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,

S. TUNER ON/OFF

Activates/deactivates the Tuner. When the Tuner is ON, the green “ON” LED
illuminates and audio output is muted. Tune your guitar by striking a single
string. The note closest to that played will appear in the display. Only
sharps (#) are indicated, so for example, D-flat will appear as “Cª” (C-sharp)
in the display. Watch the arc of Tuner LEDs while tuning a string—when the
green center LED is ON, the string is properly tuned to the displayed note.
The red LEDs indicate approximately how much in “cents” the string is out
of tune. (There are 100 cents between adjacent semi-tones.)

T. AMP TYPE

Selects from 16 variations of 5 amplifier types. Clockwise selections within
each AMP TYPE increase Gain and response from clean to overdriven, as
illustrated. Specific characteristics of each variation are detailed in the next
section (see the Amp Type Selections on page 16).

NOTE: Presets will have several amplifier parameters optimized for their
specific Amp Type settings. Changing the Amp Type could result in sudden
tonal and/or volume changes. This is easily remedied by readjusting Gain,
Volume and Tone settings.
