously paired Bluetooth device has Bluetooth connectivity switched
on. Press the Bluetooth switch once to put the FLY 3 Bluetooth into Scanning Mode;
