Further uses for the CR-4
...............
Using the CR-4 as a guitar combo
To use the CR-4 as a very portable guitar
combo, with built-in amp modeling and built-
in effects:
1 Connect your guitar to track 1. Press the
[REC/OL] button and adjust the [TRIM]
and fader levels (
→p.10).
2 Switch track 1’s [EFFECT] switch on, and
select your amp/speaker model and effects
(
→p.14).
3 Now you can play. Adjust the overall vol-
ume with the [MASTER] fader.
...............
Using the CR-4 as a pre-amplifier
If the CR-4’s speakers aren’t loud enough for
you, use the [LINE OUT] jacks to connect to a
suitable stereo input of another system, allow-
ing you to use the amp/speaker modeling and
effects through a larger system.
Be sure that the input of the other system
matches the output of the CR-4 (see the
specifications). You can damage the CR-4
and the other equipment if they do not
match.
Simply press the [REC/OL] button of any
tracks that you want to output through the
other system. After setting the [TRIM] levels,
adjust the pan position [PAN] and level (fad-
ers) of each track.
The [MASTER] fader is probably best left at the
[7] or [8] position. Adjust the overall level with
the other unit’s volume control.
You can use the CR-4 to do solo gigs in this
way, if you’ve recorded your backing on
two tracks of a CR-4 cassette. Play back
these backing tracks, with a microphone
connected to one of the unused tracks, and
a guitar connected to the other. You can use
a separate guitar processor or stomp box to
give one set of effects for the guitar, and use
the CR-4’s reverb to add some depth and
warmth to your vocals.
