Your new Acoustasonic Pro Amplifier delivers the
Fender tone and quality that today’s musicians
demand and re c o rding engineers have depended
on for more than 50 years. Two independent chan-
nels with their individual tone and volume contro l s
a re voiced for acoustic instruments and vocals.
The onboard Digital Signal Processor pro v i d e s
100 combinations of studio-quality effects. Four
PRESET buttons allow instant storage and recall of
favorite DSP effects. The Acoustasonic Pro pre-
s e rves the natural voice of acoustic instru m e n t s
with precision tone management tools and 160
watts of clean power. PHASE reversing switches
reduce feedback at two points in the signals path
and a pair of NOTCH FILTER controls can be used
to select frequencies at which feedback is sup-
p ressed. The AT TACK control is helpful at attenu-
ating the harshness that piezo guitar pickups
INSTRUMENT CHANNEL - (Items 1-13)
1. INSTRUMENT - Plug your guitar/acoustic instrument in
at this jack.
2. PHASE - This push button reverses the phase of the
i n s t r ument channel, useful for reducing noise associated
with dual pickup instruments.
3. TUNER ONLY - This push button mutes the instrument
channel outputs and sends the signal to the tuner jack
only for silent tune-ups. The mic channel is active while
using this feature.
4. GAIN - Adjusts the volume level of the instrument channel.
5. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level of the instru m e n t
channel.
6. MID - Adjusts the middle-frequency level of the
instrument channel.
7. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level of the instru m e n t
channel.
8. CHANNEL SEND - Adjusts the amount of instrument
channel signal sent to the on-board DSP effects.
9. RETURN - Adjusts the amount of DSPe f fect altered “wet
signal mixed with the “dry” unaffected signal. Rotating
the knob clockwise increases the amount of the “wet”
signal. When the “MIC FX ON” is OFF, this knob contro l s
the wet/dry mix for BOTH the instrument and mic channels
10.ATTACK - This control is designed to attenuate the
harshness that piezo pickups produce when vigoro u s l y
s t r umming with a pick. Rotating the knob counter- c l o c k w i s e
increases the attenuation, whereas a clockwise setting
provides a more natural response for finger picking.
11.STRING DYNAMICS (Patented) - This knob controls a
dynamic tone shaping filter on the instrument channel.
Rotating the knob clockwise decreases the instru m e n t ’s
h i g h - f requency “harshness when playing at high
volume levels while maintaining crispness” when playing
at lower levels.
12.FEEDBACK NOTCH 1 - This control is designed to attenuate
feedback noise between 63-400 Hz in the instrument
channel. By SLOWLY rotating the knob, locate the
unwanted frequency to reduce the noise.
13.FEEDBACK NOTCH 2 - This control is designed to
attenuate feedback noise between 150-825 Hz in the
i n s t r ument channel. By S L O W LYrotating the knob, locate
the feedback frequency to reduce the noise.
5
MIC - LINE/INST CHANNEL - (Items 14-22)
14.MIC - Plug your microphone in here. This three pin XLR
balanced female input connector is intended for low-
impedance microphones.
15.LINE/INST - This 1/4 inch, TRS, balanced input jack is
suited for use with equipment having a line level output
such as high-impedance microphones, keyboard s ,
d r um machines, etc. It also accepts unbalanced TR input
cables.
16.GAIN - Adjusts the volume level of the mic/line channel.
17.TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level of the mic/line
channel.
18.MID - Adjusts the middle-frequency level of the mic/line
channel.
19.BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level of the mic/line
channel.
20.CHANNEL SEND - Adjusts the amount of signal from the
instrument channel sent to on–board DSP effects.
21.RETURN - Adjusts the amount of DSP e ffect wet mic/line
channel signal mixed with the “dry” overall loudness of
the Acoustasonic Pro amplifier. Rotating the knob clockwise
increases the amount of DSP effect “wet” signal. This
knob is only active when theMIC FX ON LEDis illuminated.
22.MIC FX ON - This LED illuminates when the instrument
channel effect and the mic/line channel effect are
independent of each other (presets 79-99).
23.PHASE - This push button reverses the phase of the
Acoustasonic Pro amplifier. It is useful for eliminating
certain noises when playing in small environments.
24.MASTER VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the
Acoustasonic Pro amplifier.
25.A U X I L I A R Y INPUT - Unbalanced phono (RCA) input jacks
designed for use with a drum machine, tape player, CD
player, etc. and can be used for playing prerecorded
music.
26.AUX LEVEL - Adjusts the volume level of the auxiliary
input.
27.POWER INDICAT O R- This red jewel illuminates indicating
the Acoustasonic Pro is receiving power.
28.DSP EFFECTS- This data wheel selects among the various
on-board DSP digital effects. These effects will only be
h e a rd if the DSP send and re t u r n knobs on the
respective channels are turned up. See the listing of DSP
effects on the next page.

types of input, balanced XLR for low-impedance

for balanced or unbalanced, high-impedance
m i c rophones or line-level equipment. Front panel
A U X I L I A RY jacks can be used to plug in re c o rd e d

muted tuning through the instrument channel to a
suitable instrument tuner connected at the re a r
panel tuner jack. The rear panel also features two
sets of EFFECTS LOOP jacks for the connection of

LINE OUT jack for connection to external power
amps and sound consoles. Please read thro u g h

plays the number of the active effect .
3 0 .F X PRESETS - These buttons save
and recall four user-assigned eff e c t s
f rom the 100 effects listed below. To
save an effect, choose a favorite

and hold any desired FX preset but-
ton until the LED screen blinks, indi-
cating that the preset has been
saved. To recall a FX preset simply
p ress and release the desired button.
3 1 . SELECT - This data wheel selects
one of 100 on-board digital eff e c t s .
These effects will only be heard if
the DSP send and re t u rn knobs on
the respective channels are turn e d
clockwise above minimum.
NOTE: When switching ON your Acoustasonic Pro amplifier, the DSP effect automatically defaults to the #1 preset.
Below is a listing of the Acoustasonic Pro ’s DSP effects. To choose among these various effects simply rotate the
select dial to the desired effect. Both the DSP send and DSP re t u rn knobs must be above their minimum positions in
o r der for any effect to be heard. Effects 00 thru 78 are identical for both the instrument and mic channels and eff e c t s
7 9 t h ru 9 9 a re diff e rent for the instrument and mic channels.
