Connections

Plugging in Your Guitar

Connect your guitar to the AxSysÕ

GUITAR INPUT

jack.

Auxiliary Input

The

AUX INPUT

jack is designed for a second audio source, like a

microphone, drum machine, tape player, or acoustic guitar, separate from
the main Guitar input.

Footpedals

The rear panel of the AxSys provides two separate foot pedal jacks labeled

PEDAL 1 (VOLUME)

and

PEDAL 2 (WAH)

. These accept a Roland model EV-

5 (or equivalent type) volume control pedal.

You can also connect a standard volume pedalÕs output to either the

PEDAL 1 (VOLUME)

or

PEDAL 2 (WAH)

jacks. However, the scaling may not

be accurate; i.e. youÕll notice that the effect happens too quickly. To
compensate for this, try soldering in a 10k ohm resistor between the tip
and the sleeve at either end of the 1/4" cable you are using to connect the
pedal. This should offset the difference in the pedalÕs pot resistance and
even out its control.

If you have only one pedal, connect it to the

PEDAL 1 (VOLUME)

jack. It can

then be used to control volume or Wah (see page 17).

Pedal Board

The optional AxSys Pedal Board connects to the

PEDAL (REMOTE)

multipin

connector (the one that kinda looks like a telephone jack... but itÕs not),
and provides foot control functions including: Volume and Wah pedals,
Effects On/Off switches and Sound select buttons and displays.

Internal Speakers

The two built-in custom Eminence speakers each have a cable attached
which are already connected to the

LEFT SPEAKER

and

RIGHT SPEAKER

rear panel jacks. For information about using external speakers, refer to
Appendix V in the back of this manual.

Headphones

Connect headphones to the

HEADPHONE/STEREO LINE OUT

jack on the

rear panel. Whenever headphones are connected to the AxSys, the internal
speakers will continue to work, so you can unplug them if you want. This
will not harm the amplifier.
