User manual FENDER 2235 POWER AMPLIFIER

[. . . ] The varying guitars Fender makes also have varying components, many of which affect the tone the guitar produces. Our main objective was to make sure we modeled the inherent tonal characteristics of each instrument rather than the specifics of a particular guitar. . . thus creating more widely representative models. ST RA · Normal OR AL r IN u IG nto y C o B od TO CA ST ER 5 Stratocaster® 5 MODES OF THE 2235 POWER AMPLIFIER® The 5-way selectable "Mode" control is what you will use to choose among the VG's distinct modeling modes. While in each mode, simply use the blade 5-way selector switch to switch pickups as if you are playing the guitar type that you've selected. Here are the modes: · Normal (N): In this non-modeling mode, your guitar uses it's three standard Strat pickups only and plays like a standard Stratocaster® guitar. [. . . ] · Modeled Stratocaster (S): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of a slightly different Stratocaster tone, but with some new possibilities. You now have the option of a 12-string sound or several different alternate tunings (see page 11). · Telecaster (T): In this modeling mode, the guitar plays with the sound of a Telecaster guitar. The 'snap' of the bridge position, the 'chirp' of the middle position, it's all there. And of course there's the option of the 12-string sound and the alternate tunings. · Humbucking Pickups (H): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the sound of two high output humbucking pickups; one in the neck position and one in the bridge position. This is the mode where you'll find that oh-so desirable warm, full tone you'd expect from high end humbucking pickups. · Acoustic (A): In this modeling mode, your guitar plays with the warm, full sound of an acoustic guitar. In this position the blade switch switches between various acoustic tones from the warmth of a dreadnought to the bright, cutting sound of a resonator's smooth bluesy twang. 6 Stratocaster® A) B) C) D) Neck Pickup (Magnetic) Mid Pickup (Magnetic) Bridge Pickup (Magnetic) Roland GK Pickup 1) 2) ) ) 5) Volume Control 5-Way Switch Tone Control Tuning Control Mode Control Stratocaster® Normal Stratocaster® Guitar (N) 5 WAY SWITCH POSITION 5 4 3 POSITION 1 NECK (A) 2 MIDDLE (B) BRIDGE (C) PICKUP IS ON PICKUP IS OFF TER CAS ATO STR D WITH SYNCHRONIZE TREMOLO Contour Body ORIGINAL 5 6 5 6 5 6 7 8 9 7 8 9 7 8 9 10 VOLUME 1 2 3 4 10 TONE 1 2 3 4 10 TONE 1 2 3 4 Stratocaster® Modeled Stratocaster® Guitar (S) 5 WAY SWITCH POSITION 5 4 3 POSITION 1 NECK (A) 2 MIDDLE (B) BRIDGE (C) PICKUP IS ON PICKUP IS OFF TER CAS ATO STR D WITH SYNCHRONIZE TREMOLO Contour Body ORIGINAL 5 6 5 6 5 6 7 8 9 7 8 9 7 8 9 10 VOLUME 1 2 3 4 10 TONE 1 2 3 4 10 TONE 1 2 3 4 9 Stratocaster® Modeled Telecaster® Guitar (T) 5 WAY SWITCH POSITION 5 4 3 POSITION 1 NECK (A) 2 BRIDGE (C) PICKUP IS ON PICKUP IS OFF PAT. 000 01 .
