1. Set the (INPUT) 1 knob and the VOLUME knob to
the minimum position, and connect your guitar to the
INPUT 1 jack.
2. Use the (INPUT) 1 knob to adjust the input level.
To avoid signal clipping (signal that’s too loud) this knob
should be adjusted so that the peak LED doesn’t light up
when signal is being loudly input.
3. Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume that is
being outputted from the OUTPUT L/MONO and R
jacks.
4. Use the TREBLE knob and BASS knob to adjust the
tone.
5.
As necessary, use the REVERB knob to adjust the effect.
You can apply a reverb effect to the signals from the MIC
IN jack, INPUT 1 jack, and INPUT 2 jack.
Using a mic
Let’s try connecting a mic to the MIC IN jack. Only dynamic
mics can be used with the KR-55 Pro.
Condenser mics are not supported on the KR-55 Pro.
