ULTRA ACOUSTIC MODELER AM400 Ultimate Electric-to-Acoustic Guitar Modeling Effects Pedal Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER ULTRA ACOUSTIC MODELER AM400. This high-quality modelling effects pedal is designed for all electric guitar players who want to add incredibly realistic acoustic guitar sounds to their playing. Thanks to its Real Sound Modeling (RSM) technology that combines state-of-the-art DSP technology with sophisticated algorithms to emulate real acoustic environments, you can create everything from standard, large-resonant, brilliant to bright Piezo pickup simulations. 1. Controls (3) (6) (1) The LEVEL control adjusts the output (1) (5) level of the effect. (2) The REVERB control adjusts the (2) (4) amount of reverb effect that can be added to the signal. (3) The RES(onance) control adjusts the (9) (8) resonance of the simulated acoustic guitar body. (4) The ATTACK control adjusts the amount (10) of attack and harmonic content of the high frequencies. (5) The MODE control lets you choose between four different acoustic modes: (7) STANDARD produces a typical acoustic guitar sound. LARGE delivers a large, more resonant acoustic. PIEZO simulates the distinct brightness of a classic piezo pickup. BRIGHT gives you a brilliant and ultra-present sound, perfect for cutting through in a live environment. (6) The ON/BATT-LED illuminates when the effect is activated. It also serves as a battery level indicator. (7) Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect. (8) Use this 1/4" TS IN connector to plug in the instrument cable. (9) This is the 1/4" TS OUT connector. When you only use this output, it carries the affected signal when the effect is active, and the direct signal (without effect) when the effect is inactive-both optimized for connecting to guitar amplifiers. When both the OUT and the DIR OUT (see (10)) connectors are used, the OUT connector carries the affected signal optimized for connecting to a mixer/PA when the effect is active. When the effect is inactive the OUT connector is muted. (10) This is the 1/4" TS DIR OUT connector, which is muted when the effect is active. When inactive it carries the direct signal (without effect) optimized for connecting to guitar amplifiers. It works the same way, when both the DIR OUT and the OUT (see (9) ) connectors are used. Use the DC IN connection at the front of the unit to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included). The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located underneath the pedal cover. To install or replace the 9 V battery, press the hinges with a ballpen and remove the pedal cover. Be careful not to scratch the unit.
