Overview The Genesis1 is a desktop amp modeling device featuring GENETX™ amp models, cabinets, and effects processing. Its simple user interface requires no programming. There are eleven amp and cabinet types to select from, and the amp models can be modified using the five gain and tone controls. There are also five effects (Compressor, Modulation, Delay, Reverb, and Gate) that can be used to enhance the sound. Front Panel The Genesis1’s front panel consists of the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Rear Panel The Genesis1’s rear panel has the following connections: 1. Input - Plug your instrument into this jack. 2. CD INPUT(1/8” Stereo TRS) - Connect a CD headphone output to this jack. 3. Headphone Output - Plug stereo headphones to this jack. 4. LEFT OUTput - Connect an amplifier input, a power amp input, or line input of a mixing console to this jack. 5. RIGHT OUTput - Use this jack in conjunction with the left output for stereo applications.
Below are some examples for connecting the Genesis 1 to different types of systems. When running stereo into 2 channels of a mixer, be sure to set the channel pans to hard left and hard right: Footswitch Operation If you have chosen to purchase the Digitech FS300 footswitch, you can remotely control the Genesis 1. Each button of the FS300 functions with the Genesis 1 as follows: Footswitch A - Bypasses modulation effects Footswitch B - Bypasses delay and reverb effects.
Amplifier The Genesis1 has eleven amp models to select from including 2 models created using GENETX™ technology. Rotate the AMPLIFIER knob to select the amp model you want to use. Each amp model is labeled on the front panel. The Amplifier knob has a pointer that identifies the selected model.
Modulation The Genesis1 has 3 modulation effects to choose from: Chorus,Tremolo, and Phaser. Only one modulation effect can be selected at a time. The Modulation button has a 3-color LED (Red, Green,Yellow) that indicates the 3 different effects. Press the MODULATION button until the LED color lights with the effect you want to use. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed and intensity of each effect. For example: CHORUS - A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal.
Gate The Genesis1 has an adjustable noise gate with three threshold settings. The noise gate is designed to eliminate hiss and ambient noise while you are not playing. The noise gate has a single button with a 3-color LED (red, green, yellow). Each color represents a different noise gate threshold: HIGH (Yellow, MED (Green), and LOW (Red). The lower the threshold, the easier it is to open the noise gate. Press the Gate button until the LED color lights with the setting you want to use.
