Accessories Checklist

Your LPX is a complete system with all needed accessories. After removing the guitar case

from the shipping box, take out the Accessory Pack in the bottom of the box. Check that
between the Accessory Pack and guitar case pocket, the following are all included.

Notes:



All AC adapters are global and work with 100 to 240V, 50/60Hz.



Use only USB 2.0 high-speed cables with LPX USB peripherals.



The Certificate of Authenticity is an important part of the LPX package—it’s your
passport to continued support, free patches and software, special offers, and access

to the online Visionaries Club. File it in a safe place.
