If you're using guitar amps, set the tone controls flat (no boost or cut) and balance the levels between them. If you're using a console, pan the FX7 input channels hard left and right, and turn down the high frequency EQ for best results. MONO: Connect the Left output to a guitar amplifier or input of a mixing console. OPTIONAL: Connect a volume type or 0/+5v controller pedal to the Controller input of the FX7. Power up the FX7 by connecting the supplied AC adapter between the FX7 and a power outlet. Play your instrument and watch the Clip LED on the FX7 carefully as you set the Input knob. Turn up the input level until the Clip LED begins to light, and reduce the input level slightly. When the Input knob is set properly, the Clip LED should not flicker on the loudest passages. Set the output level as desired. 4) 5) 6) FX7 owner's manual 7 signal processing SECTION 2 - PROGRAMMING THE FX7 Navigating The FX7 The FX7 is designed to be both easy to program and flexible.
