[. . . ] Care should be taken so that objects do not fall on and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.

[. . . ] 2) Connect your instrument to the input of the FX56. 3) Power up the FX56 by connecting the supplied AC adapter between the FX56 and a power outlet. 4) Play your instrument and watch the Clip LED on the FX56 carefully as you set the Input knob. Turn up the Input level until the Clip LED begins to light, and reduce the input level slightly. When the Input knob is set properly, the Clip LED should only flicker on the loudest passages. The FX56, like any piece of computer hardware, is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes, and surges. Interference such as lightning or power "brownouts" can seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently damage the circuitry inside the unit. Here are a few tips that will help get the best possible performance out of your FX56 while avoiding damage: · Always make sure you have a "clean" power source for connecting to the FX56. This means that the AC power line you connect to the FX56 should be as free from voltage fluctuations and RF interference as possible. · Use a good quality spike / surge suppressor. This is an inexpensive solution to all but the most severe AC line conditions. This helps you keep track of where you are in the menus.

Expression Pedal Assign The FX56 Expression Pedal can be assigned to control 1 of 10 different parameters in a program. This adds a whole new dimension in your sound by letting you make real-time effects changes during performance. Changing the pedal's assignment is accomplished the same as editing any other effect group in your program. Simply select the Expression Assign Group button and choose one of the numbers that corresponds to the parameter you want the pedal to control. In order for the Expression Pedal to function with a parameter you have selected, a corresponding effect must be active within the program.
