User manual FENDER BXR 200

[. . . ] The rugged power amplifier is designed to give years of reliable service under all conditions. It is equipped with our exclusive DELTACOMPTM adaptive compressor system. With DELTACOMP, it is practically impossible to clip (distort) the power amplifier. The apparent release time of the compressor is short, yet distortion at low frequencies is kept to a minimum. [. . . ] A lower number corresponds to a slower rate of sweep. C. D. +12 0 -12 K. CHORUS INDICATOR - This LED is illuminated when the chorus is active. The intensity of the LED is modulated by the chorus sweep low frequency oscillator (LFO) to give a visual indication of the sweep rate. DEPTH - Adjusts the intensity of the chorus effect. A lower setting will introduce a subtle yet distinct effect whereas a higher setting will create a more dramatic effect. With both the RATE (item J) and DEPTH controls set midway or higher, a variety of vibrato/tremolo type effects can be achieved. L. button "OUT, " DELTACOMP is OFF. With the button "IN, " DELTACOMP is ON, and a special ASYMMETRIC LIMITER circuit is enabled. The Asymmetric Limiter is designed to "smooth-out" any distortion caused when the power amplifier clips by adding even-order harmonics. DELTACOMP INDICATOR LED - This LED, when lit, indicates that the power amplifier has reached full power and that either DELTACOMP or LIMITING has occurred, depending on the position of the switch. The unit may seem louder without DELTACOMP, since the power amp will be allowed to go into clipping. With DELTACOMP on, your volume level will be rather loud before the compressor turns on; this is normal. M. SELECT - Activates the chorus generating circuitry for a fuller, more colorful sound. NOTE: This switch disables the Chorus Select FOOTSWITCH (item N). FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for remote footswitch to switch the CHORUS on and off. For proper operation of the footswitch, the CHORUS SELECT (item M) switch should be out. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord will work with the remote footswitch, however a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord when it is available. DELTACOMP - DELTACOMP is Fender's exclusive compressor circuit used in the BXR 200. This circuit is designed to prevent the power amplifier section from clipping and causing unwanted distortion. POWER INDICATOR - When this LED is illuminated, the BXR 200 unit is receiving power. POWER - Turns the BXR 200 unit "ON" or "OFF.
