Setup
Turning the power on/off
Before you turn the power on or off, you must turn
down the volume of any connected devices.
When using batteries:
1.
To open the battery compartment, lightly press
the tab located by the arrow and lift the cover up.
Install four AA alkaline batteries (sold separately)
observing the correct polarity and close the
cover.
2.
When using batteries, the power will turn on
when a mono cable is plugged into the INPUT
jack. The display will light while the power is on.
The power will turn off when you remove the
cable from the INPUT jack.
Be sure to remove the cable from the INPUT jack
when you are not using the AX10A to preserve
battery life.
If you connect a stereo cable, the power will not be
turned on.
When the batteries run down, an indication of
will blink in the display. Please replace the batteries
as soon as possible. If dead batteries are left in the
unit, they may leak or cause other malfunctions. You
should also remove the batteries if you will not be
using the AX10A for an extended period.
When using the AC adaptor:
1.
Connect the separately sold AC adaptor to the
DC 9V jack, and plug the AC adaptor into an AC
outlet. The POWER LED will light, and the power
will turn on.
Use only the specified external AC adaptor. (p.14)
Be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC
outlet when you are not using the AX10A.
Do not apply excessive force to the cable.
Wrap the AC adaptor cable around the hook as
shown in the diagram.
Connections
1.
Turn off the power of the equipment you want to
connect, and lower each volume control.
2.
Set the INPUT L/H switch according to the output
of your pickups.
The “H” position is suitable for guitars with a high
output pickup. The “L” position is suitable for
guitars with a low output pickup.
3.
Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack.
4.
Set the AMP/LINE select switch to the appropriate
position.
Select the “AMP” position if you’re connecting the
output of the AX10A to a PA system or guitar
amp for use at high volume, or the “LINE” position
if you’re connecting the output to a recorder,
audio device, or headphones.
5.
Connect the OUTPUT jack to your amp or
recorder, etc.
The OUTPUT jack is stereo (TRS), so if you use
a mono cable to connect it to your guitar amp
etc., only the sound of the L (left) channel will be
heard.
If you are listening through headphones, connect
them to this jack.
If you are running into two channels of a mixer or
using two amplifiers in stereo, use a stereo to
dual mono cable.
6.
When you have finished making connections,
turn on the power of your guitar amp, recorder, or
other equipment, and adjust the volume.
Use the MASTER buttons to adjust the overall
volume (master level) of the AX10A. (p.7

)
TIPS
If the sound is distorted when the AX10A is
bypassed, set the INPUT L/H switch to the “H”
position. If the sound is still distorted, lower the
volume of your guitar.
