Rotate the DATA WHEEL to explore Amp Design presets. Amp settings and internal circuitry will change automatically! (You will hear the presets change instantly, before the motorized knobs catch up.) NOTE: You can interrupt the motorized rotation of a knob simply by grabbing it and turning it.
Turn to page 8 for an overview of the basic operation of your CyberTwin SE.
Note on the CyberTwin SE pr esets
Custom Shop presets were created by various players fluent in the corresponding musical styles. The appropriate model of guitar was used wherever possible, ala Jimi with a maple-necked Stratocaster. Consequently, some presets may seem to be more trebly or bassy than you would prefer, or seem louder or quieter than some of the other presets. This is natural, because if person A plays a Telecaster in a tiled room, and person B uses a Jazz guitar in a carpeted room, they will achieve very different end results. You can easily move the knob settings and store your changes if desired. Most of our Cyber-presets are designed to let the unique character of your instrument and playing style come through. Thats why thousands of pros and hobbyists alike have added the Cyber-Twin SE to their tone toolbox! Enjoy!

Introduction

Your new Cyber-Twin SE amplifier is the crowning achievement of Fenders most advanced research and development project. Brought to you by the same Toneteam that created the original CyberTwin amplifier, the Cyber-Twin SE (Second Edition) is refined and updated with additional amp designs and effects. CyberSeries amplifiers are endowed with Fenders exclusive Virtual Tone Interpolation technology (patent number 6,222,110). VTI technology enables the Cyber-Twin SE amplifier to be different amplifiers according to circuit design. Starting with a virtual circuit board, the Cyber-Twin SE amplifier "rewires" its fundamental architecture (tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc.) to become the essence of all the amplifier greats Fenders Blackface, DynaTouch, Tweed and Modern amps, and even the best of the British amps! The Cyber-Twin SE amplifier allows you to be the amp designer. Start with one of 150

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.
Each preset contains a complete set of amplifier and effects settings.
There are three banks of PRESETS. The FENDER CUSTOM SHOP (C00-C99) and YOUR AMP COLLECTION (A00-A49) are permanent presets. The PLAYERS LOUNGE (P00-P99) presets are rewritable for you to save your own amp and effect designs. The Cyber-Twin SE is instantly reconfigured to the settings saved within a selected preset. The 8 MOTORIZED knobs on the Cyber-Twin SE automatically adjust to the preset settings. You can safely interrupt knob rotation anytime by manually stopping it. Note that the display will temporarily indicate knob position when turned manually. Changes you make to amplifier settings (volume, tone, effects, etc.) will be lost upon selecting a different preset or turning the amplifier off, unless you save them. SAVE simply by pressing SAVE, selecting a Players Lounge preset to overwrite and pressing SAVE again. The SAVE LED blinks as a reminder to save settings once a change is made. NOTE: MEMORY PROTECTION must be disabled before you can save! (see page 24). AMP EDIT MODE, FX EDIT MODE and UTILITY MODE are activated by pressing the corresponding buttons to the right of the display. Use these modes for modifying amp design, selecting and editing effects and for system management. TUNER MODE is activated using the TUNER button; use it to tune your guitar. PLAY MODE is reactivated by pressing EXIT. Use it to play guitar! Two FOOTSWITCHES are supplied with your Cyber-Twin SE. Connect them to the appropriate rear panel jacks to enable remote selection of your Quick Access buttons and Reverb/Effects bypass.

L. NOISE GATE

Turns the noise gate on/off. Use it to reduce static and environmental noise transmitted through nearby electronic devices. Enter AMP edit mode to edit noise gate depth and threshold parameters (see page 14).

M. TAP

In PLAY mode, TAP sets the time/rate interval of the active effect, if applicable. Press TAP at least twice at the desired rate to set the interval by feel (the average of the last five taps is calculated for multiple taps). Press TAP once for the longest interval possible. The TAP LED flashes at the interval rate which is also temporarily displayed. Adjust the time/rate parameter accessed in the FX edit mode for precision control of the TAP interval (see the FX menus on page 16 for details). In UTILITY mode, TAP is used to confirm menu actions.

N. PEAK and MIDI LEDs

PEAK flashes when the DSP circuit is clipping (distorting). Reduce VOLUME if undesirable distortion is heard while this LED is on, then use MASTER to the increase loudness level. MIDI is on when the CyberTwin SE is communicating MIDI information.

O. HUM REDUCTION

Turns hum reduction on/off. Reduces environmental hum in some situations using a patented algorithm that seeks out line frequencies and squelches only the hum, without degrading your music!
P. FX LEVEL / FX VAL 1 / FX VAL 2
Adjusts the level, parameter 1 and parameter 2 of the active effect, respectively. The functions of these knobs as well as additional parameters can be accessed through the FX edit mode (see page 16).
Q. DISPLAY and DATA WHEEL

Sine Chorus and Triangle Chorus
Stereo effects that add a swirling effect (sine) or transparent effect (triangle) with delay modulation used to thicken a sound.
Sine Flange and Triangle Flange
Stereo effects with feedback that add a whooshing effect (sine) or a sharper phasing effect (triangle) with delay modulation.

Amp Tremolo and Tremolo

Modulates volume of the input signal. Amp Tremolo is vintage Fender Blackface amplifier tremolo and Tremolo is a sine-wave effect approximating a gridbias tremolo or the repeat percussion of a Tweed Tremolux. DUTY CYCLEAdjusts the high to low interval ratio of the signal volume. (Amp Tremolo only) TREMOLO SHAPEAdjusts tremolo character from smooth to choppy. TREMOLO OFFSETAdjusts the oscillator center frequency from extreme to gentle signal modulation. (Tremolo only)

Auto Pan

A traditional foot-operated wah controlled with an expression pedal (optional). For best results, the optimal expression pedal specifications include passive, 10k to 250k ohms. WAHAdjusts the wah filter center frequency. HEEL / TOE FREQUENCYAdjusts the minimum and maximum frequency limits. Use to control the functional range of your pedal. SWEEP TYPESelect The Babys Cryin (modern wah) or The Real McQ (vintage wah).

Touch Wah

Touch Wah is a dynamic wah that varies according to playing strength and volume level. SENSITIVITYAdjusts the Touch Wah sensitivity to changes in volume. MINIMUM / MAXIMUM FREQUENCYAdjusts the Touch Wah frequency at low and high playing volumes respectively. These settings can be reversed so that low volumes will start with a high frequency wah that decreases when volume increases. SWEEP TYPESelect Low Q (smooth wah) or High Q (extreme wah).

Vibratone

Rotating speaker effect based on the CBS-era Fender Vibratone speaker with a 2speed rotating baffle. VIBRO DOPPLERAdjusts the Doppler shift (pitch change) of baffle rotation. ROTOR SPEED 1, 2Sets alternate rotor speeds selectable with the Reverb/FX Bypass footswitch: Select Vibratone as the active effect, then use the AMP button to access the Reverb/FX Bypass menu.

Delay + Chorus

Combination mono digital delay and triangle chorus effect.

Delay + Flange

Combination mono digital delay and triangle flange effect.

Delay + Phaser

Combination mono digital delay and stereo phaser effect.

AutoSwell + Chorus

An automatically triggered volume swell (increase) effect with chorus. The swell begins when you reach the selected volume threshold. Note that you must stop playing momentarily for autoswell to reset. AUTOSWELL ATTACK TIMEAdjusts the time the swell takes to reach full volume. AUTOSWELL SENSITIVITYAdjusts the volume level at which the effect is triggered.

UltraClean + Chorus

An ultra-clean guitar tone with triangle chorus. For best results, use with clean amp settings and your guitars neck (rhythm) pickup. BODYAdjusts low frequency tone. BRILLIANCEAdjusts high frequency tone.

Pitch Shift

A semitone-variable pitch shifter and detuner. PITCHAdjusts 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 DETUNEAdjusts the pitch shift offset in micro-tone increments from: 1.0 (semi-tone flat), to 5.5 (in tune), to 10.0 (semi-tone sharp). PITCH PRE-DELAYAdjusts the delay before the pitch-shifted signal is heard.

A ring modulator with mono delay. Ring modulator creates tones above and below your original guitar signal. MOD FREQUENCYAdjusts the ring modulator frequency. Radical results can be achieved by controlling this parameter with an expression pedal (optional). Select Ring modulator as the active effect, then use the AMP button to access the Expression Pedal Assignment menu. Select Mod Frequency.

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.
