Getting Started
Let us explore the range of controls on your ACV-1.
Connect your guitar or other instrument to the
IN
put jack. Connect an
amplifier, mixer, or DI box to the
OUT
put jack. If you have an expression
pedal (or 0-5V control voltage source like a synthesizer output), connect it
to the
EXP
ression input.
Use a 9V regulated 2.1mm, center-negative, power supply, capable of
providing at least 150mA of power and connect it to the 9V DC input.
Be sure to power up the ACV-1
BEFORE
turning on your amplifier to
prevent speaker pop and the potential to damage your speakers or
headphones.
To start, set the ACV-1 to the
Home
position and take a step to the left.
