Congratulations on the purchase of your new M-120 MXR Auto Q

stomp box! MXR effects have been favored by professional

guitarists for decades. While other effects have come and gone,

MXR’s keep getting the job done … with bulletproof construction,

quiet, reliable switching and tasteful, musically inspired tone

shaping.

DESCRIPTION

• Effect triggers equally at all playing volumes, by adjusting sensitivity

automatically.

• More adjustable tone parameters than any other auto-wah!

• Bonus “shimmer” effect, adjustable for Rate, Blend & Decay.

POWER

MXR M-120 Auto Q uses one 9-volt battery. The battery access is through

the bottom of the pedal. The Auto Q uses the Dunlop ECB03 Adapter

(ECB03E for Europe), a 9-volt DC regulated AC adapter. Plug polarity is

positive on the barrel and negative in the center. Note: Battery must be

installed to operate the Auto Q unless an AC adapter is used.
