Your new Acoustasonic™ Junior amplifier delivers Fender
tone that today’s musicians demand and the rock solid
quality that sound engineers have depended on for more
than 50 years. Here ’s a preview of some of the
Acoustasonic Junior’s features:

• 40 watts of power per channel @ 8Ω (80 Watts R.M.S.
To t a l )

• Classic Fender reverb and chorus for a full-bodied tone.

• Two 8” woofers and a piezo horn for clean, powerful
response.

• Two independent channels with individual tone con­trols, voiced for acoustic instruments and vocals.

A. INSTRUMENT - Plug your guitar in here.
B. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the instru-

ment channel.

C. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level of the

instrument channel.

D. MID - Adjusts the middle-frequency level of the instru-

ment channel .

E. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level of the instru-

ment channel .

F. FEEDBACK NOTCH - By S L O W LY rotating this knob you

can fine and suppress feedback at a specific fre q u e n c y.

G. REVERB - Activates the reverb effect on the instrument

channel.

H. STRING DYNAMICS - Controls a dynamic tone shap-

ing filter on the instrument channel. Rotating the knob
clockwise reduces high-frequency “harshness” when
playing at high volumes while maintaining “crispness”
when playing at lower levels.

I. MIC - Plug your microphone in here. This three-pin

XLR, balanced, female input connector is intended for
input signals from low-impedance microphones.

J. LINE/INST - This 1/4-inch TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) input

jack is suited for line-level equipment such as high­impedance microphones, keyboards and dru m
machines. It accepts both balanced and unbalanced
inputs.

K. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the mic / line

channel.

L. PHASE - Reverses the phase of the mic / line channel

useful for eliminating feedback in instruments using
dual-pickup configurations.

M. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level of the mic /

line channel .

N. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level of the mic / line

channel.

• A footswitch jack for connecting the optional
footswitch which offers remote switching of the chorus
effect.

• Exclusive “String Dynamics” control effective at sup­pressing high frequency “harshness” in the amplifica­tion of some acoustical instruments.

• 1/4-inch TRS and 3-Pin XLR female input connectors

• On-board spring reverb and analog chorus effects.

• E ffects loop jacks for connection to to either stereo or
monophonic external effects devices .

s

O. CHORUS - Activates the chorus effect on the mic / line

channel.

P. REVERB SEND - Adjusts the level of the mic / line

channel that is sent to the reverb circuit. Rotating the
knob clockwise increases the level.

Q. RATE - Adjusts the modulation speed of the chorus

effect. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the
modulation speed.

R. MASTER CHORUS - Activates the chorus effect on

both channels. The master chorus must be on before
any chorus signal will be heard. The optional
footswitch, while connected, will override the master
chorus select switch.

S. DEPTH - Adjusts the depth (swell) of the chorus effect.

Rotating the knob clockwise, increases the intensity.

T. CHORUS INDICATOR - This LED illuminates when the

chorus circuit is active. The LED brightness varies
indicating the chorus sweep rate.

U. MASTER REVERB - Adjusts the amount of overall

reverb effect in both channels. Must be turned up
before any reverb effect will be heard.

V. MASTER PHASE - Reverses the phase of the

Acoustasonic Junior amplifier. Useful for eliminating
feedback when playing in small environments.

W. POWER INDICATOR - This LED illuminates when the

Acoustasonic Junior is receiving power.

X. POWER SWITCH - Turns the AC power ON and OFF.

When the switch is OFF, the amplifier is completely
shut down.

A . LINE CORD - The power line cord

must be connected to a gro u n d e d
AC receptacle in accordance with
the voltage and frequency ratings
as listed on the rear panel under
INPUT POWER.

B . FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connec-

tion for the optional re m o t e
footswitch (P/N 037659) used to
switch ON/OFF the chorus eff e c t .
Using this jack will override the
c h o rus select switch on the fro n t
panel. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord will work with the re m o t e
footswitch, however an unshielded speaker type cord is preferable to a
coax guitar cord .

C . RETURN - This 1/4-inch, stereo, TRS (Tip=Left, Ring=Right,

S l e e v e = G ro u n d ) , line-level input jack is designed to accept signal fro m
an external processing device, such as a digital delay or a chorus unit.

D . SEND - This 1/4-inch, stere o ,

TRS, line-level output jack is
designed to feed the
Acoustasonic Junior’s effects bus
to an external signal pro c e s s i n g
device, such as a digital delay or
a chorus unit. On the
Acoustasonic Junior, the tip is left
and the ring is right. This jack
can also be used as a line out.

E. INSTRUMENT INSERT - This 1/4-

inch, unbalanced, input/output,
line-level phone jack is designed
for use with a signal processing
device, such as a digital delay or
reverb unit. A special "Y" line cord
(stereo to dual mono) is required to
use this TRS jack (Ti p = S e n d ,
Ring=Return, Sleeve=Ground).
