6) Rotate the DATA WHEEL to explore Amp Design presets. Amp settings and internal 6 circuitry will change automatically! (You will hear the presets change instantly, before the
motorized knobs “catch up.”)
NOTE: You can interrupt the motorized rotation of a knob simply by grabbing it and turning it.
7) Turn to page 8 for an overview of the basic operation of your Cyber–Twin SE™.
Note on the Cyber–Twin SE™ presets
Custom Shop presets were created by various players fluent in the corresponding musical styles. The appropriate guitar was used wherever possible, ala Jimi with a maple-necked Stratocaster®.
Consequently, some presets may seem to be more “trebly” or “bassy” than you would prefer, or seem louder or than some of the other presets. This is natural, because if person “A” plays a Telecaster® in a tiled room, and “B” uses a Jazz guitar in a carpeted room, they will achieve very different end results. You can easily move
the settings and store your changes if desired. Most of our Cyber-presets are designed to let the unique character of your instrument and playing style come through. That’s why thousands of pros and hobbyists alike have
the Cyber-Twin® SE to their tone toolbox!

I n t r o d u c t i o n
Your new Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier is the crowning achievement of Fender’s most advanced research and development project. Brought to you by the same Tone–team that created the original Cyber–Twin™ amplifier, the Cyber-Twin® SE (Second Edition) is refined and updated with additional amp designs and effects. Cyber–Series amplifiers are endowed with Fender’s exclusive Virtual Tone Interpolation™ technology (patent number 6,222,110). VTI™ technology enables the Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier to be different amplifiers according to circuit design. Starting with a virtual circuit board, the Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier "rewires" its fundamental architecture (tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc.) 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-Twin® SE amplifier allows you to be the amp designer. Start with one of 150 permanent amp and effect setups stored within the Cyber-Twin® SE amp—twist some knobs, make some changes, then SAVE to one of the 100 rewritable preset locations reserved onboard for your original amplifier designs. MIDI implementation on the Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier enables you to transfer presets to and from the amp for backup to a PC, or for exchange with other Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier players.
The Cyber-Twin® SE 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 or headphones to enjoy a fully ambient stereo dimension. The Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier’s Dyna–Touch™ power amp circuitry and Celestion® speakers deliver powerful, responsive Tone to you and your audience.

1 Overview
Each preset contains a complete set of amplifier and effects settings.
This page introduces key concepts for the basic operation of your Cyber–Twin SE™. The following pages provide an overview of each item on the front and rear panels.
The DISPLAY shows vital information and menus for the Cyber-Twin® SE. The DATA WHEEL works dynamically with the display giving you full control over preset selection, effect parameters and system configuration. The display also responds to the use of panel knobs or buttons providing useful information. You can enter different MODES to edit amplifier designs, effects and system utilities; each mode determines the functions of the display and data wheel.
PLAY MODE is active whenever the Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier is first switched on. After booting up, the display will show information about the current preset. The first line displays the preset location (bank/number) and name. The second line displays the type of tone stack controls (treble, middle, bass), tone stack location (pre/post distortion) and the active effect. In play mode, the data wheel selects presets.
There are three banks of PRESETS. The FENDER CUSTOM SHOP (C00-C99) and YOUR AMP COLLECTION (A00-A49) are permanent presets. The PLAYER’S LOUNGE (P00-P99) presets are rewritable for you to save your own amp and effect designs.
The Cyber-Twin® SE is instantly reconfigured to the settings saved within a selected preset. The 8 MOTORIZED knobs on the Cyber-Twin® SE automatically adjust to the preset settings. You can safely interrupt knob rotation anytime by manually stopping it. Note that the display will temporarily indicate knob position when turned manually.
Changes you make to amplifier settings (volume, tone, effects, etc.) will be lost upon selecting a different preset or turning the amplifier off, unless you save them. SAVE simply by pressing SAVE, selecting a Player’s Lounge preset to overwrite and pressing SAVE again. The SAVE LED blinks as a reminder to save settings once a change is made. NOTE: MEMORY
PROTECTION must be disabled before you can save! (see page 24).
AMP EDIT MODE, FX EDIT MODE and UTILITY MODE are activated by pressing the corresponding buttons to the right of the display. Use these modes for modifying amp design, selecting and editing effects and for system management. TUNER MODE is activated using the TUNER button; use it to tune your guitar. PLAY MODE is reactivated by pressing EXIT. Use it to play guitar!
Two FOOTSWITCHES are supplied with your Cyber-Twin® SE. Connect them to the appropriate rear panel jacks to enable remote selection of your Quick Access buttons and Reverb/Effects bypass.

F ro n t P a n e l O v e r v i e w
A. INPUT JACK
Input connection for your guitar.
B. TRIM
Sets the input signal level for proper analog–to–digital conversion. Adjust
TRIM so that most of the green LEDs |
stay on at normal playing |
|
levels and the red LED |
flashes |
occasionally while playing at peak |
intensity. This knob is not preset programmable nor motorized.
C.GAIN
Adjusts the distortion level and contributes to overall amplifier loudness. Use VOLUME {D} to compensate for any undesired volume level change resulting from a GAIN level change.
D.VOLUME
Adjusts the post–distortion signal level and contributes to overall amp loudness. Use in conjunction with GAIN {C} to normalize volume differences between presets.
Several knobs affect the overall loudness of the amplifier:

F.PRESENCE
Adjusts tone in the ultra-high frequency range after the distortion circuitry for a crisp tone sparkle.
G.REVERB
Adjusts the level of the active Reverb. Enter AMP edit mode to select Reverb types and edit Reverb parameters (see page 14).
H.MASTER VOLUME
Controls the overall loudness of the amplifier globally, independent of any preset. MASTER VOLUME is not preset programmable, although it is motorized so that it can be controlled remotely by expression pedal or MIDI. Remote operation of MASTER VOLUME is limited to a maximum value defined by where the MASTER VOLUME is set manually on the front panel. Set the MASTER VOLUME knob to the desired maximum level and motorized control will be confined to the range below that boundary.
