Step 1: Hook-Up

Full Band Recording to Computer (Single Amplifier/Stereo Mode)
V-AMP Pro Guitar Rig Hook-up (Single Amplifier/Stereo Mode)

Step 2: Controls
Step 3: Getting started
Make sure the amplifier and your sound source are turned OFF.
Set all GAIN CONTROLS to their farthest counterclockwise position.
Turn on your sound source (mixer, CD player, computer)
Press the POWER BUTTON to switch on the amplifier.
Set the output levels on your sound source.
Step 4: Bi-amping
Bi-amping splits a mono signal into upper and lower frequency bands, and then assigns each frequency band to separate speaker cabinets. A subwoofer typically takes the low frequency range. By splitting the signal this way, the speakers work more efficiently, and you can achieve a cleaner overall sound.
