Tutorial
This section takes you through step-by-step explanations of how to make
connections to your amp, create sounds, save or reset the sounds you've
created, and use rhythm patterns. Once you've followed along with these
explanations, you'll understand nearly all of the operations of the MIMX.
The illustrations appearing here are taken from the control panel of the
MIMX 150H.
1. Connections
ENGLISH
1)-a Carefully read the cautions for use, and then set up your amp. Next
use the included power cable to connect the rear panel 12 AC INPUT to
an electrical outlet.
Note: The sound (particularly the low-frequency response) of the amp
will change according to the location and conditions in which you set up
the amp.
1)-b If you're using the MIMX 150H, connect 14 SPEAKER OUT to the
4Ω input jack of your speaker cabinet. Use a speaker cable to make this
connection. On Ibanez IS series speaker cabinets, there are two input
jacks. Use the one marked MONO 4Ω.
2) Connect your electric guitar to 1 INPUT. Use a shielded cable to
make the connections.
3) If you're using a compact effect device, use a shielded cable to connect it between your guitar and amp.
4) Make sure that 10 MASTER volume is set to 0, and turn on the
POWER switch. The startup animation will appear, and the amp is ready
to use.
Note: When you're finished using the amp, make sure that 10 MASTER
volume is set to 0 and then turn off the 11 POWER switch.
● If you're using the IFC2
By connecting the optional IFC2 (Sold separately), you can access the
additional five pedal effects. For details on making connections, refer to
the IFC2 operating manual.

2. Creating your sound
Let's get started creating some sounds. In this example, we're going to
use the number 11 drive pattern PSYCHO.
1) In the 3 Memory section, click the MANUAL switch.
This selects manual mode, where all sound settings will be according to the actual position of the controls.
2) Raise the 10 MASTER volume to a position between 8 o'clock
and 12 o'clock.
Set the 2 Preamp section as follows.
This will produce a very tight distortion sound. Now let's add some effects.
4) First we'll add the 7 MODULATION effect. Make the following settings.
FX TYPE&PARAMETER:FLANGER 15
FX MIX LEVEL :20
TAP TEMPO :10
*The above illustration shows the
MIMX 150H.
11
5) Next we will add the 8 DELAY&REVERB effect. Make the following
settings.
FX TYPE&PARAMETER:REVERB HL 10
FX MIX LEVEL :30
TAP TEMPO :1
*The above illustration shows the
MIMX 150H.
You'll notice that the sound has become more spacious. Now go ahead
and try creating your own sounds in the same way. Next we will learn
how to save a sound you've created.
Note: This amp is capable
of producing extremely loud
volumes. Please set the
MASTER volume in a way
that will not inconvenience
other people nearby.
* Refer to "About the TAP
switch" later in this manual.
Note: The TAP switch will respond
even to a light touch. Striking it with
excessive force will damage it so
please tap lightly.
10
3. Saving a sound you created
In this section you'll learn how to save a sound you've created. We'll
save your new sound in bank A, channel 1.
* For details on initializing the memory, refer to 5. Factory reset
1) Make sure that the 5 Display indicates M. Then, hold down the switch
marked "1" for three seconds or longer. When the settings have been
saved, the 5 Display will indicate A1, and will blink.
Note: Each channel consists of two banks, A and B. If you
want to save settings in bank A, channel 1 as described in this
tutorial after creating your sound in manual mode, you must
first click "1", make sure that you're currently in bank A, and
then click the MANUAL switch once again to return to manual
mode before you proceed with the following steps.
Hold down for three seconds or longer.
A sound you create in manual mode as described here can be saved in
any channel. A sound you create in each bank can be saved in a channel within that bank.
Here's an example.
2) Up to this point, we've used bank A, channel 1 to create a sound, but
now we're going to slightly adjust the position of each control and save
the result in bank A, channel 2. Perform the following steps.
4. Using rhythm patterns
This section explains how to use rhythm patterns.
1) We'll start by playing a rhythm. Click the ON/OFF switch. The TAP
switch will blink, and you'll hear drum sounds.
Note: Use the RHYTHM knob to adjust the volume appropriately.
2) Next we'll change the pattern. Press + or - until the 5 Display indicates 16.
3) Let's make the tempo a bit faster. Click the TAP switch several times
at a consistent rhythm until the 5 Display indicates 120.
Play a rhythm pattern Change the rhythm pattern Change the rhythm speed
You can use rhythm patterns by following the procedure described above.

The AMP SELECTION dial lets you choose from eleven types of preamps.
Of the numerous guitar amps that exist, Ibanez has focused on the distinctive sounds of ten classic amplifiers that are particularly admired by
many guitarists. Everything from the guitar input to the speaker output
has been analyzed and stored as a preamp. The MIMX is designed so
that sounds similar to these amps can be easily obtained. The EQ for
each preset takes into consideration the sampled amplifier's overall sound
ENGLISH
including the response when things such as "Presence," "Bright," "Resonance" or "Deep" Controls are engaged (or not) allowing each model to
obtain startlingly detailed snapshots of classic tones. These are not exact replications by any means but more a "flavor" if you will. Finally a
tight, heavy, and smooth Ibanez original sound is provided as Selection
Number 11. It is appropriately named, "Psycho."
PLEASE NOTE: In the following pre-amp descriptions, names of nonIbanez products are used to give you understandable and familiar tonal
references and to show the kinds of amp sounds that inspired the MIMX
preamp settings. These references and comparisons to non-Ibanez products are entirely subjective. Ibanez does not make any claim whatsoever
that the MIMX pre-amps are exact tonal representations of the amps
they reference or are compared to. That said, we think you're going to
love what you hear with the vast selections of tones you can achieve
with your new MIMX.

60s Clean:
This preset was created to bring to mind the sound of one of the classic
amps made by Fender®, the '65 Twin Reverb®, being played through its
NORMAL Channel with the BRIGHT Switch OFF. Mentioning the clean
sounds of the '60s will bring this amp to anyone's mind. The sound design of this preamp emphasizes the sparkling crisp high end and solid
lows reminiscent of the Classic '60s sounds, but it still has a pleasantly
unique sound all its own.
Jazz Combo:
This selection was inspired by the Roland® JC-120, famed for its ability
to convey the straightforward tone of the guitar itself when played through
CHANNEL 1 with the BRIGHT Switch OFF and softened overall tonally.
This pre-amp's wide range and uncolored sound over a wide range from
low to high is a good match for effect processors, making this a highly
versatile selection.
70s Brit:
This is a sound we find reminiscent of the classic Marshall® "JCM800
2203" combined with the overdrive obtained when the Ibanez®
TUBESCREAMER®/TS-9 is employed as a drive booster. From solid
chording to glistening solos, this preamp covers a wide range of creative
sounds.
Brit Blues:
The history of the VOX® "AC30" parallels a broad stream of musical
history including blues, rock, and pop. Since its fame continues undiminished to this day, and it is still loved by numerous musicians, we thought
a preamp influenced by this type of sound was simply a no-brainer. When
creating the MIMX flavor we added more gain with a distinctively crisp
midrange and tightness so as to in our mind enhance the classic tone.
The nuances of your picking will be transmitted faithfully, allowing you to
play with a wide variety of tones.
US Blues:
We find this selection very reminiscent of the Fender® "Hot Rod Deville™"
played through the DRIVE channel with BRIGHT set to NORMAL, and
MORE DRIVE turned ON. The MIMX has tightened up low-end of that
sound and switched the EQ sets to shelving style. The particular attrac-
tion of this selection is a bright sound with a distinctively hard resonance.
From a lower gain sound that emphasizes the hard tonal character to
the great sounding drive you get by maxing out the gain, this preamp
delivers a broad palette of tones.
Rock:
This selection is our take on the sound of the "Ecstasy 101B EL34 Version," a multi-function tube amp made by the Bogner Corporation, which
is famous for its boutique amps. The settings response provides an improved dynamic range from low gain to high gain with more EQ control
level. While notable for its edged tone, this setting will give you a wide
variety from sweet and clean to hard chording sounds, as well as sustaining overdrive sounds.
Hard Rock:
First only offered to a few as custom-made amps, Soldano's® "SL0100" went on to achieve wider success and reknown. We created this
selection to be similar to the sound of the SLO-100's OVERDRIVE channel with the BRIGHT switch at NORMAL but reduced the possibility of
feedback with an overall tension and tightness. We believe the high gain
sound is particularly good and is an ideal choice for leads or heavy riffs.
Guitar God:
Here you have our idea of what the Peavey® "5150 II®" sounds like. In
creating this MIMX preamp, we listened to both the actual Peavey amp
as well as the audio sources used on a CD in order to reproduce the
sounds that, to our ears, are reminiscent of those recorded. The tight low
end is nice for riffs that intermingle muted notes, and the distortion will
make your sustained solos memorable.
90s Brit:
This preamp was also designed by referring to both the amp, in this case
the Marshall® "JCM2000 DSL100" amp, and to the actual audio CD
sources of a band who used this amp. Our take on this sound produces
a distortion component that is rough, but the sound is tight and well
defined with good separation of notes, making it usable for everything
from sparkling arpeggios to flashy riffs. Your guitar sound will be guaranteed to stand out, even in a loud band.
LA Heavy:
The Mesa/Boogie® "Dual Rectifier® Solo Head" has influenced numerous musicians of heavy styles. This preamp brings you our interpretation of a collage of the classic sounds of a model introduced in 1989 that
has defined modern heavy guitar tone. Our version provides the distortion sound of the original 6L6 power tubes through the RED channel
with the power supply in BOLD mode, using the silicon diode rectifier
mode finally played through an Ibanez® Thermion® TN412A four-twelve
cabinet. The result is a monstrous low end with good crunch.
Psycho:
This is an original Ibanez sound, designed to capture the mainstream of
today's heavy rock scene. It features a tight and sharp low end, with
superb crispness. By adjusting the EQ settings, you can use this sound
for any style of music.

Factory Presets
These are the sound settings that are assigned to each channel A1-B5
when the MIMX is shipped from the factory. With a single click of a button, you can obtain the MIMX's distinctive combinations of sound and
effects.
A1: Immortal Shred
AMP SELECTION: Psycho
This preset is ideal for the speedy riffs that are typical of the slash metal
ENGLISH
or death metal bands in today's music scene. The mid-range is cut to
emphasize the high and low ranges, and a firm and robust sound is
created by raising the bass without excessively reducing the middle.
A2: Shrapnel Heroes
AMP SELECTION: Psycho
This preset can be used for guitar solos in a broad range from hard rock
to heavy metal. The EQ is relatively flat. If you add a fairly fast delay this
preset will give you a nice sound for soloing.
A3: Cruel Heaviness
AMP SELECTION: 90s Brit
This preset is for riffs that emphasize rhythm. It is ideal for low-tempo
songs and the boosted low range will give you a heavy distortion sound
that will pull together the sound of your band. This is ideal for the loud
rock sounds of today's music scene.
A4: Legend of the Beast
AMP STYLE: Hard Rock
This is a solo guitar preset for that classic 80's Metal Sound. This preset
has a sound character that is suggestive of the Golden Age of Metal as
typified by numerous British and LA metal bands.
A5: Emotional Clean
AMP STYLE: 60s Clean
This preset gives you thick lows, a brittle attack, and reverb to create a
warm atmosphere. By using a single-coil pickup you can produce a vintage brilliant sound. By lowering the mix level of the reverb effect you
can emphasize the sense of attack.
18
B1: Sounds of the Right Hand
AMP SELECTION: Guitar God
This preset is ideal not only for heavy and tight riffs but also leads. The
distortion obtained by raising the GAIN to the maximum and a punchy
mid-range are a good match for humbucking pickups. A flanger is lightly
applied to produce a sense of drive, and delay is added to create spatial
effect.
B2: Purple Tone
AMP SELECTION: Rock
This is a high gain setting that strongly cuts the low range and adds a
distinctive character to the mid-range. By using a single coil pickup, you
can recapture the sound of the mid 70's. As you raise the MIDDLE control, the sound will take on a classical atmosphere --- adjust to your taste.
To take full advantage of this sound, play the hard rock riffs that were
revolutionary at the time and have now become the origin of today's
heavy rock.
B3: Crystal Clean
AMP SELECTION: Jazz Combo
This preset was designed to produce sparklingly clean and crystal clear
sounds. It is most suited to the hard rock and heavy metal "Power Ballads" of the 80's and 90's. Try playing it using single-coil pickups, either
the center pickup or a combination of the neck/middle pickups. Raise
the effect mix level to get a more lavish sound.
B4: Solo DNA
AMP SELECTION: Rock
This preset was created for you to play those shredding solos made
famous by the guitar gods of the 80's! It's a setting that's great for going
wild with your musicality. Make free use of string bending, dive bombing,
pinch harmonics, sweep arpeggios and express your imagination.
B5: Samurai Edge
AMP SELECTION: 70s Brit
This preset is a good choice for comping or bluesy riffs played with a
single coil pickup. It has just the right amount of distortion to accentuate
the nuances of your picking, and has a nice crisp high end. Adjust the
amount of reverb to your taste.
Proper Use of the Tap Switch
The MIMX provides a TAP switch that you can use to control the speed
of the effects and the rhythm. You might find this somewhat unfamiliar in
the beginning, but soon you'll be able to use it easily and intuitively.
By clicking(tapping) this switch several times(not just twice), you can
specify the desired speed. As you continue clicking, the average interval
will appear in the 5 Display. A good rule of thumb for use is to lightly tap
the switch in tempo for a complete measure of the passage that you are
about to play.
For those interested in the "technicals", a detailed explanation of how
the TAP function detects the average tempo is given below.
A moving average
A method called "moving average" is used to determine the tempo speed
via the TAP switch. For example if you want to set the drum tempo to
120 BPM, it's quite difficult to specify the precise tempo simply by click
the TAP switch only twice.
Four-value moving average (here we will use four values for our explanation)
The average value of the four most recent operations of the TAP switch is used as
the value. This allows any inaccuracies of your actual operation to be absorbed.

(1+2)

Two-value moving average
You will need to press the TAP switch at an accurate rhythm
so that the interval between the first and second presses of
the TAP switch is 60/120 seconds = 0.5 seconds.
(1+2+3)3(1+2+3+4)4(2+3+4+5)
The MIMX uses a seven-value moving average. By marking the beats
with the TAP switch, you can obtain a more accurate tempo setting.

About the "currently-edited" indication of the center display
The MIMX has a "currently-edited" LED that will light as shown in the
illustration below.
The MIMX provides analog-type rotary
controls in the interests of operability.

Knob

Position of actual
sound
Display will light to indicate this. When you move the control to the position that corresponds to the memorized value, the "currently-edited" indication will disappear. This is the value that is stored in the selected
channel.
Here's an example.
1) Click A1.
2) Move the GAIN control to 12 o'clock. The
Display will indicate 50, and the dot will light. This
indicates that the gain has been edited, and is different from the gain value in memory.
3) Move the GAIN control to the maximum position. The 5 Display will indicate 100, and the dot
will go dark. This indicates that the gain value in
memory is shown in the 5 Display.
* This function is provided for all controls. You can use it to compare the
stored control values with the current value, or to check the contents that
are stored in each channel.
* If you click the MANUAL switch to select manual mode, the position of
every control will correspond to the actual value that determines the sound.
However when you click a channel
switch A1-B5 to recall the stored settings, the sound settings recalled to the
front panel control knobs will not necessarily correspond to the physical
position of the knobs. For this reason,
when you click a channel switch to recall a memory, and then move a control to a position that differs from the
memorized value, the "currently-edited" LED in the lower right of the

Troubleshooting
First check that your shielded guitar cable, speaker cable, and power cable are
connected correctly. If possible, use a tester to check the cable or try using an
alternate cable or amp to verify your cable’s condition.
1. The power supply cannot be switched on.
• Check that the power cable has been connected correctly.
• Try plugging it into a different socket and see if the same problem occurs.
2. The power supply can be switched on, but no sound is
heard.
• Check that the guitar has been connected correctly.
• Remove any external components connected to the effects loop and between
the guitar and the amplifier and check to see if any sound is heard.
• Use a different shielded cable and check to see if any sound is heard.
• Check to see if the volume on the guitar is set to “0”.
• Use a different guitar and see if any sound is heard.
• Check to see if the volume on the amplifier is set to “0”.
• Check to see if the headphones are connected.
• Is there still no sound when you raise the master volume?
• Check to see if you're using the separately sold IFC2 foot controller as a volume
pedal, and the pedal is in the fully returned position (toward yourself).
3. Noise is heard.
• Check to see if anything in the immediate vicinity is resonating or banging against
the amplifier to produce the noise.
• Check to see if the plug cover on the shielded cable is loose.
• Make sure that the action (string height) of your guitar is set correctly.
• Use another guitar, effects or other external components, and cable to see if the
same noise is produced.
4.No sound when you connect a CD.
• Make sure that the volume of the CD player is not turned to 0.
• Make sure that the cable is connected correctly.
• Try using another cable and see whether any sound is heard.
5. The CD sounds wrong.
Does the cable you’re using have a stereo plug? Could you be using a monaural plug?
6. No sound is produced in the headphones.
• Check that the headphones are connected correctly.
• Connect another set of headphones and see if sound is produced.
7. No drum sounds.
• Check to see if the drum volume is set to 0.
• Check to see if the master volume is set to 0.
• Check to see if headphones are connected.
8. Modulation effect is not applied.
• Check to see if the mix level is set to 0.
• Check to see if you're using the tuner built into the MIMX.
• Check to see if you're using the separately sold IFC2 foot controller to control
PEDAL PITCH.
9. Delay effect is not applied.
• Check to see if the mix level is set to 0.
• Is there any change when you operate tap?
• Check to see if you're using the tuner built into the MIMX.
10. Reverb effect is not applied.
• Check to see if the mix level is set to 0.
• Check to see if there any change when you operate tap.
• Check to see if you're using the Drum function.
• Check to see if you're using the tuner built into the MIMX.
11. Can't use the pedal effect.
• Is the separately sold IFC2 foot controller connected?
• Are you using the cable included with the IFC2?
• Check to see if you're using the tuner built into the MIMX.

Fender®HotRodDevilleTMのDRIVEチャンネル、BRIGHT：
NORMAL、MORE DRIVE：ONのサウンドを参照しました。MIMXは
ロー・エンドをよりタイトに調整し、EQはシェルビング・タイプを採
用しています。このモデルは独特の硬質な響きのする明るいサウンドが
特長的で、GAINを押さえ目にして硬質な印象を前面に押し出したサウ
ンドからGAINを最大に上げた音抜けのよいドライブ・サウンドまでの
幅広い音作りに対応することが出来るプリアンプです。
