Basic operation

Verify that the [MASTER] knob is turned to the 0 position. Then turn the [POWER] switch on. Set the [GAIN]/[BASS]/[MIDDLE]/[TREBLE]/[LEVEL] knobs to the center position.
Immediately after turning on the power, the manual mode is selected ([MANUAL] key is lit).

Display in manual mode

Use the [DRIVE TYPE] knob and the [VARIATION] key to select the drive type and variation.
Amplier characteristics and distortion depth will differ, depending on the selected drive type. To create your sound in manual mode, rst use the [DRIVE TYPE] knob to select the drive type, and then choose the variation (standard/vintage) with the [VARIATION] key. (For information on available drive types, see page 18.)
Raise the [MASTER] knob to a suitable position, and adjust the distortion depth and volume with the [GAIN] knob and [LEVEL] knob while playing your guitar.
Normally, you will use the [GAIN] knob to adjust distortion depth and the [LEVEL] knob to adjust the level for a particular patch. The [MASTER] knob controls the overall volume, common to all patches.
Use the [BASS]/[MIDDLE]/[TREBLE] knobs to adjust the tone.
You can also use the [BOOST], [SUSTAIN], [EDGE], and [BOTTOM] keys to increase the sound pressure, prolong sustain, and emphasize the high or low frequency range.
To change the ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) setting, press the [ZNR] key.
The LED of the key ashes, and the current setting (Z1 - Z9, oF) is shown for about 2 seconds on the display. Use the [Q]/[W] keys to select the new setting. To switch ZNR on or off, press the [ZNR] key once more. Higher setting values result in more effective noise reduction. Set the value as high as possible without causing the sound to be cut off abruptly.
To turn the unit off, turn the [MASTER] knob all the way down and then turn off the [POWER] switch.

Using effects

The FIRE-30 incorporates two types of effects (modulation and delay/reverb). This section explains how to activate the effects and use them to achieve various kinds of sound.
To use a modulation effect, press the corresponding [TYPE] key.
The respective LED lights up and the modulation effect is activated. The selected effect type and setting value are shown for about 2 seconds on the display.

Use the [VALUE] knob.

For example, if you press the [CHORUS] key in step 1 and then operate the [VALUE] knob, the setting value changes in the range from C1 to C9, with the effect intensity (in this example the chorus modulation rate) changing accordingly. (For details regarding effect types and setting values, see pages 19 - 22.)
You can use only one type of modulation effect at a time. Also if the effect type and setting value are not currently shown on the display, the setting value of the currently selected effect type (whose TYPE key LED is lit) will change.
To use a delay/reverb effect, turn the [TYPE/TIME] knob and select the effect type and setting value you want to use.
When you operate the [TYPE/TIME] knob, the display shows the currently selected effect type and the setting value.
The available delay/reverb effect types and the corresponding codes are shown in the table below.

DELAY ECHO

ROOM HALL
When the knob is turned clockwise from the extreme left position, the effect type and value settings cycle as follows: d1 - d9 (delay E1 - E9 (echo) r1 - r9 (room) H1 - H9 (hall). (For details regarding effect types and setting values, see page 22.)
Use the [MIX] knob to adjust the ratio of original sound (guitar sound) and delay/reverb sound.
The setting range is 0 - 9. Turning the knob clockwise increases the depth of the delay/reverb effect. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise turns the delay/reverb effect off.
You can change the effect settings of patches in the same way in program mode.
Loading and storing patches
The FIRE-30 offers a bank of ten read/write user patches (U) and a bank of ten read-only preset patches (A, b). Patches in each bank are numbered 0 - 9. This section explains how to call up stored user patches or preset patches and how to save amplier and effect settings in a user patch.

Loading a patch

Press the [PROGRAM/BANK] key in the patch section, so that the LED lights up.
The FIRE-30 switches from manual mode to program mode, and the currently selected patch is

shown on the display.

In program mode, the knobs and controls on the panel become inactive, and the settings of the patch shown on the display are enabled.
Use the [Q]/[W] keys to select the bank and number of the desired patch.
With the [Q]/[W] keys, you can cycle through the patches in the order U0 - U9 A0 - A9 b0 - b9 U0. (For information on factory default patch contents, see page 17.)
Patch bank U: User bank; A, b: preset banks

Patch number

When you press the [PROGRAM/BANK] key, the patch number stays the same and only the bank is toggled: U1 A1 b1 U1.

Operate the controls in the input/preamp section and the effect section as required, to adjust the distortion, tone, volume, effect type and intensity, etc.
It is also possible to modify a patch after it was loaded. When a knob or key was operated, a dot appears at the bottom right of the display. This indicates that the contents of the patch have changed. (When you return to the original settings, the dot disappears.)
You can store the contents of a changed user patch by pressing the [STORE] key. For information on the procedure, see the section "Storing a patch".
If you have changed some settings and then select another patch, the settings of the previous patch will return to the stored condition. If you want to preserve your changes, store the user patch.

Storing a patch

When you store a patch, any patch currently stored under the same number will be overwritten (erased and replaced with the new settings). Take care not to accidentally erase a patch that you want to keep.
Use the knobs and keys on the panel to establish the desired sound. Press the [STORE] key in the patch section.
The indication "U" (for user bank) and the patch number (0 - 9) are shown on the display. In this condition, storing the settings as a user patch is possible.
Use the [Q]/[W] keys to select the desired user patch (U0 - U9).
The preset patches (A0 - A9, b0 - b9) are read-only and cannot be selected as store targets.
To store the patch, press the [STORE] key once more.
The store process is carried out, and the unit goes into program mode. To cancel the process and return to the condition of step 1, press the [EXIT] key instead of the [STORE] key.
By calling up an existing patch and then selecting another destination for the store process, copying a patch is possible.

Using the built-in tuner

The FIRE-30 incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner which can be activated by pressing the [TUNER] key.
Press the [TUNER] key in the patch section.
The LED of the key lights up and the internal tuner becomes active. If you want to tune while keeping the sound output on, press the [TUNER] key only briey. (The display indication shows "tU".) If you want to tune while the sound is muted, hold down the [TUNER] key somewhat longer. (Release the key when the display indication shows "Mt".)
