3. Next, place all knobs on your SFX Satellite at 1 or
their minimum positions.
4. Make sure the SFX On/Off button pressed in
(green light on) and the Bypass button in its out
position.
5. Play your guitar at your average volume through
your rig. At this point, no sound will emanate from
your SFX Satellite. Refer to the chart below to help
determine the SFX Satellite speaker operation modes
of your SFX Satellite and guitar amp.
6. Adjust the DSP Send knob on your SFX Satellite
so the “signal” light comes on.
7. Next, play at your hardest strength to ensure the
DSP “clip” light does not come on. If the DSP “clip”
light does come on, reduce the signal via the DSP
Send knob.
8. Set the DSP Return knob at 5. Next, adjust the
Output level knob on your SFX Satellite to a level
comparable to your guitar amp.
9. Push the Bypass switch in and out to match the
volume levels between your SFX Satellite and your
guitar amp by itself. The table below offers a few
suggestions on setting up the DSP Send and Output
Level adjustments. As a general rule of thumb, when
increasing your guitar amp volume it may be necessary
to decrease DSP send level on your SFX Satellite.
10. Adjust the DSP Return knob for the desired
effect level or “wetness”. Remember, extreme
adjustments to the DSP Receive knob will require an
adjustment of Output Level using the Bypass switch.
11. Finally, slowly rotate the SFX knob clockwise for
the desired spatial effect.
12. When shutting down your rig, turn off your guitar
amp first then your SFX Satellite.
