Delay Jack (DELAY) By using a separately available connection cable (Roland PCS-31) to connect two foot switches, you can use the foot switches in the following ways. Connection cable: PCS-31 (sold separately) TIP (White) RING (Red) Delay Tap Tempo On/Off (Hold) TIP (white): DELAY The delay effect will be turned on/off. RING (red): TAP/HOLD Use for tap-input of the delay time. If the delay type is set to HOLD, this will function as the switch to start/stop recording. Connect a momentary-type foot switch (BOSS FS-5U: sold separately). * If only one foot switch is connected, it will turn delay on/off. Chorus Jack (CHORUS) You can connect a separately available foot switch (BOSS FS5U or FS-5L) to turn chorus on/off. Reverb Jack (REVERB) You can connect a separately available foot switch (BOSS FS5U or FS-5L) to turn reverb on/off. Switching Manual/Memory and Patches When the Foot Switch Type (p. 39) in the System settings is set to “3 PROGRAM,” Manual and Memory are switched with a foot switch connected to the EFX jack, while you can switch Patches when the foot switch is connected to the DELAY, CHORUS, or REVERB jack. Connect a momentary-type foot switch (BOSS FS-5U: sold separately). TIP RING (White) (Red) Switching numbers Switching banks Switching Manual/Memory EFX Jack Switches between Manual mode and the currently selected Patch (Memory). DELAY Jack * Connect two foot switches using the optional connection cord (Roland PCS-31). TIP (white) Each time the foot switch is pressed, the Patch bank number rises to the next highest in the series of numbers. RING (red) Each time the foot switch is pressed, the Patch bank number decreases to the next lowest in the series of numbers. CHORUS Jack The Patch number decreases in sequence each time the foot switch is pressed. REVERB Jack The Patch number increases in sequence each time the foot switch is pressed. Panel Descriptions Panel Descriptions MIDI IN Connector By connecting a separately available MIDI foot controller (e.g., Roland FC-200) you can use your feet to switch patches. This connector is also used to receive data from an external MIDI device. MIDI OUT Connector This connector is used to transmit VGA-7 data to an external MIDI device. * Depending on the system settings, this connector can also be used as a MIDI THRU connector which re-transmits the data received at MIDI IN without change.

Press [SELECT/VALUE /] to input the value. 4. Once you’ve finished making settings, press [SYSTEM] again, extinguishing its indicator. 2 The setting will be saved. A list of system parameters is given on the plate located on the top right of the cabinet. TUNER Parameter Number: 1 PITCH Specify the standard pitch. Display Setting 35–45 435 –445 Hz * With the factory settings, this is set to “440 Hz.” Parameter Number: 2 LEVEL Specify the output level of the tuning sound. Display Setting 0–10 0 (MUTE: sound will not be output while tuning) – 10 * With the factory settings, this is set to “0.” NOISE SUPRESSOR This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the guitar sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound. Parameter Number: 3 THRESHOLD Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the guitar sound is as natural as possible. This can be turned off by setting the value to 0. Display Setting 0–10 0 (OFF)–10 * With the factory settings, this is set to “4.” * High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your guitar volume turned down. System setting System setting ) Specify the operation of the foot switches connected to the EFX–REVERB jacks. * You cannot change the settings for each individual jack. Parameter Number: 4 TYPE Display Setting EFFECTS (MOMENTARY): The effect on/off state specified by the patch will be reversed. If the effect is on, it will be switched off > on > off > on... when the switch is pressed. If the effect is off, it will be switched on > off > on > off... when the switch is pressed. * Connect a momentary-type foot switch (sold separately: BOSS FS-5U). EFFECTS (LATCH): The foot switch’s current status is the one used, regardless of the Patch’s effects status (on/off). * When this setting is selected, the effects cannot be turned on and off with the buttons on the front panel. * Connect a latch-type foot switch (sold separately: BOSS-FS-5L). Be sure to connect the FS-5U to the DELAY jack’s RING. PROGRAM: Manual and Memory are switched using a foot switch connected to the EFX...
