Description
In this effect, a slightly detuned sound is
added to the original sound, giving the
sound greater breadth and fullness.
This creates a flanging effect that creates a
sort of spinning sensation with the sound.
This effect adds a variable phaseshifted
signal to the direct sound, giving the sound
a swirling character.
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic
change in volume.
This applies a boost effect to the original
sound. By using a foot switch to turn SOLO
on/off individually for the JC CLEAN and
LEAD channels, you can vary the volume
and distortion of your sound.
This adds sound lowered by an octave
to the original sound. Since you can play
chords even when using this effect, you can
use it to fatten the sound of your chordal
playing as well.
Description
Turn the knob to change the time and
amount of delay effects.
Turn the knob to adjust the reverb level.
13. [POWER SQUEEZER] Switch
The switch lights in red when the power squeezer
function is on; the switch is unlit when the power
squeezer is off.
Switching on the Power Squeezer function allows you to
reduce the amp's output to 2 watts.
Switching this on allows you to produce a sound that
preserves the same tone and balance at an output of 2
watts, for volume levels that are more suitable for the
average home.
* The Power Squeezer function affects only sounds input through the
INPUT jack. It has no effect on sounds input via the AUX IN jack.
14. AUX IN Jack
You can connect a CD player, digital audio player or other kind of
device and have it play along with your guitar.
This accepts a stereo miniature phone plug. However, the speaker
and RECORDING OUT/PHONES output is monaural. Use a cable (sold
separately) that's appropriate for the device you're connecting.
* Determine the volume level by adjusting the volume control of the
connected device.
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level
of equipment connected to the AUX IN jack may be low. If this
happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
15. FOOT SW (Foot switch) Jack
You can use foot switches (optional BOSS FS-5U or FS-6) to switch
channels (JC CLEAN/LEAD), and to turn EFX/SOLO on and off.
* CUBE-20XL is equipped with a TRS-type FOOT SW jack that accepts
plugs of the configuration shown in the figure. To connect a foot
switch pedal, use a TRS-compatible cable.
TIP : SELECT
RING : EFX/SOLO
* For details on connecting foot switches, refer to "Connections" (p. 6).
* If you use a monaural cable to connect only one foot switch, it can
be used to switch channels (JC CLEAN/LEAD).
16. RECORDING OUT/PHONES Jack
• When Using RECORDING OUT
Use mono 1/4" phone plugs when connecting to this jack.
Volume level of RECORDING OUT can be easily adjusted if
you set the JC CLEAN or LEAD Channel [VOLUME] knob as
shown in the diagram on the right.
• When Using Headphones
Connect headphones to this jack.
* No sound is played through the unit's speaker while the RECORDING
OUT/PHONES jack is in use.
17. [POWER] Switch
This switches the power on and off.
