Environment

Avoid using your 8080 in environments where it will be exposed to: Extreme temperature High humidity or moisture Excessive dust or sand Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

Since the 8080 is a precision electronic device, avoid applying excessive force to the switches and buttons. Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive pressure.

Alterations

Never open the case of the 8080 or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.
Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn off the power to the 8080 and all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before moving the 8080.

Connection Examples

Connection example 1: instrument/guitar amplifier connection
When using only one guitar amplifier, connect the L/MONO OUTPUT jack of the 8080 to the input of the guitar amplifier. In this case, the L and R signals of stereo effects will be combined in the output. When using two guitar amplifiers, connect the L and R OUTPUT jacks of the 8080 to the inputs of the guitar amplifiers.

Connection example 3: external guitar amplifier connection When wishing to control channel switching of a guitar amplifier using the foot switches of the 8080, connect the EXTERNAL CONTROL jack of the 8080 with the foot switch jack of the guitar amplifier, using either a stereo or mono cable ( p. 42).
Connection example 2: external effect/preamplifier connection When wishing to control the on/off condition of an external distortion effect or preamplifier or similar, connect the effect device in the EXTERNAL DIST SEND and EXTERNAL DIST RETURN loop ( p. 41).
Set the EXTERNAL DIST RETURN GAIN switch to the position which matches the output level of the connected equipment. For use with a compact NOeffect device, the "-20 dB" position will normally be best, whereas professional effect devices and guitar preamplifiers will work better with the "+4 dB" setting.

Outline of the 8080

This section explains what the 8080 is and what it can do. You will also find explanations of some important terms here. Basic Operation
The 8080 is a multi-effect device made up of eight different effect modules (effect blocks). Each effect module acts like a single compact effect. The following modules are available: COMP Compressor effects for processing the sound level EFF1 Equalizer effects and wah/modulation effects with strong characteristics. Can be inserted before or after the DIST module. DIST Analog distortion effects EQ Basic equalizer effects EFF2 Modulation-type effects for changing pitch and creating special effects EFF3 Standard modulation-type effects such as flanger and chorus DLY Stereo delay effects REV Reverberation effects Almost all effect modules contain several variations of an effect (effect types), out of which the user can select the most suitable one. The illustration below shows the signal flow in the 8080 and the effect types for the various effect modules.

TOTAL PATCH LEVEL

Patches
Internal settings of the 8080 are called patches which can be stored in memory and called up at any time. A patch consists of the parameter settings for the various effect modules, plus information about the patch level, control pedal and control switch settings, EFF1 routing, EFF2/EFF3 connection type, etc. The section enclosed in a dotted line in the above illustration is a patch. The 8080 divides patches into four groups: one USER group for patches that can be changed by the user and three PRESET groups (A-C) for patches that have been programmed at the factory. Each group contains 50 patches, resulting in a total of 200 patches. The 8080 allows simultaneous use of one group from the PRESET A-C groups and one patch from the USER group. Within a group, patches are divided into "banks" of five patches each. Every group has ten such banks (numbered 0- 9).
You can use the USER FUNCTION switch on the top panel to select PRESET groups A-C ( p. 40).
Groups that can be used together USER group BANK Patch No.
The EFF1 module can be inserted before or after the DIST module.
NOThe EFF2 and EFF3 modules can be connected in series or parallel.
PRESET group A BANK Patch No.
PRESET group B BANK Patch No.
PRESET group C BANK Patch No.
The 8080 has the following three main operation modes: Play mode

Edit mode

Utility mode
In this mode, you select patches and use them for playing. You can also temporarily turn effects off, tune your instrument, and perform some other functions. In this mode, you can edit (change) the parameters of the effect modules in the currently selected patch. In this mode, you can make amp simulator, MIDI, and other settings which affect all patches.

Using the Auto tuner function
The 8080 incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner which makes it easy to tune your guitar. This function can be used when the 8080 is in the bypass/mute condition.

The USER FUNCTION switch can be programmed by the user to perform a desired function. The following four functions are available: switch between Play mode and Manual mode, call up a predefined bank number, call up a predefined patch number, switch between PRESET groups A/B/C. In the factory default condition, the switch is set to select PRESET groups.
To switch between Play mode and Manual mode with the USER FUNCTION switch
In Manual mode, the foot switches 1-5 can be used to turn predefined effect modules on and off. To do this, the following steps are required. In Utility mode, set the USER FUNCTION switch parameter to "MANUAL". In Utility mode, assign the desired effect modules to foot switches 1-5.

EFF3 Module

This module contains conventional modulation-type effects such as flanger and chorus.
Characteristic flanger effect indispensable for jet sound.
Sets the depth of the flanging effect Sets the speed of the flanging effect. Increasing this parameter emphasizes modulation, resulting in a more pronounced flanging effect. Sets the predelay time. Sets the RTM direction.

SPD= w MAN= r

q DPT (Depth) w SPD (Speed) e FB (Feedback) r MAN (Manual)

FLG RTM= t DIR= y

t RTM (RTM Destination) Sets the parameter to be controlled by RTM.
Recreates a vintage flanger effect that has been extensively used by hard rock musicians.
Sets the depth of the flanging effect. Sets the speed of the flanging effect. Increasing this parameter emphasizes modulation, resulting in a more pronounced flanging effect. Sets the predelay time. Sets the RTM direction.

SPD NML, INV

VFLG DPT= q FB= e

VFLG RTM` t DIR= y

Phaser effect which allows detailed manual settings.
Sets the depth of the phaser effect. Sets the speed of the phaser effect. Emphasizes the phaser effect. Sets the center frequency when no modulation is applied. Sets the RTM direction.

q DPT (Depth) w SPD (Speed) e RES (Resonance) r OFS (Offset)

PHA RTM= t DIR= y

This chorus effect lends body and ambience to the sound. The tonal quality of the effect can also be adjusted, to achieve a warm chorus sound.

CHO DPT= q HiC= e

SPD= w Mix= r
Sets the depth of the phaser effect. Sets the speed of the phaser effect. Causes a treble cut in the effect sound. Adjusts the balance between original sound and effect sound. Sets the RTM direction.

Mix NML, INV

w SPD (Speed) e HiC (High Cut) r Mix (Mix)

CHO RTM` t

Recreates a traditional guitar chorus effect.
q CHO (Chorus Intensity) Sets the chorus depth when the SEL parameter is set to "CHO".

VCHO CHO= q VbD= e

VbS= w SEL= r

w VbS (Vibrato Speed)

Sets the vibrato speed when the SEL parameter is set to "VIB".
e VbD (Vibrato Depth) Sets the vibrato depth when the SEL parameter is set to "VIB". r SEL (Type Select) Serves to select the chorus or vibrato effect. t RTM (RTM Destination) Displays the parameter that is being controlled by RTM. When the SEL parameter is set to "CHO", "Mix" (balance between original sound and effect sound) is controlled. When the SEL parameter is set to "VIB", "SPD" is controlled. y DIR (RTM Direction) Sets the RTM direction.
