After the power cable has been connected to a mains outlet or power strip, and audio cables have been connected, turn the power switch on.
Adjust the level of the incoming audio signal so that the OUTPUT LEVEL meter briefly reaches 0 during the loudest peaks.
Experiment with the 4 chorus settings. Multiple buttons can also be depressed simultaneously for different sounds.
