Tutorial
This section takes you through step-by-step explanations of how to make
connections to your amp, create sounds, save or reset the sounds you've
created, and use rhythm patterns. Once you've followed along with these
explanations, you'll understand nearly all of the operations of the MIMX.
The illustrations appearing here are taken from the control panel of the
MIMX 150H.
1. Connections
1)-a Carefully read the cautions for use, and then set up your amp. Next
use the included power cable to connect the rear panel
an electrical outlet.
Note: The sound (particularly the low-frequency response) of the amp
will change according to the location and conditions in which you set up
the amp.
1)-b If you're using the MIMX 150H, connect
4Ω input jack of your speaker cabinet. Use a speaker cable to make this
connection. On Ibanez IS series speaker cabinets, there are two input
jacks. Use the one marked MONO 4Ω.
2) Connect your electric guitar to
make the connections.
3) If you're using a compact effect device, use a shielded cable to con-
nect it between your guitar and amp.
4) Make sure that
MASTER volume is set to 0, and turn on the
10
POWER switch. The startup animation will appear, and the amp is ready
to use.
Note: When you're finished using the amp, make sure that
volume is set to 0 and then turn off the
G If you're using the IFC2
By connecting the optional IFC2 (Sold separately), you can access the
additional five pedal effects. For details on making connections, refer to
the IFC2 operating manual.

2. Creating your sound
Let's get started creating some sounds. In this example, we're going to
use the number 11 drive pattern PSYCHO.
1) In the
Memory section, click the MANUAL switch.

This selects manual mode, where all sound settings will be ac-
cording to the actual position of the controls.
2) Raise the
MASTER volume to a position between 8 o'clock
10
and 12 o'clock.
Set the
Preamp section as follows.

This will produce a very tight distortion sound. Now let's add some ef-
fects.
4) First we'll add the
tings.
FX TYPE&PARAMETER:FLANGER 15
FX MIX LEVEL
TAP TEMPO
*The above illustra-
tion shows the
MIMX 150H.
5) Next we will add the
11
settings.
FX TYPE&PARAMETER:REVERB HL 10
FX MIX LEVEL
TAP TEMPO
*The above illustra-
tion shows the
MIMX 150H.
You'll notice that the sound has become more spacious. Now go ahead
and try creating your own sounds in the same way. Next we will learn
how to save a sound you've created.
Note: This amp is capable
of producing extremely loud
volumes. Please set the
MASTER volume in a way
that will not inconvenience
other people nearby.
