eadphones

The 3.5mm Headphone socket(16) allows the connection of a pair of headphones.When a jack is i

nserted into the headphonesocket the unit’s

speaker is muted.

Power

The Power switch (17) turns the amplifieron and off. If c

urrentsettings have not been storedthey will be lost.

Restoring Settings - WARNING ALL AMP & FOOTCONTROLLER ALLOCATIONS WILL BE LOST

o restore the unit to factorysettings (see handbook rear cover) you must hold the Store switch (12) while powering on the unit. The Clean/Crunch (3) and OD-1/OD-2 (5) lights will lightorange. Youcan then release the Store switch (12).

Resetting the amplifier will erase all user Channel presets and all user Footcontroller allocations, replacing them with the factorypresets.

hannelSelection

The amplifier has 4 channels - Clean, Crunch,OD-1 & OD-2.

Pressing the Clean/Crunch switch(3) selects between t

he Clean (GreenLight) and Crunch (Red Light)

channels.

ressing the OD-1/OD-2switch (5) selects between

he OD-1 (Green Light) and OD-2 (Red Light)

channels.

hen movingfrom an OD channelto a Clean/Crunchchannel, the unit remembers the last channel you were in before leaving.E.g. If you have movedfrom the Crunch Channel to an OD channel and you press the Clean/Crunch switch (3), the amplifier will revertback to the Crunchchannel ratherthan starting againin the Clean channel.

Modes

The amplifier operatesin two modes- Presetand Manual.

To changebetween these two modes,you musthold the Tap switch (10) down for at leasttwo seconds. When in manual mode the Store switch (12) lights red and the selectedchannel light (3 or 5) willstart to flash.

The amplifier will remember the last mode it was in afterpower off and revert to it the next time it is powered on.

Preset

This is the factory default operation of the amplifier.

In Preset mode the position of all controls except MasterVolume(13) are stored within each channel. Each channel should be considered a preset.

Selecting a channel automatically recalls the settings storedwithin the channel.Note: The physical position of the front panel controls, exceptMaster Volume (13) whichis not storable, will now not match the actual settings of the amplifier. All front panel switches will automatically update.

Altering a control will cause the associated parameter to jump to the current physical position of that control.

When a control is alteredthe selected channellight (3 or 5) will startto flashindicatingthat the current presethas been altered.

To storethe updated settings, push the Store switch (12).

If you select another channel without pressingStore (12) then any altered settings will be lost as the new channel and its settings are recalled.

Manual

In manual mode the amp’s settings always match the physical positionsof the controls.

Changing channelonly changes the channel,NO presets are recalled,NO othercontrols are altered.

ressing Store (12) will store the current settings into the selected channel.These can then be recalled when usingthe unit in Presetmode.

When channel settingshave been stored the current c

hannellight (3 or 5) will stop flashingindicatingthe presethas been saved.

everb& FX

he amplifier providestwo simultaneous digital effects, Reverb (Studio or Spring) and one of five FX (Chorus, Phaser, Flanger,Delay or Octave)

Reverb

The Reverbcontrol (8) sets the amount of signal sent to either one of the two reverb options- Studioor SpringWhen the Reverb control (8) is set to ‘0’ the reverbis switched off, the status of the reverb is also indicated on the optional footcontroller.

The FX control is essentially split into fivesegments and selects the type of FX and adjustsits associated settings - except in the caseof Octavewhich has a simplesetting. When the FX control is set to ‘0’ the FX are switched off, the status of the FX is also indicated on the optionalfootcontroller.

Tap Tempo

The Tap Tempo switch (10) is used for the Delay effect only.

The Tap Tempo switch matches the delay time to the time between two presses.

The Tap Tempo LED flashes red at the selected/recalleddelay time.

The numberof repeats is reduced as the delay time decreases.

If you change from a channel with delayto one without delay the effect will spill between channels.

If you change from a channel with delayto a channel with delay set to a different delay time the delayeffect will not spill between channels.

MP3 / Line In

The 3.5mm MP3 / Line In socket (14) allows the connection of an external audio source e.g. MP3 or CD player.

FootcontrollerFactory Settings

Footswitch 1: Clean/Crunch Switch Footswitch 2: OD-1/OD-2 Switch Footswitch 3: Tap Tempo Switch Footswitch 4: Tuner

Programming

The footswitch can be programmed to store front panel switches (Switch Store) or complete presets (Preset Store).

SwitchStore To assign a front panel switch to a Footswitch location (1), press and hold the front panel switch

and while held down press the Footswitch (1) you wish to assign it to.

The Digital Display (3) will swirl to show that the footswitch has been assigned. You can then release the footswitch and front panel switch.

PresetStore To assign a preset to a Footswitch (1), select the

required channel and modify the front panel controls if required, press and hold the Store switch on the front panel and while held down, press your chosen Footswitch (1).

The Digital Display (3) will swirl to show that the footswitch has been assigned. You can then release the footswitch and Store switch.

Footcontroller Presets are independent of the dedicated Channel presets stored within the amplifier. This allows you to create a number of presets based on the same channel/pre-amp setting.

hen either a Channel preset or Footswitch preset has been altered the Digital Display (3) will begin to flash. The footcontroller will flash the relevant n

umber if a Footswitch preset has been altered or will flash a “-“ if a Channel preset has been a

ltered.

Pressing only the Store switch at this point will o

verwrite the altered Channel or Footswitch p

reset.

To store an altered Channel preset to the F

ootswitch instead, hold the Store switch and while

held down, press your chosen Footswitch (1) - Just like a normal Preset Store.

To store an altered Footswitch Preset to another Footswitch hold the Store switch and while held down,

press your chosen Footswitch (1) - Just like a nor mal Preset Store.

Digital Display

When recalling a footswitch preset, the Digital Display (3) will indicate which footswitch number has been pressed.

If a Channel preset has been recalled the Digital Display (3) will remain blank.

When either a Channel preset or Footswitch preset has been altered the Digital Display (3) will begin to flash. The footswitch will flash the relevant number if a Footswitch preset has been altered or will flash a “-“ if a Channel preset has been altered.

Tuner

The Tuner can be accessed in two ways:

MG15CFX & MG30CFX

By simultaneously pushing the Tap (10) and Store (12) switches on the front panel or by assigning the Tuner to the footswitch. Note: On factory reset / first switch on, the Tuner is already assigned to Footswitch number 4.

Assigning the Tuner to a footswitch is carried out like any other Switch Store. To assign the Tuner to the footswitch hold down the Tap (10) and Store (12) switches and press the chosen footswitch you wish to assign it to. The Digital Display (3) will swirl to show that the footswitch has been assigned. You can then release the footswitch and front panel switch.

G50CFX & MG100CFX

By simultaneously pushing the Damping (17) and Store (19) switches on the front panel or by a

ssigning the Tuner to the footswitch. Note: On factory reset / first switch on, the Tuner is already a

ssigned to Footswitch number 4.

Assigning the Tuner to a footswitch is carried out l

ike any other Switch Store. To assign the Tuner to

he footswitch hold down the Damping (17) and Store (19) switches and press the chosen footswitch you wish to assign it to. The Digital Display (3) will s

wirl to show that the footswitch has been assigned. You can then release the footswitch and front panel switches.

For all amplifiers, when entering Tuner mode the unit mutes and Clean/Crunch (3) and OD-1/OD-2 (5) switches light yellow.

The Digital Display (3) indicates the closest current note being played. The indicator dot on the lower right hand corner shows if the current closest note is #.

The LED Status Panel (2) is used to show how far away from the closest note the current note being played is. When the central FX Status LED lights, it indicates the correct tuning, with the others progressively indicating the tuning is up to 50 cents up or down.

To exit the Tuner push any footswitch, the amplifier will then exit returning to the settings before entering.
