WIRING TIPS The illustration on the next page shows you how to connect your guitar to the amplifier. If you want to use an effects pedal (for example, the BEHRINGER X V-AMP) to experiment with some out-of-theordinary sounds, you can connect your guitar directly to the input of the effects processor. Then, connect a second cable from the effects output to the input on your guitar amp. If you have an electronic tuner, please be sure to insert it pre effects device, so that the tuner only receives a dry signal without effects components. X V-AMP: no additional tuner required. + The built-in loudspeaker is disabled automatically when you plug in the headphone . Fig. 3. 1: Upper side: Control elements Connect your guitar to the INST(RUMENT) INPUT jack, using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4" TS connector. The GAIN control determines the volume level and the amount of distortion. Use GAIN to adjust the amount of distortion and the MASTER control to set the volume level . If the GAIN switch is not pressed, the GAIN control is disabled. In this case, the volume can only be set with the MASTER control . The GAIN switch provides additional boost on the guitar channel. The BASS control allows you to boost or cut the lowfrequency range. Guitar amps are optimally matched to the sound of guitars by shifting the point at which middle frequencies are lowered. Pressing the SHIFT button enacts this function. [. . . ] BEHRINGER will inform the buyer of any such circumstance. If the buyer fails to submit a written repair order within 6 weeks after notification, BEHRINGER will return the unit C. O. D. with a separate invoice for freight and packing. Such costs will also be invoiced separately when the buyer has sent in a written repair order. [. . . ]
