WIRING TIPS The illustration on the next page shows you how to connect your guitar to the amplifier. If you want to use an effects pedal (for example, the BEHRINGER X V-AMP) to experiment with some out-of-theordinary sounds, you can connect your guitar directly to the input of the effects processor. Then, connect a second cable from the effects output to the input on your guitar amp. If you have an electronic tuner, please be sure to insert it pre effects device, so that the tuner only receives a dry signal without effects components. X V-AMP: no additional tuner required. + The built-in loudspeaker is disabled automatically when you plug in the headphone . Fig. 3. 1: Upper side: Control elements Connect your guitar to the INST(RUMENT) INPUT jack, using a standard guitar cable with a 1/4" TS connector. The GAIN control determines the volume level and the amount of distortion. Use GAIN to adjust the amount of distortion and the MASTER control to set the volume level . Guitar amps are optimally matched to the sound of guitars by shifting the point at which middle frequencies are lowered. The TREBLE control governs the high-frequency range to give your guitar a more cutting sound. Use the CD INPUT to connect the output of your CD player, tape deck, CD or MD walkman, for example, to practice and play along to music or guitar tutorial CDs. If your CD player is equipped with cinch outputs, youll need an adapter cable, which you can buy at your local music shop. Whenever you press the POWER switch or unplug your guitar, be sure to set the MASTER control to zero first. Otherwise, a loud crackling noise may be produced, which could damage your loudspeaker or even your hearing. The headphone signal can also be routed to a mixing console or sound reinforcement system.
