Switch ON your X100M ! 

 

IMPORTANT: before switch the amplifier on:  

1)  Check the good conditions of the mains cable (with earth connector) and the 

presence of a good earth connection in the line.  

2)  Check speaker connection adn proper imepdance. 

 

a)  Before connecting the mains cable to X100M, put MAINS switch to OFF 

position and STBY/ACTIVE switch to STANDBY position. 

b) If you want to enable MIDI channel selection, put channel selector to 

CRUNCH position;  

c)  if you want to enable front/rear switches and dedicated footswitch, select 

CRUCH-LEAD; 

d)  if you want to access the MIDI program mode, select CLEAN (see below how 

to program X100M). 

e)  turn all front pots counter-clockwise and all rear pots at mid position; 
f)  connect the guitar;  
g)  Switch the mains ON while stby is OFF; 
h)  After about two minutes, move stby switch to ACTIVE position. 

Now you are ready to play: turn gently the pots of the current channel to the position you 
want (see further for some start-point setups) and explore all the possibilities of X100M  
sound also by acting on the rear pots. 

Note: if X100M wakes up in crunch mode (MIDI enable), front and rear switches are 
disabled and channel will be crunch until a valid Program change will be received.
