Making the Connections and Turning the Power On

The battery compartment is located on the underside. Insert the included batteries, taking care to orient them correct.

NOTE

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners so that both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
  Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.
  Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.

MEMO

Expected battery life under continuous use: Carbon: 5 hours, Alkaline: 13 hours
These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.
- When operating on battery power only, the unit's indicator will become dim when battery power gets too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
- We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even when you're powering it with the AC adaptor. That way, you'll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.

You can mix stereo audio from AUX IN with the output.

Stereo Headphones

Note when connecting the ME-70 to the other devices

NOTE

• Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
• Raise the amp volume only after turning on the power to all connected devices.
  This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.
• When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (AUX IN) may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.

MEMO

• The ME-70 has no built-in amp or speakers. To hear sounds, you'll need to provide a guitar amplifier, stereo headphones, or other such equipment.
• For mono output, connect the cable to just the L/MONO jack.
• To send the output from the REC OUT/PHONES jack to a recorder or the like, use a special cable (PCS-31L; sold separately). If you use an ordinary guitar cable, only the left-channel audio is output.

PCS-31L cable
(Sold separately)

Digital Recorder, etc.

• Inserting a plug into the REC OUT/PHONES jack automatically activates the built-in guitar-amp simulator, enabling you to enjoy impressive guitar sound even with headphones.
  The same effect is applied to Gt. AMP OUTPUT at this time, too.
• When you're performing using a guitar amp connected to Gt. AMP OUTPUT, disconnect the plug from the REC OUT/PHONES jack.

Adjusting the Volume

1. Adjust the OUTPUT LEVEL knob.

MEMO

• Raising the OUTPUT LEVEL knob too much may result in sound distortion.
• When the OUTPUT LEVEL knob is centered and all effects are off, input and output are at the same level.

Turning Off the Power

1. Turn down the volume all the way on all equipment (this unit, the amplifier, and everything else).
2. Switch off the amp and other connected devices.
3. Unplug the guitar or other instrument connected to the INPUT jack on the ME-70.

The power to the ME-70 is switched off.

Should you encounter unexpected results, such as no sound being produced, check the following.

• Are connections to other devices correctly made?

Check the connections once more.

Is the volume turned down?

Check the volume levels on any connected amp or mixer.

• Can you hear sound through the headphones when headphones are connected?

If you can hear sounds, it may be that there is a short in the cable used to connect the amp or other device, or perhaps a mistake in an external device's settings. Check the connecting cables and external devices once more.

• Has the level been lowered with the expression pedal?

Sounds are not output when the toe of the expression pedal is in the raised position while the pedal is set to function as a volume pedal (p. E-9).

Saving/Calling Up and Using Tones (Memory Mode)

The ME-70 has two primary operating modes: Manual mode and Memory mode. In Manual mode, the tones are produced by the actual positions of the front-panel knobs for the various effects. In contrast, Memory mode allows you to save tone settings and recall them for later use.

Patches and Banks

In Memory mode, a combination (or set) of effects together with a group of parameter settings is called a "patch."

A group of four patches is called a "bank," and the respective patches in a bank correspond to the number pedals.

The banks are organized into nine "user banks" that you can freely read from or write to, and nine read-only "preset banks."

In total, the ME-70 has 72 patches.

Changing Between the Manual and Memory Modes

1. Press number pedals 3 and 4 at the same time.
2. Each press switches the ME-70 between Manual mode and Memory mode.

When the unit is in Manual mode, the dot at the bottom right of the display lights up. When the unit is in Memory mode, the currently selected bank number is displayed.

Memory Mode (User Bank 1)

Memory Mode (Preset Bank 2)

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
  Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
  Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.

Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA series), and make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause hearing loss.

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
  The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
  The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit's power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
• Batteries should always be installed or replaced before connecting any other devices. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to enable testing.
  Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
- Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
- When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically write down an important data you have stored in the unit's memory on paper.
  Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit's memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
  Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
