Cyber–Champ

™

Amplifier

Your new Cyber–Champ™ amplifier is brought to

you by the same Tone–team that created the

Fender

®

Cyber–Twin™ and Cyber-Deluxe™

amplifiers. As the crowning achievements of

Fender’s most advanced research and development

project, Cyber–Series™ amplifiers are endowed

with Fender’s exclusive

Virtual Tone Interpolation™

technology (patent number 6,222,110). VTI™

technology enables the Cyber–Champ™ amplifier

to be different amplifiers according to circuit design.

Starting with a virtual circuit board, the

Cyber–Champ™ amplifier "rewires" its fundamental

architecture to become the essence of some of the

amplifier greats — Fender’s Blackface™,

Dyna–Touch™, Tweed and Modern amps, and even

the best of the British amps!

The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier allows you to be the

amp designer. Start with one of 14 permanent amp

and effect setups stored within the Cyber-Champ™

amp—twist some knobs, make some changes, then

save to one of the 7 rewritable preset locations

reserved onboard for your original amplifier designs.

MIDI implementation on the Cyber–Champ™

amplifier enables you to transfer presets to and from

the amp for backup to a PC, or for exchange with

other Cyber–Champ™ amplifier players.

The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier also puts a huge

array of studio–quality effects at your command:

Reverb, Modulation and Delay effects, enough to

satisfy most any sonic appetite. And many are in

stereo, so you can use the headphones jack to

enjoy a fully ambient stereo dimension. The

Cyber–Champ™ amplifier’s Dyna–Touch™ power

amp circuitry and Celestion® speaker deliver

powerful, responsive Tone to you and your

audience. It’s not just loud “on paper.”

• 21 Amp Design presets selectable using the Preset and Bank buttons or a MIDI controller:

• 14 Permanent presets – great amp and effects setups that are always available

• Fender

®

Custom Shop bank – 7 premium amp and effects combinations

• Your Amp Collection bank – 7 “stock” classic amplifiers

• 7 Rewritable presets – create and save your own amp and effects setups in the Players’ Lounge bank

• 3 groups of studio–quality effects that can be used simultaneously:

• 4 Reverb types with selectable levels and MIDI–accessible parameters

• 5 Modulation effect types with selectable levels and MIDI–accessible parameters

• 3 Delay effect types with selectable levels and MIDI–accessible parameters

• MIDI implementation:

• 27 Continuous Controllers for adjusting amp settings using external MIDI equipment (sequencer, computer,

foot–controller or Cyber–Series

™

amplifier)

• Preset–defined Continuous Controller enables foot–pedal control of programmable parameters

• System Exclusive functionality for selective preset management

• Front panel MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports

• Virtual Tone Interpolation™ technology offers 7 Amp Type selections with tone stacks located before or

after the drive circuitry as appropriate

• Hum Reduction algorithm (patent pending) actively seeks out and suppresses environmental “hum”

• On–board digital chromatic tuner

• 65 watts of output power

• 12˝, 8Ω Celestion

Operation Essentials

Presets and Banks

The Cyber–Champ™ is instantly reconfigured each time you select a

preset. Use the preset buttons to

select a preset in the current bank. Press the BANK button , then

a preset button to select a preset from another bank. Note that when

you select a preset, the position of each knob will not reflect its actual

setting (except by coincidence) until it is captured . . .

Knob Capture

You must first “capture” control of a knob to adjust the setting.

Capture by turning the knob until the adjacent LED lights up. Once

captured, further adjustments are immediate and audible.

Saving Presets

Captured knob settings are released when you make a preset

selection . . . but you can save all your current settings simply by

holding any preset button in for 2 seconds. Your new preset is saved

into the Players’ Lounge bank, assigned to the button held. Your new

preset is automatically activated.

A. INPUT JACK

Input connection for your guitar. The input level automatically adjusts itself to

ensure an adequate signal level is supplied to the DSP circuitry.

B. GAIN

Controls the distortion level and contributes to the overall amp loudness. Use

VOLUME {C} to adjust for (normalize) any undesired volume level change

resulting from a GAIN level change.

C. VOLUME

Controls the post–distortion signal level and contributes to the overall amp

loudness. Use in conjunction with GAIN {B} to normalize volume differences

between presets.

 Each preset contains a complete set

of amplifier and effects settings.

 There are three banks of presets:

CUSTOM SHOP Permanent

AMP COLLECTION Permanent

PLAYERS’ LOUNGE Rewritable

 Capture control of a knob by turning it

until the adjacent LED lights up.

Capture happens when the knob

setting matches its actual (internal)

setting stored within the current

preset.

 You can save 7 of your own amplifier

and effects settings in the Players’

Lounge bank of presets.

D. TREBLE

Controls the high–frequency tone level.

E. MIDDLE

Controls the mid–frequency tone level.

F. BASS

Controls the low–frequency tone level.

G. MASTER

Controls the overall volume output from the amplifier together with GAIN {B},

and VOLUME {D}. MASTER is the final “volume gatekeeper” limiting the

maximum output level of the Cyber–Champ™ amplifier. The MASTER knob

position (setting) is an absolute limit—even when controlling MASTER with MIDI

messages. MASTER is not preset programmable.

H. REVERB

Selects a Reverb type and level. The level increases going clockwise within

each type as illustrated from off (–), to maximum (+).

I. MOD F/X

Selects a Modulation effect type and level. The level increases going clockwise

within each type as illustrated from off (–), to maximum (+). Set a custom

modulation rate by pressing TAP at least twice at the desired rate. Press TAP

once for the slowest rate possible. There is only one level setting for Phaser.

J. DELAY

Selects a Delay type and level. The level increases going clockwise within each

type as illustrated from off (–), to maximum (+). Set a custom delay interval by

pressing TAP at least twice at the desired rate. Press TAP once for the longest

interval possible.

K. TUNER

Turns the tuner on and off. The tuner “borrows” the preset button lights to

indicate the nearest note and the capture LEDs to indicate flat, in tune, or sharp.

Preset Editing

You can create 7 of your own presets and save them in the Players’ Lounge

bank. First select any preset with the desired Amp Type as the foundation for

your new preset — see the tables on pages 7 and 8. Then adjust the amplifier

settings any way you like. When satisfied, press and hold any preset button

for 2 seconds. Your new preset is saved in the Players’ Lounge bank

(assigned to the button held) and it is automatically activated.

NOTE: The previous contents of the Players’ Lounge preset you are saving to

will be overwritten with your new preset.

Effect Editing—Advanced

Using a computer you can edit effect parameters that are inaccessible through

the Cyber–Champ™ front panel controls. Your modified effect can then be

saved to a Players’ Lounge preset and used in the modified form using the front

panel controls (See Advanced Effect Editing on page 10).

 A computer with a MIDI capable

soundcard, appropriate adapters and

a MIDI utility application are required for

advanced effect editing.

 You can use a Players’ Lounge preset

as the starting point for a new preset,

but the descriptions in the table above

will no longer be valid for presets you

have customized.

MIDI

This section describes the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)

capabilities of the Cyber-Champ™ amplifier. The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier

supports the MIDI standard using the MIDI IN and OUT jacks on the front panel,

both 5-pin DIN jacks. The amplifier uses Channel Messages and System

Exclusive Messages to accomplish the following tasks:

Channel Messages

Switching Tuner and Effects On/Off

You can switch the tuner on and off using MIDI program change 127 in any

bank (00, 01, 02). You can switch the effects (Modulation and Delay) on and off

using continuous controller 85—any value between 64 and 127 turns effects on

and any value between 0 and 63 turns effects off. Reverb is not affected.

Echoing Control Changes

You can control two or more Cyber–Champ™ amplifiers as one by linking their

MIDI ports together. Connect MIDI OUT on the primary amplifier to MIDI IN on

the auxiliary amplifier and so on down the line. The first time each knob is used

you must capture it on all amplifiers before you can adjust the setting on all

amplifiers. To ensure that you have captured a particular setting on all

amplifiers, turn the knob through its full range of values, then to the desired

value. Further adjustments will be synchronized.

Selecting Presets

You can select presets using MIDI program changes. A continuous controller

pedal set to number 11 can be used to control either the Modulation effect rate

or the Delay effect interval according to the program change number used:

 Control changes can be recorded using

a sequencer so that you can play them

back during performances.

 A sequencer must first capture knobs

before it can control their settings. To

do this, ramp the continuous controller

through the full range of values, then

return it to the desired value (setting).

The sequencer will then have active

control of the knob (parameter).

NOTE: If sequencer capture is lost (by

manually turning the knob for example)

the sequencer must recapture control

of that parameter to use it again.

 See the MIDI Implementation Chart on

page 14 for details.

The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier does not recognize or transmit System

Common messages.

All knob adjustments (even knobs not captured) are transmitted via MIDI

OUT. MIDI program changes and continuous controller changes are also

“echoed” through the MIDI OUT port. Another Cyber–Champ™ amplifier

connected as a receive MIDI device will “mirror” all these changes.

Conceptos básicos de utilización

Configuraciones predefinidas y bancos

El Cyber-Champ™ se reconfigura instantáneamente cada vez que se

selecciona una configuración predefinida. Utilice los botones de confi-

guraciones predefinidas para seleccio-

nar una configuración predefinida en el banco actual. Pulse el botón BANK

y, a continuación, un botón de configuración predefinida para seleccionar

una configuración predefinida de otro banco. Tenga en cuenta que, al

seleccionar una configuración predefinida, la posición de cada botón no refleja

su configuración real (excepto por casualidad) mientras no se capture…

Ca

ptura de botones

Para poder ajustar el valor de un botón, debe “capturarlo” previamente. Para

ello, gire el botón hasta que se ilumine el indicador LED adyacente. Una vez

capturado, los ajustes posteriores se pueden escuchar y se realizan de forma

inmediata.

Guar

dar configuraciones predefinidas

Los valores de los botones capturados se liberan al seleccionar una configu-

ración predefinida …no obstante, para guardar todas sus configuraciones

actuales sólo tiene que mantener pulsado cualquier botón de configuración

predefinida durante 2 segundos. La nueva configuración predefinida se

guardará en el banco Players’ Lounge, asignada al botón pulsado. La nueva

configuración predefinida se activa automáticamente.

A. CONECTOR INPUT (ENTRADA)

Conexión de entrada para la guitarra. El nivel de entrada se ajusta automáticamente

para asegurar que se envíe el nivel de señal adecuado a los circuitos DSP.

B. GAIN (GANANCIA)

Controla el nivel de distorsión de la señal y contribuye al volumen global del amplificador.

Utilice el botón VOLUME {C} para ajustar (normalizar) cualquier cambio de nivel de

volumen que no desee provocado por un cambio en el nivel del parámetro GAIN.

C. VOLUME (VOLUMEN)

Controla el nivel la señal post-distorsión y contribuye al volumen global del amplificador.

Utilice este botón junto con GAIN {B} para normalizar las diferencias de volumen entre

configuraciones predefinidas.
