2. BASIC OPERATION (PRESET MODE)
2.1 Initial Power Up
The EFX MK-VI requires a DC9V power supply. At initial power-up, the EFX MK-VI tests that the correct power is
applied and displays the result and operating mode on the LCD display. If there is no problem with the power test,
the EFX MK-VI starts with the first preset on bank 1.
EFX MK-VI operates normally on 8.4V to 9.6V power. EFX MK-VI resets at any time outside this voltage range. This is
to prevent damage to internal components due to over-current or over-voltage.
When power is applied, power is applied/blocked twice to the analog circuit for power testing. At this point, two click
sounds are output. If possible, connect the EFX MK-VI’s output jack to the amplifier after the power test.
