User manual PEAVEY BASIC 60

[. . . ] Within a small, light weight combo package, Peavey has managed to emulate both the voicing and dampening characteristics of some of the world's most popular amplifiers using TransTube® Technology. There are extra functions within the Transformer that are not made apparent by the front panel labeling. Just like a computer may have "hot key" combinations (pressing two keys will perform a distinct function), the Transformer uses certain button and knob combinations to achieve special functions. A chart indicating these "hot key" combinations is included for quick reference and a complete section, Transformer Tricks, has been dedicated to the subject. [. . . ] If the LEDs light in a counter clockwise rotation then the note is flat. When the note is tuned, all red and yellow LEDs will illuminate simulatneously, making it very obvious. The Yellow LEDs always light up dimmly when the tuner is first activated. REMOTE CABLE CONNECTOR This eight-pin DIN is used to transmit and receive MIDI commands to and from the Transformer MIDI In/Footswitch (23). Certain functions, such as the tuner, are also communicated through this connection. Only Peavey's eight-pin MIDI/Communication combo cable (included) should be used for this connection. This section provides short tutorials demonstrating various features and operation scenarios. Since tuning is generally done before playing, let's learn how to use the built-in strobe-style tuner. You should complete steps 1 - 6 of the Quick Start section on page 3 before beginning this tutorial. Your Transformer features a dual-mode tuner which can be viewed from both the front panel of the unit and/or the footswitch. Let's first take a look at how the front panel and footswitch "transform" to display the tuner functions. the note indicated (lit up) by the Transformer is the closest standard tuning note in relation to the current note being played. The Transformer will indicate whether the note is sharp or flat by strobing the illuminated LEDs right or left respectively. In the Chromatic mode, the tuner tracks all notes whether they are standard tuning or not. If you were to play an F# on the low E string, the tuner would track that F# even though it is not a standard open string tuning for a guitar. This is a handy feature which makes the built-in tuner functional for open tunings as well as tuning a variety of other instruments. the display indicates sharp and flat notes the same as it does in the Guitar mode. The main visual difference in the display occurs when you hit a note such as the F#. Therefore, the tuner will light up both the E and A positions in order to indicate that the note is somewhere between an E note and an A note. The Guitar mode cannot do this since it tracks the F# note as a G note that is flat. If an F# is played on the D string (instead of the low E), the D and G positions illuminate to indicate that the note is sharp for the D string. Whenever you see multiple green LED's lit up on the footswitch while tuning, these same positions will light up on the LED rings found on the front panel. [. . . ] It should not be placed flat against a wall or placed in a built-in enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. When the provided plug does not fit into your inlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ]
