STAGE 112SE OWNERS MANUAL
The Fender STAGE I 12SE amplifier is a straight-ahead combination of radical new distortion sounds and time-tested Classic Fender Sounds packaged together in a Solid-State configuration, which is both easy to use and inherently reliable. The STAGE 112SE NORMAL Channel features the standard compliment of VOLUME, TREBLE, MID, and BASS controls with the addition of a MID SHIFT Button for that ultra-clean sound. The DRIVE Channel features GAIN, VOLUME, and a separate EQ consisting of CONTOUR, TREBLE, and BASS controls. The almost unlimited combinations of the GAIN and CONTOUR controls will vary your sound from smooth and bluesy to a honky bite or all the way to ten for the crunchiest sounds around. You get seating smooth highs backed by deep punch. The TREBLE and BASS controls give you continuous adjustment of the highs and lows, allowing the STAGE I 12SE to be the perfect compliment to your individual playing style. In addition to convenience features like All Front Panel Mounted Controls, the STAGE I 12SE features a detachable footswitch for selecting the DRIVE Channel and REVERB. Standard 1/4 inch phone jacks are used for ease of connection or extension of the footswitch to remote pedal boards. The PREAMP OUT & POWER AMP IN jacks can be used as an effects loop or as Send and Return points while slaving multiple amps together or for direct connection to recording and sound reinforcement mixers. The possibilities are endless (eg: by inserting a Chorus pedal between the PREAMP OUT of one amp and the POWER AMP IN of another, a true stereo image effect can be achieved). Last, but definitely not least, the Fender STAGE I 12SE packs a new power amp that is based on a radically underdamped design that interacts with the speaker in much the same way as a tube amplifier does, producing sparkle and punch with an increase in apparent loudness and power that defies comparison to other similarly rated units. Also included is a sophisticated, transparent protection scheme designed to completely prevent amplifier failure due to bad speaker cords or incorrectly connected speaker jacks. This amp is LOUD and can reliably put it out, night after night. The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years of quality music in a wide range of controlled sounds. This manual is designed to familiarize you with the equipment and to acquaint you with its many fine features. Read it carefully so that you will benefit from all the features as soon as you start using the amplifier. The built-in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over three-and-a-half decades of dedication in the combined skills of research and development by our engineers and musicians. That is why we proudly say. FENDER, The Sound That Creates Legends. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE AMPLIFIER TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
STAGE 112SE FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
A. INPUT 1 -A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments. B. INPUT 2-A plug-in connection for instruments. This input exhibits lower input impedance and sensitivity than INPUT 1, and is useful with active pre-amp guitars. This input will provide a darker tone with passive guitars. Both inputs are identical when used simultaneously. C. VOLUME - Adjusts overall volume of the NORMAL channel. D. NORMAL CHANNEL INDICATOR - This L.E.D. is illuminated when operating in the NORMAL channel. E. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of high frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel. F. MID - Adjusts the amount of mid frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel. G. MID SHIFT - When this button is depressed, it moves the frequency center of the NORMAL channel MID control up an octave. The tonal effect is a slight increase in bass response and a slight reduction of upper mids for a cleaner sound. H. BASS - Adjusts the amount of low frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel. I. GAIN - Adjusts the amount of distortion in the DRIVE channel. Lower settings provide a gradual compression distortion, while higher settings provide more sustain. This control works in conjunction with the DRIVE channel VOLUME control (item 0) to set the overall volume of the DRIVE channel. J. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR - This L.E.D. is illuminated when operating in the DRIVE channel. K. CONTOUR - Adjusts the overall tone quality of the DRIVE channel. Low CONTOUR settings will emphasize mid frequencies. A higher setting will notch the midrange to produce the crunch sound characteristic in most heavy metal music.

L. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of high frequency boost or cut in the DRIVE channel. This control is post distortion and is useful in adjusting the distortion characteristic from smooth to brash. M. BASS - Adjusts the amount of low frequency boost or cut in the DRIVE channel. This control is post distortion and is useful for adjusting the amount of thump or chunk produced by the DRIVE channel. N. DRIVE SELECT - When this button is depressed, the amp switches from the NORMAL channel to the DRIVE channel. NOTE: Depressing this switch disables the CHANNEL SELECT footswitch button. O. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall volume of the DRIVE channel. P. REVERB - Adjusts the amount of reverb present in both the NORMAL and DRIVEchannels. Q. FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for a remote footswitch to switch between the NORMAL and DRIVE channels and to turn the REVERB on and off. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord will work with the remote footswitch; however, a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord when its available. R. PREAMP OUT - This jack provides an unbalanced output signal from the preamp. This jack can be used with the POWER AMP IN jack (item S) as a patch point for effects. S. POWER AMP IN - This jack provides an input directly to the power amp. It automatically disconnects the preamp signal when used. This is useful when using effects, or when the STAGE 112SE is used as a slave amplifier. T. LINE OUT - This jack provides an output signal taken directly off the amplifier output and speaker. Using a stereo cord in this jack will provide a quasi-balanced signal. A mono cord will provide an unbalanced signal. U. POWER SWITCH - Turns the AC power on and off. When the switch is in the off position, the amplifier is completely shut down.
STAGE 112SE REAR PANEL FEATURES
EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK The STAGE I 12SE features a plug in connection for external speakers (8 ohm minimum).
LINE CORD This Amplifier is equipped with a grounding type supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard caused by leakage current. Be sure to connect it to a grounded AC receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG.
VINYL CARE The exclusive Fender vinyl covering your cabinet has been especially designed for years of lasting beauty. A very light, soapy solution on a sponge may be used to remove dirt and residue that may accumulate in the grain. Be careful not to let any liquid come in contact with operating surfaces. UNPLUG THE AMPLIFIER WHEN CLEANING OR APPROACHING IT WITH FLUIDS.
TROUBLESHOOTERS CHECKLIST
Is the power cord properly plugged into an electrical outlet? Is there power at the outlet? Is the speaker properly connected to the amplifier? Are all the control knobs turned above four? Is the volume control on the instrument turned up? Is your instrument properly plugged into the amplifier? (Eliminate all effects and try another guitar cord.)
If, after checking all of the above, the system is still not working correctly, consult your Fender Service Dealer.

Front Panel Overview

This page introduces key concepts for the basic operation of your CyberTwin SE. The following pages provide an overview of each item on the front and rear panels. The DISPLAY shows vital information and menus for the Cyber-Twin SE. The DATA WHEEL works dynamically with the display giving you full control over preset selection, effect parameters and system configuration. The display also responds to the use of panel knobs or buttons providing useful information. You can enter different MODES to edit amplifier designs, effects and system utilities; each mode determines the functions of the display and data wheel. PLAY MODE is active whenever the Cyber-Twin SE amplifier is first switched on. After booting up, the display will show information about the current preset. The first line displays the preset location (bank/number) and name. The second line displays the type of tone stack controls (treble, middle, bass), tone stack location (pre/post distortion) and the active effect. In play mode, the data wheel selects presets.

GG. SPDIF OUTPUT

Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format output jack for connecting SPDIF compatible equipment such as a digital recorder. Although this jack accepts a standard RCA plug, the SPDIF OUTPUT is a digital stereo source not compatible with other functions normally associated with RCA jacks.

HH. HEADPHONES JACK

Connection for headphones using a standard 1/4 stereo phone plug. Speaker outputs (internal and rear panel jacks) are automatically muted, but LINE OUTPUT jacks are not.

II. LINE OUTPUT

Impedance balanced XLR jacks for output to sound reinforcement and recording equipment. Use the button to select stereo or dual mono signal. These outputs are frequency compensated to simulate the sound of a miked speaker.

JJ. EFFECTS LOOP

Connections for external effects devices. Connect MONO SEND to the input of your effects device and the output of the effects device to the MONO RETURN jack or both RETURN jacks, according to your effects device. Use the LEVEL button to optimize the loop for your effects device (usually 10dBv for footpedals and +4dBu for rack mounted effects).

KK. SPEAKER OUTPUT

Stereo output jacks for connecting external speaker cabinets. Speakers must be 8ohm minimum (per channel) and handle 65 watts minimum. Use unshielded speaker cable of 16gauge or heavier for connections up to 50 ft (15 m) and always turn the amplifier off before making connections.

Amp Edit Mode

E ffects and Parameters Defined
NOTE: Most effects have the same types of parameters in common and they are defined as a group below. Some effects have unique parameters and they are defined under the corresponding effect.

Common Parameters

IN / OUT LEVELAdjusts the effect circuit input or output signal level. TIME / RATEAdjusts an interval or cycle duration. FEEDBACKAdjusts how much of the effect circuit output is returned to its input. BRIGHTNESSAdjusts the effected tone in the high-frequency range. DELAY TIME CHANGESelect Ramp for an analog sounding warble, or select Step for a digital sounding zip when changing the delay time parameter. STEREOAdjusts the stereo separation between channels. DEPTHAdjusts the range of a modulation sweep. PHASEAdjusts the relationship between the two oscillators used in modulation effects.

Effects Definitions

Mono Delay
The most basic single-tap digital delay effect.
Dotted 8/16, One-E-Da, Ping Pong, Swing Tap and Stereo Flam Delays
Multitap (multipleoutput) stereo digital delays with various tap timings.

Ducking Delay

A mono delay with a special feature while you are playing, your delayed repeats are quiet or duck below the dry signal when you stop playing, the delayed repeats return to normal volume. DUCKING DELAY RELEASE Adjusts how long the delayed repeats wait to return to normal volume after you stop playing. DUCKING SENSITIVITYAdjusts how loud your playing has to be to activate the delay ducking.

New Effects

Auto Pan Delay
A digital delay with random auto-panning in the stereo field.
A classic 60s70s distortion effect rich with overtones and sustain. The effect includes an octave higher parameter which can be independently mixed in. FUZZ GAINAdjusts the gain of the fuzz effect. OCTAVE LEVELAdjusts the level of the octave up signal mixed in. LOW FREQUENCYAdjusts the low frequency tone of the fuzz effect. HIGH FREQUENCYAdjusts the high frequency tone of the fuzz effect.

Resolver

A low-fidelity effect that purposely reduces the quality of the input signal. Effective for lofi filtering on song introductions, for example. DEPTHAdjusts the amount of signal degradation. TONEAdjusts the tone of the degraded signal. ATTACKAdjusts the amount of time it takes for the signal to reach full degradation. RELEASEAdjusts the amount of time it takes for the signal to return from full degradation.

Pedal Pitcher

An effect very similar to the Pitch Shift effect, optimized for dynamic control with an expression pedal or continuous controller. With practice, wammy bar effects can be created. This effect is positioned before distortion whereas the Pitch Shift effect is post distortion. PITCHSmoothly adjusts the pitch shift value in semi-tone increments from: 1.0 (2 octaves below), to 5.5 (unison) to 10.0 (2 octaves above). PITCH PRE-DELAYAdjusts the delay before the pitch-shifted signal is heard. HEEL LIMITAdjusts the minimum limit of pitch reached at the heel of the pedal. TOE LIMITAdjusts the maximum limit of pitch reached at the toe of the pedal.

Overdrive

A popular pre-distortion gain stage effect (like the green pedal you know and love), with additional tone controls. Use this effect with the Reverb/FX Bypass footswitch (assigned to FX Input Only in the Amp Edit Mode) to recreate a stompbox setup. GAINAdjusts the gain of the overdrive effect. BASSAdjusts the low frequency band of the overdriven signal. MIDDLEAdjusts the middle frequency band of the overdriven signal. TREBLEAdjusts the high frequency band of the overdriven signal.

Alienator

A strange effect similar to a random ring modulator that provides additional tones reminiscent of sci-fi B-movies. This effect is optimized for expression pedals or continuous controllers. CONTENTAdjusts the frequency range of the additionally generated tones. HEEL RANGE LIMITAdjusts the minimum frequency limit of the content parameter for pedal control. TOE RANGE LIMITAdjusts the maximum frequency limit of the content parameter for pedal control. SHAPEAdjusts the shape or taper of the content curve between the heel and toe limits.

SysEx Handshake

Following the guidelines of the MIDI specifications, data is transmitted as follows: First, the System Exclusive Header is sent. The amp will wait 200ms to look for a handshake. If no handshake is received then the amp will transmit the first data packet. The transmission continues until all the information has been sent. After the last packet, the End of File message is sent. The System Exclusive device ID must be set to Omni (or the same as the transmitting device ID) to accomplish the data transfers. NOTE: Data values are displayed in hexadecimal with H for clarification.
