Quick Setup
1. Make sure all items listed on
the front of this guide are in the
Playmate Guitarist's box.
2. Read the Important Safety
Instructions.
3. Study the Hookup Diagram
above. Refer to the next section
for details on which cables to
use.
4. Make sure all devices and
instruments are turned off and
all gain knobs are set to zero.
5. Connect your guitar to the 1/4"
GUITAR IN input located on the
rear of the Playmate Guitarist.
6. For maximum control over the
built-in effects, connect an
optional expression pedal to the
1/4" EXPRESSION input.
7. Connect your headphones to
one of the PHONES jacks. You
may connect two sets of
headphones.
8. To output the signal to a PA
amplifier, mixer or other
equipment, connect the
Playmate Guitarist's Left and
Right OUTPUT jacks to the
inputs of the device using 1/4"
TRS plugs. To connect to your
stereo, you will need to buy
1/4"-to-RCA plug converters.
9. Turn on the Playmate Guitarist
first, followed by the other
equipment. Turn on any
amplifiers last to avoid any
sudden "pops" that could
damage speakers.
10. When finished, turn off external
amplifiers first—before turning
off or disconnecting the
Playmate Guitarist—to prevent
damage to speakers.
11. Go to http://www.alesis.com to
