USB and HOW TO CONNECT THE AMP CENTRAL TO PC/MAC 

 
You can connect the Amp Central to your PC/MAC with a USB cable, to upload new I.R.'s by 
following the next steps:  

 

Power off the Amp Central by unplugging the power connector on the back of the unit; 

 

Connect a USB cable to the AMP CENTRAL first and then your PC/MAC after.  

 

The  Amp  Central  will  automatically  be  recognized  as  an  external  device  (like  your 

memory stick or hard drive for example) with the name AMPCENTRAL; 

 

Double  click  on  it,  and  you’ll  see  folders  with  names  from  0  to  3.  By  clicking  on  each 

folder, you’ll find four more folders, each one with an I.R. inside. This means a total of 16 
files/folders are available, divided into four banks with four cabinets in each bank.  

 
 
 
 
 
Let’s take a look this chart to visualize it in a very simple way:
