Electric GuitarClean Amp

This Quick-Start is designed for guitarists recording directly into a mixing console. It simulates a clean amp set-up by routing the guitar first through a reverb and then into a clean amplifier effect. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Turn the DP/2 inputs and outputs knobs down all the way (counter-clockwise). Plug your guitar cord into the DP/2s front-panel input 1 jack. Connect cables from the DP/2s back-panel Output 1 and 2 jacks to two inputs on your stereo guitar amplifier or mixing console.
