1 Welcome
If you’re reading this, you are probably a working musician or
audio professional of some kind. You’ve spent years honing
your craft with long, lonely hours spent strumming, picking,
tweaking, bowing, thumping and plucking. Maybe you tour the
world, or just the local coffeshops. You’ve gotten up on stage
tired, given more than you thought you had and driven home
barely awake but your soul still singing. You have friends and
bandmates out there that you rely on like family. Some of your
friends, maybe the very best ones, are made of wood, steel,
glue, bone and strings. And now you can welcome Felix to the
latter category.
Regardless of where you end up playing, from here on when
you look down at that stage floor, he’ll be down there shining
back up at you, making you sound better and your job easier.
While Felix is not the most complicated piece of gear you’ve
ever operated, he does come with a great deal of flexibility and
setup options, which means we highly recommend you have
a good look at this owner’s manual to familiarize yourself with
his finer points. Once you overcome the learning curve (easy,
we promise), you’ll find Felix to be intuitive, powerful and really
quite user friendly.
Most of all, we made Felix so you can make great music. So read
this manual and then get back to work!
