QUICK START

1.  Battery Switch [37] is set to Connect. (Battery Switch is set to Disconnect position to 

preserve battery life for transit or storage.) 

2.  Make sure the SPEAKER VOLUME [3] control is down before you turn the POWER [38] 

on.

3.  Connect the input of your microphone to the MIC IN [18].  Or you can connect a ¼” line 

input from an instrument [17].  You can also connect an additional mono or stereo [20]. 

All EQ knobs (21) should be set to 12 o’clock (FLAT EQ),  Notch Filter knob (19) should 

be also in the 12 o’clock. MUTE switch (13) and Phase switch (15) is out. EFX send level 

(14) should be at minimum. 

4.  Turn on the POWER [38] switch, battery meter should be all GREEN (indicate battery is 

fully charged) 

5.  EFX MIX knob (8) should be set to 12 o’clock. EFX should be bypassed until you are 

ready to test EFX. Monitor EQ (6) should be set to 12 o’clock “FLAT EQ”

6.  Turn up GAIN [12] until there is a solid green light showing “signal”[CHAN 1 meter] at 

desired level, without a red “peak”[CHAN 1 meter] light, indicating too much signal. 

Some MIC or INPUTs can distort the Speaker even with Gain Knob (12) at Minimum. 

Press the PAD switch (16) to reduce the input signal level to avoid distortion if input 

signal level is too high. 

7.  Adjust the SPEAKER VOLUME [3] to a comfortable level.

Low (1 - 2 o’clock) 

10.  Note if you are using an iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth®, set the volume on your device 

about halfway.  Maximum volume will distort. The Monitor Sigle (GREEN) LED is a good 

indication of a good input level from your Bluetooth or AUX inputs. 

11.  Use Channel 1 for your Acoustic Guitar and Channel 2 for your vocal.

12.  when you are getting a good sound without CHAN EQ or EFX, time to start playing with
