The front panel is divided into 3 main secons: channels, reverb and master. Each of the channels has 3 modes which are dierenated by the colour of the light in the buon used to change channel. These are green, orange or red respecvely.

This turns the amp on and o.

The standby switch is used in conjuncon with the power switch to warm up the amp before use. Turn power switch on for 2 minutes before switching standby on. Set the standby switch to the o posion during breaks in performances. Note: when the standby switch is o the amp can be used without a load for silent recording. See the ‘Using your amp for silent recording’ start-up procedure for more informaon.

3. FOOTSWITCH/MIDI PROGRAM SWITCH

This switch has a dual funcon:

1. Pressing it once will enter ‘footswitch program’

mode. This is indicated by a solid red light.

2. Pressing it twice will enter ‘MIDI program’

mode. This is indicated by a blinking red light. See more informaon on these modes later in this manual.

Engages/disengages the series/parallel FX loop for the current channel. Note: this switch does not aect the power amp insert / series loop. CHANNEL SECTION Pressing a channel buon has two funcons:

• When pressing in the same channel it cycles the gain modes: GREEN (lowest gain level) > ORANGE > RED (highest gain level)> GREEN etc. Each mode remembers its own previous FX, reverb and master sengs.

• Coming from a dierent channel recalls the last seng in the new selected channel. Note: when you leave and then reselect a channel, it will automacally recall the last acve mode.

13. CLEAN/CRUNCH CHANNEL

Green mode: this is the cleanest of the three modes. It uses a simple and straighorward circuit keeping the signal as pure as possible. In this mode the channel’s volume control is taken out of circuit. This is the only JVM mode where this happens. Orange mode: this mode shares the preamp topology of the classic Marshall JTM45/1959 ‘Plexi’ models but with a bit more gain. Red mode: with more gain than the orange mode, this mode is reminiscent of the Marshall JCM800 2203 amp, a staple of hard rock.

14. OVERDRIVE CHANNEL

Green mode: this is similar to the hot-rodded JCM800 sound found in the red mode of the clean/crunch channel. So, you can dial-in two disnctly dierent yet similar crunch sounds if you so wish - one in each channel. Orange mode: this adds gain to the overdrive green circuit, resulng in a sound that is perfect for singing leads and hard rock tones. Red mode: this mode has the highest amount of gain, resulng in a fully distorted heavy metal tone. REVERB SECTION The digital reverb is routed in parallel to the main signal and mixed using a valve. The reverb does not degrade the direct signal when engaged and when o it is eecvely removed from theENGLISH

Switches the reverb eect on or o for the current channel.

11. REVERB CONTROL (OVERDRIVE

CHANNEL) Adjusts the level of reverb applied to the overdrive channel.

12. REVERB CONTROL (CLEAN/CRUNCH

CHANNEL) Adjusts the level of reverb applied to the clean/ crunch channel. MASTER SECTION The master volume controls set the overall volume of the amp across all channels. Master 1 and Master 2 can be assigned to any mode and can be switched back and forth.

Master 1 is used on all channels/modes by default.

To set a channel/mode to recall master 2, select the channel and mode, push the master buon to engage master 2 and then switch out of the mode. When you re-visit the mode, the amp will automacally recall which master volume control you were previously using.

Switch between master 1 and master 2 for dierent volume sengs on the same channel/ mode. The red led in the switch indicates that master 2 is engaged. The light is o when master 1 is engaged. Note: pre-sets stored in the footswitch will recall whether master 1 or master 2 was selected. However, it will not recall the previous level of the master volume control.

Adjusts the high frequencies of the power amp. Increasing high frequencies adds more bite to your sound.

Adjusts the low frequencies of the power amp. Increasing low frequencies adds more boom end giving you a faer sound.

Warning: care should be taken to avoid over

exeron of the speaker cones in high resonance sengs. Note: both the presence and resonance controls are power amp controls and therefore only have eect when playing through a speaker.

15. INPUT JACK SOCKET

Connect your guitar here using a ¼” jack instrument cable.ENGLISH

The supplied mains power lead is connected here. The mains input voltage rang that your amp has been built for is shown on the rear panel.

Warning: before powering on, ensure the amp is

compable with the mains voltage of the country that the amp is being used in. If you have any doubt, please get advice from a qualied person.

Protects the amp and mains supply in the event of a fault. The correct value of mains fuse is specied on the rear panel.

A copy of the signal from the MIDI In connector is available on the MIDI thru socket to allow daisy chaining of MIDI equipment.

Connect any external MIDI equipment to the MIDI In DIN socket.

SERIES/PARALLEL FX LOOP

This is a programmable FX loop located aer the pre-amp, right before the reverb and series loop circuits. The FX Loop switch engages/disengages this eects loop.

13. SERIES/PARALLEL FX LOOP: SEND

Connect your external FX equipment here using a ¼” jack instrument cable.

12. SERIES/PARALLEL FX LOOP: RETURN

Return your signal from external FX equipment here using a ¼” jack instrument cable.

11. SERIES/PARALLEL FX LOOP: FX LEVEL

Congure the loop for use with either professional equipment (+4dBu seng) or with guitar level eects like eects pedals (-10dBV seng).

10. SERIES/PARALLEL FX LOOP: MIX

CONTROL Control the amount of eect that can be dialled in with the mix control. When mix is set to wet, all the signal goes through the external loop, adding more direct (unprocessed) signal as you turn it towards dry.

POWER AMP INSERT/SERIES LOOP

This is a passive loop connected right before the master controls. It is a line level loop so it is recommended to only use high headroom devices to avoid signal degradaon.

Connect your external FX equipment here using a ¼” jack instrument cable.

8. POWER-AMP IN/RETURN

Return your signal from external FX equipment here using a ¼” jack instrument cable.

Engage/disengage the power amp insert/series loop. This switch cannot be programmed.

6. EMULATED LINE OUT

This output sends signal to external equipment. The signal is taken pre-master volume, processed through a 4x12 speaker cabinet emulator and electronically balanced. Note: using the line out does not omit the need for a load to be connected (unless the amp is in silent recording mode).

Connect the supplied footswitch using any standard ¼” jack instrument lead. Note: using any other type of footswitch rather than the one supplied will have no eect and will be ignored by the amp.

1/4” jack speaker outputs. They are labelled according to the corresponding cabinet setups:

• 1 x 16 Ohm: connect a 16Ω speaker cabinet.

• 1 x 8 Ohm / 2 x 16 Ohm: connect a single 8Ω guitar cabinet or two 16Ω cabinets.

• 1 x 4 Ohm / 2 x 8 Ohm: connect a single 4Ω guitar cabinet or two 8Ω guitar cabinets.

Warning: although the amp has ve speaker

outputs, never aempt to connect more speakers than rated. The safe combinaons are listed above. Any other speaker conguraon may stress or damage the amp. 2-channel JVM amps come supplied with a 4-way programmable footswitch which can be connected to the amp via any standard ¼” jack instrument cable.

Warning: the supplied footswitch lead is

unscreened and not suitable for guitar. The footswitch features 5 LEDS marked clean / crunch, OD, master, reverb & FX. The LEDs for each of the 2 channels are 3-coloured green, orange and red. These indicate which channel and mode is selected, alongside the status of master, reverb and FX loop. Each of the individual footswitches has 2 modes of operaon:

• Switch store mode: assign any of its 4 switches to instantly recall any front panel funcon (channel/mode; reverb on/o; master volume 1/2 and FX loop on/o). Note: if a switch is assigned to select a channel, once is has been acvated it can be used to scroll through the three modes, just like its respecve front panel switch.

• Pre-set store mode: Each switch can be programmed to instantly call up a combinaon of JVM buon opons to form a pre-set. This allows you to recall complete channel setups in any order and combinaon. As the switches can be programmed independently you can program a mixture of the above. Note: all the sengs are stored within your footswitch; this means it can be plugged into any JVM amp and all your footswitch sengs can be instantly recalled. FOOTSWITCHENGLISH

PROGRAMMING THE FOOTSWITCH

To enter footswitch program mode, press the ‘footswitch/MIDI program’ buon on the front panel once. The indicator light will illuminate. This mode allows you to program the footswitch. Note: when the front panel ‘footswitch/MIDI program’ switch is o, the footswitch will execute commands the moment the switch is pressed down. When the footswitch program mode is acve, you can use the amp as normal with commands executed on release of the footswitch. To store the current amp status/sengs to a footswitch (pre-set store mode):

1. Press the ‘footswitch/MIDI program’ buon

on the front panel to enter footswitch program mode (red LED).

2. Press and hold the desired footswitch for

about 3 seconds. The FX footswitch LED will icker indicang that the pre-set has been stored. To store a specic front panel funcon to a footswitch (switch store mode):
