Getting Started

Here are some basic setup tips to help get you going. To operate the

Loudbox Artist safely, please read the entire manual, especially the Important

Safety Instructions on page 2.

If your ampliﬁer has an operating voltage of 120V, plug the provided AC line

cord into the back of the ampliﬁer.

If your ampliﬁer operates at 230V, you must supply your own detachable power

cord. The cord you supply must have an IEC-style 320 connector at one end and

a male AC plug appropriate for your area at the other.

1. Locate the Power switch (above the rear panel power cord terminal) and switch

it off (down position), then connect the power cord.

2. Plug the Loudbox Artist into an electrical outlet with the appropriate AC

voltage.

3. Turn down the Master Volume control

and turn on the Power switch.

4. Connect your instrument to the Channel 1 input with a shielded ¼” cable.

5. Play aggressively and raise Channel 1 Gain until the Clip LED (inside the Pad

button) ﬂashes, then back off the Gain until no clipping occurs.

6. Set the tone controls “ﬂat” as illustrated below.

7. Push the Mute switch (turning off its yellow light) and slowly raise the

Master Volume to the desired level.
