BRONCO

Getting Started
Getting Started
To set up your Bronco™ 40 amplifier:
1. Plug the supplied power cord into a grounded outlet.
2. Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack.
3. Press the POWER switch to the "ON" position.
4. Adjust the MASTER volume level.
♫
MASTER volume is the only knob you need to adjust at
first because the settings of all the other knobs are pre-
programmed into each PRESET.
Selecting Presets
Selecting Presets
Use the PRESET knob to select one of 24 presets. Presets are
stored in three banks, colored AMBER, GREEN and RED, in the
following order:
Each preset is based on one of the eight amplifier types
labeled next to each of the preset LEDs.
Each preset stores the settings for:
• Amplifier type — 8 selections
• Effects — 4 categories, 12 selections total
• Compression — 4 ranges, 12 selections total
• Knob levels — GAIN through TREBLE (not MASTER)
Knob Settings
Knob Settings
The MASTER volume knob is always "active." That means the
position of the MASTER volume knob always shows the true
master volume setting, unlike the programmable knobs.
(Always turn the MASTER volume knob first to adjust the
overall volume output of your Bronco 40 amplifier.)
Programmable Knobs
Because the setting of every knob (except MASTER) is part
of each preset, these "programmable" knobs are inactive and
knob positions will NOT show their actual settings when a
preset is first selected by turning the PRESET knob.
How do I activate a programmable knob? The moment you
turn any programmable knob it instantly becomes active
and it will remain active until you select a different preset, at
which time all programmable knobs become inactive again.
Effects & Compression
Effects & Compression
Use the FX knob to select effects and the COMP knob to
select levels of signal compression.
The FX and COMP knobs share the same three indicator LEDs.
The knob that is being turned, or has been turned most recent-
ly, has control of these LEDs.
