Danger

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss.

Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.

The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1

SOUND LEVEL (dB) 90 93 95 97 100 103

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

These ¼” mono jacks deliver the signal going to the speakers at an unbalanced line level. The main purpose of these jacks is to deliver line level outputs to external sound reinforcement devices such as powered monitors or speakers. They will not drive external non-powered speakers. To prevent an undesirable feedback oscillation, do not use these jacks on signal processors or effects that will be using the power amp input jacks.

Left and Right Preamp out:

These ¼” mono jacks deliver an unbalanced line level output from the preamp and digital effects.

The main purpose of these jacks is to send a signal to the input of third party signal processors or effects that will be using the power amp input jacks. These jacks do not interrupt signal flow from the preamp to the power amp.

Left and Right Power Amp In :

These ¼” mono jacks allow the left and right power amplifiers to be used with an external line level input. The main purpose of these jacks is to receive the return signal from a third party signal processor or effect.

Description

Using the Digital Effects Processor

The digital effects section is designed to allow quick changes during a performance. This is done by assigning each of the 3 channel selections an effect preset. The channel selections are Rhythm, Lead, and

Lead Boost. The 3 channel selection presets are stored in banks called Favorites. There are 4 Favorites banks giving a total of 12 presets.

preset. When any of the 6 parameters are changed, the

Effect select and Favorites button flash to indicate the change is not saved. Press the Save button to save the changes or select another preset to ignore the changes when the preset is selected again. Switching to a different

Favorite or selecting another channel changes presets.

Each preset stores 3 different effect groups. The effect groups are Delays, Modulations, and Reverbs. Each effect group has 15 different effect selections to choose from and a level adjustment. They also include a bypass allowing the signal to pass through to the next group.

Bypassing all 3 groups is the same as turning the effects off. This feature is useful if you want to switch channels and bypass the effects using a single switch. A Favorites preset stores parameters for each of the 3 Effect Groups giving a total of 6 effect parameters stored in each

The block diagram in Fig. A uses “Stomp Boxes” to represent the 3 Effect Groups. Notice how the “Stomp

Box” parameters change for the different Preamp channel selections. The display shows these parameters.

This gives the user a great advantage over a standard amplifier with “Stomp Boxes” where the changes would need to be made manually.

The chart in Fig. B lists the factory defaults for the 4 favorite banks. To restore the presets to factory defaults, hold Favorite 1 and REV buttons and turn power on (see page 5).

Selecting different effects

Press any of the Effect Group buttons. They flash indicating you are in edit mode but no changes are made, even when the illuminated group button is pressed. An illuminated or flashing effect Group button indicates it is selected.

Making temporary changes

Once you get your effects set up, you may not want to make permanent changes during a performance.

As long as you stay on the same Favorites bank and not disrupt the AC power, you can make temporary changes without saving. This makes it easy to change settings for different room acoustics.

Select any of the 15 effects in a selected group or bypass it by repeat pressing the group button. The effect name is indicated on the display. The word “ ” on the display indicates the effect group is turned off. Each time you press a flashing group button, the effect in that group moves up to the next one. You can also hold down the button to scroll through the effects. If you pass up the effect you want, continue scrolling until you reach the effect again. The chart in Fig. C shows how the effects in the 3 groups are organized.

Saving the temporary changes

Press the Save button. All 3 presets in the selected

Favorites bank are saved.

Change the level of an effect group

The selected effect group button is illuminated. Rotate the Level control to raise or lower the level of the selected effect group. The effect group levels ( ) are indicated on the display to the right of the group name.

A red illuminated rectangle around a group name indicates it can be adjusted using the Level control.

Delete temporary changes and use saved Presets

Method 1

Select a different Favorites Bank without pressing save. The temporary changes are lost and originals restored the next time the un-saved Favorite Bank is selected.

Method 2

Turn power off then on again. Any changes not saved before turning off power will be lost.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Does using the Footswitch disable any features on the front panel?

ANSWER: No, any settings on the Footswitch that are repeated on the front panel can be changed using either the Footswitch or front panel buttons.

2. Can I use a different Footswitch with this amp, or use a different amp with this footswitch?

ANSWER: No. The KAC-FSWAV Footswitch supplied with your amp is the only one compatible. Do not use the KAC-FSWAV Footswitch on other third party amplifiers even if the CAT5 cable fits the Footswitch jack. Use only with Kustom WAV ® series amps.

3. How are the line outputs different from the preamp output on the rear panel?

ANSWER: The Line outputs signal is taken from the power amp speaker outputs and attenuated 30 db so it can be used with powered speakers and monitors to give an accurate reproduction of the sound from the internal speakers. These jacks cannot be used with an effects loop because it is after the power amp in.

The Preamp outputs are before the power amp inputs.

These are best to use with third party signal processors or effects.

4. There is a low frequency hum in our PA when I connect the line level outputs to it. Any suggestions?

ANSWER: What you are most likely hearing is a ground loop hum. This happens when the AC outlets used by the PA and WAV ® 212 are on two different circuits. One way to correct this is to plug the WAV ®

212 into the same AC circuit as the PA. On larger

PAs, several AC circuits may be used or the outlets on the same circuit are too far away to be practical.

In this situation, a direct box will be needed (two if

Stereo) to convert the un-balanced line outputs on the

WAV ® 212 to balanced line outputs. If the direct box has a ground lift switch, be sure it’s in the “lifted” position. To prevent an electrical hazard, DO NOT attempt to correct the ground loop problem by lifting or removing the AC ground pin on the power cord.

5. Why don’t you have external speakers jacks on the amp?

ANSWER: The solid state power amp circuits are specially designed to deliver optimum performance to the internal Celestion speakers. Adding external speakers would compromise this match.

6.

I want to use digital effects on the lead channel and lead boost, but not on the rhythm channel. Is there a way to do this without having to press the effects button every time I switch between lead and rhythm channels?

ANSWER: Yes, select the rhythm channel and the

Favorites Bank you want to store the setting in.

Select “bypass” in all 3 groups for the effects to use.

Press the “Save” button. Now select the Lead channel and set the 3 effect groups for desired sound and press “Save”. Now press the Lead channel

“Boost on” button and set the 3 effect groups for desired sound and press Save again.

7. I get different effects when switching channels. Is there something wrong?

ANSWER: No. One of the features of the effects is having the presets track the channels when switched.

This is especially useful when playing live by allowing the musician to spend more time performing and less time changing amplifier and effect settings.

8. On the display, what causes an effects group to have a blank level display?

ANSWER: If an effects group is bypassed, the level is blank because there is nothing to adjust.

9.

The amplifier has a mono input, so how does the amp have a stereo output?

ANSWER: The preamp is in mono up to the digital effects. The digital effects processor has a mono input with a stereo output. Both speakers will produce the same sound when the effects are not active or all three groups are bypassed.

10.

I understand the Effect Group button that is illuminated can be controlled by the Level without pressing the button first. On some of my

Presets, I usually need to just adjust the Reverb.

Can I set this as my default for these presets so I don’t have to press the Reverb before adjusting the level ?

button first

ANSWER: Yes, and it’s a simple thing to do. Go to the preset you want (Ex: Favorites 1 Rhythm), press the Reverb Group Button, then press the Save

Button. All of your setting are the same except now the Reverb Group will be the selected Effect Group for that preset.
