First Things First: Installing the Batteries With no batteries, the X Guitar operates like a traditional electric guitar. However, to use the X Guitar’s built-in effects and tuner, you need to install four AA batteries (or use an optional 9 volt adapter). Batteries are included in your X Guitar package. To install the batteries, flip the guitar over and open the battery compartment on the back. As with all battery-powered devices, don’t mix and match new and partially used batterie

Front Controls The front of the guitar combines traditional controls with two special switches for the built- in effects. 1. Pickup Selector Switch – The five-position switch selects one of the following pickup combinations: 1-Bridge only. 2-Bridge + Middle. 3-Middle only. 4-Middle + Neck. 5-Neck only. All three pickups are humbucking models, which greatly reduce noise relative to non- humbucking pickups. The bridge-position pickup has the traditional side-by-side humbucker

DRIVE This is a parameter of the DIST module. Increasing levels of drive/gain for the DIST module. Pedal control of the drive/gain. NR (Noise Reduction) This is a combination of two effects—hum elimination and noise reduction. Hum elimination works by cutting out the frequency that contains the hum (60Hz). Noise reduction works by gating the signal (muting the signal until its level rises above a certain point). Hum Elimination (Left digit of display) Increasing levels of hu

FX1 (Multi-Effect Module 1, Mono to Stereo Effects) This module gives you a choice of mono effects. You may assign one effect at a time to this module. Auto Wah A wah sound controlled by playing intensity. Attack the strings aggressively for more effect. Higher values indicate higher input sensitivity. Pedal-Controlled Wah A wah sound controlled by moving the optional expression pedal up and down as you play. Phaser An effect that shifts the phase of the signal and adds it to

FX1 – Continued Rotary Speaker Emulates the sound of the classic rotary, creating a Doppler effect similar to that achieved by an organ’s rotating speaker. Higher values result in greater intensity and pan depth. Pedal-Controlled Rotary Speaker A rotary speaker effect with its intensity and pan depth controlled by the expression pedal. Chorus Adds fullness to your sound by emulating a chorus of multiple instruments. Higher values indicate greater modulation depth. Pedal Cho

PARAM (Direct-Control Parameter for FX1) This parameter modifies the operation of the effect selected for the FX1 module. Changing between effect types with dissimilar value ranges will scale this value accordingly. For example, if you set Phaser to PARAM=63 and then switch to the Auto Wah effect, its PARAM value will be 12. Changing back to Phaser will result in a PARAM value of 63. Indicates the value of FX1’s direct-control parameter, according to the following: For Auto Wah,

FX3 (Multi-Effect Module 3, Delay-Based Effects) This module gives you a choice of delay-based effects. A delay is an echo of the original signal that can occur at varying frequency and time. Doubling Doubles the signal with a slight delay, creating the effect of two instruments playing at once. Higher values indicate higher intensity. Pedal Doubling Doubling effect with its intensity controlled by the expression pedal. Ping Pong Delay Creates a delay that bounces back and f

DIGFX (Digital Sampling Effects) This effect module emulates the effect that different variations of digital sampling can have on an audio signal. Sample Rate Decimation Lower values indicate lower decimation frequency (more decimation, more aliasing). Pedal Sample Rate Decimation A sample rate decimator effect controlled by the expression pedal. Bit Reduction Higher values indicate lower resultant bit depth. Pedal Bit Reduction Bit Reduction effect controlled by the expressi

ROUTE In this position, the display indicates the current signal-routing order of the FX modules. This ordering can have a big effect on your sound, as each effect in the configuration feeds into the next. Whatever the configuration, the LEVEL setting always comes last in line. This is the default order. This one is the default order with FX2 and FX3 swapped to put the delay effects in the middle of the modulation effects. This order places the cabinet simulator at the end, al
