1. Set the (INPUT) 1 knob and the VOLUME knob to
the minimum position, and connect your guitar to the
INPUT 1 jack.
2. Use the (INPUT) 1 knob to adjust the input level.
To avoid signal clipping (signal that’s too loud) this knob
should be adjusted so that the peak LED doesn’t light up
when signal is being loudly input.
3. While playing your guitar, use the VOLUME knob to
adjust the volume that is output from the speakers.
4. Use the TREBLE knob and BASS knob to adjust the
tone.

You can apply a reverb eect to the signals from the MIC
IN jack, INPUT 1 jack, and INPUT 2 jack.
Tip: If you’re using a VOX VFS5 foot switch, you can use
it to turn reverb on/o.
