FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

(14)  EFFECTS PROCESSOR DELAY Potentiometer (R42)
     
        

This potentiometer works only if the Effects Processor 3 position 

         toggle switch is selecting either effect 1 or effect 2. The Delay 
         control, when rotated clockwise increases,  by up to about 
         80 milliseconds,  the time that audio waveform is delayed. The 
         delayed waveform is then mixed with the original non delayed 
         waveform. The mixed waveform is next sent  to the output of
         the EQplus.  
         When the pot is turned clockwise, at the halfway point, there is a  
         detent. This represents a starting point for adjusting the Effects 
         Processor Delay..  

(15)  EFFECTS PROCESSOR LEVEL Potentiometer (R47)

 

         This potentiometer works only if the Effects Processor 3 position 
         toggle switch is selecting either effect 1 or effect 2. The Level 
         control, when rotated clockwise, increases  the amplitude that
         the  delayed audio waveform is combined  with the original non
         delayed waveform.
         When the pot is turned clockwise, at the halfway point, there is a 
         detent. This represents a starting point for adjusting the Effects 
         Processor Level. 

(16)  OUTPUT LEVEL Potentiometer (R44)

 

        
          This potentiometer varies the output level from about 10 
          millivolts to about 1 volt peak to peak. 
        

(17)  Monitor (Mon) LEVEL Potentiometer (R39)

 

         
         

This potentiometer  adjusts the audio level into the  Phones

         Connector (24).
