1. INPUT Jack – Plug in your guitar here. A Relay G10T* transmitter
can be synced and recharged by inserting it into the input jack.
2. AMP and FX Buttons – Press either the AMP or FX button to select
what you want to edit with the knobs. When set to amp, the knobs
control the amp model parameters. When set to FX, the knobs
control the Smart FX.
3. Amp and FX Knobs
AMP - DRIVE – Like the volume or gain knob on other amps,
this knob controls how much “dirt” or “distortion” you get in your
sound. BASS, MID, and TREBLE controls are customized for each
amp model to provide optimal tone control. VOLUME controls the
preset's channel volume and is the primary way to adjust and match
the volume level of your presets.
FX - FX1, FX2, and FX3 - The assignable Smart FX, each with
their own associated color: Dynamics (yellow), Distortions (orange),
Modulation (blue), Delay (green), and Pitch and Synth (purple).
COMP can be used as a volume booster or to limit the dynamics
in your playing. REVERB controls the ambience, atmosphere, and
space for your tone.
4. Quick Loop Button* – Press to enter/exit Quick Looper Mode.
5. Play/Pause Button – Start and stop Guitar Demo Ris or Metronome/
Drum Loops.
