The SX waveforms successfully "model" real tube waveforms that breathe and express warmth from mild soft-clip to a full power soaked sustain. Pro players and industry gurus have stated that the SX Tube Emulator actually sounds better than many tube amps! [. . . ] Careful adjustment with the TREBLE control will make this feature very useful. CHANNEL B CLEAN 9. CHANNEL B CLEAN INDICATOR The red LED will illuminate when the CLEAN channel is selected. 2. INPUT B (SX200 ONLY) The CHANNEL B input may be used with the CHANNEL A/B input, allowing two instruments to be played at the same time. Plugging into input B can provide another instrument ready to be played without unplugging. 10. CHANNEL B CLEAN VOLUME Channel switching from the Drive channel into Channel B gives you crisps, clean sounds. Thanks to special mud-cutting circuits that work between the frequencies of 600 and 800 Hz, your guitar tones will be full and vibrant. 3. The LED's next to the volume controls will let you see which channel is functioning. For the FS22 foot switch to function, set the CH SELECT to the " OUT" or "CH A" position. 11. CLEAN BASS, MID & TREBLE CONTROLS To start off with, set the BASS, MID & TREBLE controls at their center (5) position. These controls are most likely to be set according to the type of pickups used (dual or single coil). Most musicians like to reduce the MID to between 3 and 4 for deeper bass and crisper highs. CHANNEL A DRIVE 4. CHANNEL A INDICATOR The LED will illuminate when the OVERDRIVE channel is selected. 12. CHANNEL B CLEAN PRESENCE (SX200 ONLY) For added clarity, the CH B PRESENCE control increases the highest guitar harmonics in the 8-10k Hz range which is ideal for acoustic guitars. A normal bright switch works only in the 3k Hz range leaving your sound somewhat flat. Single or dual coil pickups will determine the level of this control. 4 9 5. CHANNEL A VOLUME The volume of the drive channel is to be used as a master level control. For partial clean output, set the VOLUME control to 10 and turn the DRIVE nearly off.

EFFECTS INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (SX200 only) On the SX200, set the LEVEL control to the highest setting before the effects distort. On the SX50/SX100 models, the input level control is not required as the effects send is internally set. REAR PANEL 18. EFFECTS LOOP (SEND & RETURN JACKS) (SX200 ONLY) Although the SX200 has built-in effects, you may want to use its separate effects loop. For the lowest noise from a pedal effect, use this effects loop instead of plugging the guitar into the effects and then into the amp. To use the EFFECTS LOOP, plug the INPUT of your effects into the SEND jack and the OUTPUT of your effects into the RETURN jack. [. . . ] POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. SERVICING: The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. FUSING: If your unit is equipped with a fuse receptacle, replace only with the same type fuse. [. . . ]
