[. . . ] Owner's Manual AC DC AC & BATTERY POWERED FET Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the BOSS FDR-1 Deluxe Reverb. Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and "IMPORTANT NOTES" (supplied on a separate sheet). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good understanding of every feature provided by your new unit, this manual should be read in its entirety. [. . . ] * If there is a battery in the unit while an AC adaptor is being used, normal operation will continue should the line voltage be interrupted due to power blackout or power cord disconnection. * Some connection cables contain resistors. When connection cables with resistors are used, the sound level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable. * Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices. When powering up: Turn on the power to your guitar amp last. When powering down: Turn off the power to your guitar amp first. * Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction. * When operating on battery power only, the CHECK indicator will become dim when battery power gets too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible. 7 Connections Recommended Settings fig.
