CHORUS INDICATOR - 

This LED is illuminated when

the chorus is active. The intensity of the LED is modu-
lated by the chorus sweep low frequency oscillator
(LFO) to give a visual indication of the sweep rate.

DEPTH - 

Adjusts the intensity of the chorus effect. A

lower setting will introduce a subtle yet distinct effect
whereas a higher setting will create a more dramatic
effect. With both the RATE (item J) and DEPTH controls
set midway or higher, a variety of vibrato/tremolo
type effects can be achieved.

SELECT -

Activates the chorus generating circuitry for a

fuller, more colorful sound. NOTE: This switch disables
the Chorus Select FOOTSWITCH (item N).

FOOTSWITCH -

Plug-in connection for remote

footswitch to switch the CHORUS on and off. For prop-
er operation of the footswitch, the CHORUS SELECT
(item M) switch should be out. NOTE: Any good quali-
ty patch cord will work with the remote footswitch,
however a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax
guitar cord when it is available.

DELTACOMP -

DELTACOMP is Fender’s exclusive com-

pressor circuit used in the BXR 200. This circuit is
designed to prevent the power amplifier section from
clipping and causing unwanted distortion.  With the

button “OUT,” DELTACOMP is OFF. With the button
“IN,” DELTACOMP is ON, and a special ASYMMET-
RIC LIMITER circuit is enabled. The Asymmetric Limiter
is designed to “smooth-out” any distortion caused
when the power amplifier clips by adding even-order
harmonics.

DELTACOMP INDICATOR LED -

This LED, when lit,

indicates that the power amplifier has reached full
power and that either DELTACOMP or LIMITING has
occurred, depending on the position of the switch. The
unit may seem louder without DELTACOMP, since the
power amp will be allowed to go into clipping. With
DELTACOMP on, your volume level will be rather loud
before the compressor turns on; this is normal.

POWER INDICATOR - 

When this LED is illuminated,

the BXR 200 unit is receiving power.

POWER -

Turns the BXR 200 unit “ON” or “OFF.”
