Your new Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier is brought to you by the same Tone–team that created the

Fender®Cyber–Twin™ amplifier. As the crowning achievements of Fender’s most advanced

research and development project, Cyber–Series™ amplifiers are endowed with Fender’s

exclusive

Virtual Tone Interpolation™

technology (patent number 6,222,110). VTI™ technology

enables the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier to be different amplifiers according to circuit design.

Starting with a virtual circuit board, the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier "rewires" its fundamental

architecture to become the essence of all the amplifier greats — Fender’s Blackface™,

Dyna–Touch™, Tweed and Modern amps, and even the best of the British amps!

The Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier allows you to be the amp designer. Start with one of 32

permanent amp and effect setups stored within the Cyber-Deluxe™ amp—twist some knobs,

make some changes, then SAVE to one of the 32 rewritable preset locations reserved onboard

for your original amplifier designs. Or, press MANUAL and start from scratch. MIDI

implementation on the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier enables you to transfer presets to and from

the amp for backup to a PC, or for exchange with other Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier players.

The Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier also puts a huge array of studio–quality effects at your command:

Reverb, Modulation and Delay effects, enough to satisfy most any sonic appetite. And many

are in stereo, so you can use the line outputs, headphones, or an additional amp to enjoy a fully

ambient stereo dimension. The Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier’s Dyna–Touch™ power amp circuitry

and Celestion®speaker deliver powerful, responsive Tone to you and your audience.

Overview Primer

P

RESET MODE

is active whenever the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier is first
switched ON. When a preset is selected (recalled), the amp is instantly
reconfigured to the settings saved within that preset. Presets can be
selected using the front panel DATA WHEEL (or 4–button footswitch or
by MIDI control). There are 32 preset locations (00.–31.) that are
permanent, as indicated by the decimal point in the display (Figure 1a).
There are 32 additional preset locations (32–63) that are rewritable for
your own amp and effects designs. As any preset is selected, the knob
positions usually will not reflect current amp parameter settings

(except when they match coincidentally). However, you can “capture”
control of any knob and use it to modify the sound of
the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier at any time.

To capture (acquire) control of a numbered level knob {C through H, K,
N, R}, simply turn it to match the stored preset value that appears in
the display as the knob is first moved (Figure 1b). An associated green
LED will come ON to indicate knob capture (Figure 1c), and the knob
position will then reflect its actual setting—and what is heard. Further
adjustments are audible, and the display updates the value in
real–time.

A pointer type knob {I, L, O, T} will capture immediately when turned.
Amp and effect types will change instantly from what is in the preset,
to what is indicated by the knob pointer. NOTE: To determine what
amp or effect type is stored within the current preset without changing
it, press and hold the EXIT button {FF} while turning the type knob until
its capture LED comes on—then release EXIT (Figure 1d).

Captured knobs (and their settings) are active temporarily. Save the
preset before selecting a different preset or switching to MANUAL MODE
(see SAVE on page 12).

M

ANUAL MODE

is activated by pressing the MANUAL button—the

adjacent green LED illuminates in M

ANUALMODE

(Figure 1e). Amplifier

settings are released from P

RESETMODE

control, and the front panel
knobs behave traditionally—all knobs are captured, as indicated by the
illumination of capture LEDs. To return to P

RESETMODE

, press the

MANUAL button again and the MANUAL LED will turn OFF.

A. INPUT JACK

Input connection for your guitar.

B. TRIM

Sets the input signal level for proper analog–to–digital conversion. This
knob is always active, and does not have a capture LED (not preset
programmable). Adjust TRIM so the green LED is ON most of the time at
normal playing levels and the red LED flashes occasionally while playing at
peak intensity.

TTrraaddiittiioonnaall CCoonnttrroollss

When captured (LED ON), GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS and
MASTER knobs operate as they would on a traditional guitar amplifier.

C. GAIN

Controls the signal distortion level and contributes to overall amp loudness.
Use VOLUME {D} to adjust for (normalize) any undesired volume level
change resulting from a GAIN level change.

D. VOLUME

Controls the post–distortion signal level and contributes to overall amp
loudness. Use in conjunction with GAIN {C} to normalize volume
differences between presets.

E. TREBLE

Controls the high–frequency tone level.

F. MIDDLE

Controls the mid–frequency tone level.

G. BASS

Controls the low–frequency tone level.

H. MASTER VOLUME

Controls the overall volume output from the amplifier in conjunction with the
other level controls, TRIM {B}, GAIN {C}, and VOLUME {D}. MASTER
VOLUME is the final “gatekeeper” limiting the maximum output level of the
Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier and the MASTER knob position sets that absolute
limit—even when controlling MASTER with an expression pedal or MIDI
messages. MASTER VOLUME is not preset programmable.

MASTER

% The location of the TREBLE,

Rear Panel Overview

KK. MIDI IN PORT

Standard MIDI connection used to receive data from an external MIDI
device (see MIDI Capabilities on page 27).

LL. MIDI OUT PORT

Standard MIDI connection used to transmit data to an external MIDI device
(see MIDI Capabilities on page 27).

MM. HEADPHONES JACK

Connection for headphones using a standard 1/4˝ stereo phone plug. Use
of this jack automatically mutes the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier speaker and
EXPANDER jack {QQ}. This stereo output incorporates speaker simulation
circuitry to produce sound similar to that of miked guitar amp speakers
(compensating for the frequency response of headphones).

Cable Type and Signal Quality

NOTE: Jacks NN, QQ, SS and TT are all impedance balanced TRS
(Tip–Ring–Sleeve) connections, with (+) on tip and (-) on ring. Using
standard TS (Tip–Sleeve) mono guitar cords with these jacks is acceptable,
but the use of 3-conductor (stereo-type) TRS cords could significantly
improve sound quality (signal/noise ratio) in certain situations.

NN. LINE OUT JACKS

Line–level stereo output connections for use with sound reinforcement and
recording equipment. These outputs also incorporate speaker simulation

circuitry. For (summed) mono output, use only the L/MONO jack.

Rear Panel Overview

OO. EXPANDER LEVEL

Balances the signal level sent to an external guitar amplifier connected to
the EXPANDER jack {QQ}, to compensate for differences in apparent
volume output.

PP. EXPANDER PHASE SWITCH

Reverses the phase of the signal at the EXPANDER jack {QQ}, which could
improve the overall sound when the expander function is used with certain
other guitar amplifiers. Select the switch position that sounds the best.

QQ. EXPANDER LINE OUT JACK

Line–level output connection for use in a mono or stereo expansion
configuration. Connect to the power amp input, or the line–in jack on
another guitar amplifier. This output does not incorporate speaker
simulation circuitry and therefore will sound best linked to a guitar amplifier,
rather than a bass or keyboard amplifier or full-range PA system.

RR. EXPANDER MONO/STEREO SWITCH

Selects either MONO or STEREO RIGHT CHANNEL output for the
EXPANDER jack {QQ}. When this switch is OUT, both the internal speaker
and the EXPANDER jack produce a (summed) MONO signal. When this
switch is IN, the internal speaker produces the LEFT stereo channel, and the
expansion amplifier/speaker produces the RIGHT stereo channel. NOTE:
The Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier speaker will always produce a summed
MONO signal, regardless of switch position, when the EXPANDER jack is
not used.

SS. EFFECTS LOOP SEND JACK

Output for connection to the input jack of an external effects device.

TT. EFFECTS LOOP RETURN JACK

Input for connection from the output jack of an external effects device.

UU. EFFECTS LOOP LEVEL SWITCH

A 2–position switch for setting compatibility with effects devices:

• Switch OUT (–10dBV) for use with most foot pedal type effects

• Switch IN (+4dBu) for use with most professional rack-mounted effects

parameter value by turning the DATA WHEEL.

When an EDIT button is pressed, a two letter parameter code and the
parameter’s current value are alternately displayed. The green EDIT LED
also flashes until editing has ended.

After editing one or more parameter values with the DATA WHEEL, press
EXIT to end the edit process. Ending the edit process will keep your
changes active . . . Save your changes to a new preset to secure them.

The EDIT parameters for REVERB, MOD. F/X and DELAY effects groups are
covered on the next 3 pages. Normally, the EDIT button will access one
parameter for each REVERB and MOD. F/X and 2 parameters for DELAY,
but in the Advanced Edit Mode you have access to 4 parameters for each
effects group selection (see Advanced Edit Mode, below).

Advanced Edit Mode

To enable the Advanced Edit Mode: Turn the amplifier OFF. Press and hold
in the three EDIT buttons {J, M and P}, then turn the amplifier ON. Release
the EDIT buttons after the display lights up. Now each of the EDIT buttons
will incrementally access 4 parameters.

To disable the Advanced Edit Mode: Turn the Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier OFF
and ON again.

% Generally, it is unnecessary to edit the

additional parameters of Advanced Edit
Mode. The most commonly adjusted
parameter settings are always
accessible using the EDIT buttons.

Compressor Settings

The function of the Compressor is to moderate signal level for a constant,
steady output by boosting a fading signal level and limiting an excessive
signal level. It is often used to increase the sustain of held notes in guitar
solos, and to avoid overpowering any other instruments with rhythm guitar.
The Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier offers 4 levels of signal compression (see
COMPRESSOR on page 11).

Noise Gate Settings

The function of the Noise Gate is to reduce noise when the guitar input level
is near zero (noise is picked up from environmental sources such as
fluorescent light fixtures). The Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier offers 3 levels of
Noise Gate; low, medium, and high. Each level has an adjustable depth
parameter accessed with a second press (see NOISE GATE on page 12).

% It is generally best to use the lowest

settings necessary to achieve
satisfactory results when adjusting the
Compressor and Noise Gate.

Expression Pedal – Parameter Assignment

One Utility menu item, Expression Pedal - Parameter Assignment, is saved
within each preset. Any of the parameters listed in step 2 below can be
assigned to an expression pedal (optional) for remote control. This
operation also assigns the same parameter to Continuous Controller #11
(for MIDI pedal control).

1) Press UTILITY repeatedly until “Pd” is displayed. A capture LED will light
up to indicate the current assignment.

2) Turn the DATA WHEEL to select from the following parameters:

............Sensitivity if Touch Wah is selected

...

Center Frequency

if Pedal Wah is selected

..........Rotor Speed if Vibratone is selected

• DELAY..........Time

3) Press EXIT. Save the preset to preserve pedal assignment.

NOTE:

This operation uses the capture LEDs to indicate which parameter
is assigned to the expression pedal. When the LED lights up next to a
“numbered” knob, the parameter controlled by that knob is indicated (such
as REVERB level shown to the left). BUT, if one of the three effects groups’
“pointer” knobs is indicated (capture LED ON), it is the parameter accessed

with one press of the EDIT button that is assigned to the expression pedal
for the current effect.

After connecting an expression pedal (see EXPRESSION PEDAL JACK on
page 13), move the pedal through its full range of motion to calibrate it for
use with the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier (a pedal with a “dirty” potentiometer
may not calibrate or function properly). NOTE: When assigned to control
MASTER VOLUME level, the expression pedal is only allowed to adjust
values up to the value set by the MASTER knob position. At any MASTER
knob setting, its capture LED should be ON when the expression pedal is in
the “full toe” (down) position.

In P

RESETMODE

, the expression pedal must capture control of its assigned
parameter by matching the stored value (similar to the way numbered knobs
capture their stored values). The knob and expression pedal can capture
control from each other at any time simply by matching the value set by the
other (see Overview Primer on page 8, for details on capturing).

% Note that when you are adjusting any

parameter using an expression
pedal, the capture LED for the
parameter knob will light up when
pedal and knob settings are equal.

MIDI Capabilities

All MIDI features are accessible in the Utility menu and are global to the
amplifier operating system (independent of the presets).

Any changes made to the MIDI or system configuration are preserved when
power is removed. Default system configuration may be restored by
performing a “Factory Presets Restore” procedure (covered on page 29),
but be aware that this also restores all presets to factory settings.

The Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier supports the MIDI interface standard using
the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT jacks on the rear panel, both 5-pin DIN jacks.
The amplifier uses Channel messages and System Exclusive (SysEx)
messages to accomplish the following tasks:

Receives Channel Messages for:

• Program changes (presets “00.” through “63”).

• Program change activating the Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier’s Tuner remotely.

• Control changes sent from Continuous Controllers (and similar MIDI
devices) to control parameters.

• Control changes remotely setting the “tap” value.

• Control changes to enable/disable effects.

• Control changes that have been made to another Cyber-Deluxe™
amplifier that is transmitting on the MIDI network.

Receives SysEx Messages to:

• Download Utility and preset data from other sources (PCs or another
Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier) using “MIDI Dump.”

• Edit individual Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier parameters/settings.

Transmits Channel Messages for:

• Program changes (presets “00.” through “63”).

• Control changes that have been made to the amplifier by direct control

amplifier receives MIDI channel messages (program and CC changes).

1) Press UTILITY repeatedly until “rc” is displayed (the display will then
alternate between “rc” and the current setting).

2) Select the desired channel with the DATA WHEEL. The range of values is
1—16, Omni (“On”) and Off (“OF”).

The default setting, Omni (“On”), enables the amplifier to respond to
channel messages on all channels. The Off (“OF”) setting configures the
amplifier to ignore all channel messages. System Exclusive messages will
still be accepted and processed if the receive channel is off.

MIDI Transmit Channel Selection

This menu item is used to select the channel on which the Cyber–Deluxe™
amplifier transmits MIDI channel messages (program and CC changes).

1) Press UTILITY repeatedly until “tc” is displayed (the display will then
alternate between “tc” and the current setting).

2) Select the desired channel with the DATA WHEEL. The range of values is
1—16 and Off (“OF”).

The default setting is, Off (“OF”). System Exclusive messages (MIDI data
dumps) can still be transmitted if the transmit channel is off.

System Exclusive ID Selection

This menu item is used to set the System Exclusive ID number for the
Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier.

1) Press UTILITY repeatedly until “id” is displayed (the display will then
alternate between “id” and the current setting).

2) Select the desired ID number with the DATA WHEEL. The range of values
is 17—32 and Omni (“On”).

The default setting is Omni (“On”). In Omni mode, the amplifier receives SysEx
messages from all Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier family devices on the network. In
Omni mode, if the amplifier transmits a SysEx message, then any receiving
Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier will respond to the SysEx message regardless of its
own internal SysEx ID setting. (ID# 33 is used to accomplish this.) Select a
specific SysEx device ID# (17–32) if you wish to limit SysEx message response
only to Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier family devices set to the same number.

received by the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier.

1) Press UTILITY repeatedly until “Ec” is displayed (the display will then
alternate between “Ec” and the current setting).

2) Select Off (“OF”) or On with the DATA WHEEL.

The default setting is Off (“OF”). Only SysEx and channel messages
originating in the amplifier will still be transmitted through MIDI OUT.
Additionally, if set to On, all Continuous Controller channel messages
received at MIDI IN will be echoed (retransmitted) through MIDI OUT.

Memory Protect

This menu item is used to prevent your rewritable presets from being
overwritten.

1) Press UTILITY repeatedly until “Pt” is displayed (the display will then
alternate between “Pt” and the current setting).

2) Select Off (“OF”) or On with the DATA WHEEL.

selected). Another Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier which is connected and
configured as a receive MIDI device will “mirror” the preset parameter
changes (via continuous controller channels). This process uses SysEx

Appendices

Appendix 3 Channel Messages

The Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier implements MIDI Channel Message
convention for Program Changes and Control Changes. The channel
messages defined in this appendix are responded to when received on
enabled channel(s).

The Cyber-Deluxe™ amplifier’s MIDI receive channel must be set to match
the MIDI controller transmit channel, or the Omni receive mode (all channel
receive) must be enabled, to accomplish the program changes and/or
control changes.

These channel messages are also generated and transmitted (if a transmit
channel is enabled) by the amplifier when parameters are changed by front
panel controls or external control devices (such as MIDI Continuous
Controllers or expression pedals). The transmission of preset and control
changes is useful for MIDI applications that record the amplifier settings and
use them for sequencing (replaying) MIDI control during performances.

Changes to the following parameters are transmitted as control changes:

• All numbered knobs except TRIM.

• The EDIT parameters for each of the Reverb, Mod. FX, and Delay effects

selections.

Compressor and Noise Gate setting changes are NOT transmitted via MIDI.

Program Change

Program Change channel messages, are used to select Cyber-Deluxe™
amplifier presets. Program selections correspond one-to-one with preset
numbers 00 through 63. All Programs (presets) are located in Bank #00.

Bank changes to Bank #01, Bank #02, or Bank #03 are ignored, however,
the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier will accept a program change to program 127
in ANY bank to activate/deactivate the Tuner.

Control Change

Control Change channel messages are used to accomplish MIDI control of
amplifier parameters and settings. MIDI devices which support Continuous
Controller protocol can control the parameters listed in the following table
with the corresponding CC numbers.

NOTE: When using a sequencer to control the potentiometer parameters
with Control Change channel messages, the amplifier will allow control only
after the potentiometer setting is “captured” by the sequencer. This is
because the Control Change MIDI support is designed with CC pedal users
in mind, which prefer the capture method in order to avoid abrupt changes
in the audio. To use a sequencer, the potentiometer parameter should be
captured first to assume control of the parameter. Prior to a session using
a sequencer, acquire control of the parameter by ramping the CC value
through full range to capture and then return the value to the desired initial
setting. Instantaneous change control messages by the sequencer can
then occur. If a potentiometer, Expression Pedal, or CC Pedal recaptures
control of the potentiometer parameter, or a preset change is made, the
sequencer must then recapture the potentiometer parameter.

% The Fender®Cyber Foot Controller™

MIDI device will activate/deactivate the
Tuner on a Fender®Cyber-Deluxe™
amplifier when program 127 is sent
from any bank (#00, #01, #02 or #03).
