User manual CARVIN SX50

[. . . ] CARVIN ENGINEERING DATA SX50, SX100 & SX200 GUITAR AMPS WITH CLASSIC TUBE EMULATION & DSP OPERATING MANUAL REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS All back panels feature a LINE OUT for recording or running a slave amp, HEADPHONE jack, EXTENSION SPEAKER jack and a FOOT SWITCH jack for the optional FS22 (for remotely changing channels and turning on/off the effects). The extra dedicated reverb on the SX200 is controlled by a front panel switch. The SX200 also adds SEND/RETURN jacks for your own external effects. RUGGED CONSTRUCTION SMT surface mount electronics ensure consistent, reliable performance and are nearly impervious to bumps and vibrations. [. . . ] INPUT B (SX200 ONLY) The CHANNEL B input may be used with the CHANNEL A/B input, allowing two instruments to be played at the same time. Plugging into input B can provide another instrument ready to be played without unplugging. 10. CHANNEL B CLEAN VOLUME Channel switching from the Drive channel into Channel B gives you crisps, clean sounds. Thanks to special mud-cutting circuits that work between the frequencies of 600 and 800 Hz, your guitar tones will be full and vibrant. 3. CHANNEL SELECT Set the channel switch to the desired channel. The LED's next to the volume controls will let you see which channel is functioning. For the FS22 foot switch to function, set the CH SELECT to the " OUT" or "CH A" position. 11. CLEAN BASS, MID & TREBLE CONTROLS To start off with, set the BASS, MID & TREBLE controls at their center (5) position. These controls are most likely to be set according to the type of pickups used (dual or single coil). Most musicians like to reduce the MID to between 3 and 4 for deeper bass and crisper highs. CHANNEL A DRIVE 4. CHANNEL A INDICATOR The LED will illuminate when the OVERDRIVE channel is selected. 12. CHANNEL B CLEAN PRESENCE (SX200 ONLY) For added clarity, the CH B PRESENCE control increases the highest guitar harmonics in the 8-10k Hz range which is ideal for acoustic guitars. A normal bright switch works only in the 3k Hz range leaving your sound somewhat flat. Single or dual coil pickups will determine the level of this control. 4 9 5. CHANNEL A VOLUME The volume of the drive channel is to be used as a master level control. For partial clean output, set the VOLUME control to 10 and turn the DRIVE nearly off.

EFFECTS INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (SX200 only) On the SX200, set the LEVEL control to the highest setting before the effects distort. On the SX50/SX100 models, the input level control is not required as the effects send is internally set. REAR PANEL 18. EFFECTS LOOP (SEND & RETURN JACKS) (SX200 ONLY) Although the SX200 has built-in effects, you may want to use its separate effects loop. For the lowest noise from a pedal effect, use this effects loop instead of plugging the guitar into the effects and then into the amp. To use the EFFECTS LOOP, plug the INPUT of your effects into the SEND jack and the OUTPUT of your effects into the RETURN jack. EFFECTS OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL On the SX200, set the OUTPUT control for the amount of effect desired.
