Using the SOUND on SOUND
Recording and Playback
Before you start recording, you can add the following features, if desired.
• Applying the unitʹs effects to the input sound (see page 22).
• Using the built‐in rhythm machine (see page 23).
• Recording in MBQ (in measures) Time mode (see page 32).
Selecting an input source
This section explains how to record an electric guitar that is connected to
the GUITAR IN jack.
1. Connect your electric guitar to the GUITAR IN jack.
Do not connect anything to the LINE or MIC jack.
About input source detection
The SOUND on SOUND automatically scans to determine whether or
not the GUITAR IN, LINE and MIC jacks are connected. If the unit
detects a connected jack, it will automatically assign the jack as the
input source. Therefore, do not connect anything to jacks other than
the one you want to use for audio input. If multiple jacks are connected
to external devices, the unit will select a jack according to the following
input priority list. If no jacks are connected, the unit will automatically
select the built‐in microphone as the input source.

Before you use a Plug‐In‐Power microphone,
you must set the corresponding parameters
(see page 30).
2. Press the Record button to enter Record Ready
mode. The Record LED indicator will flash.
3. Press the + or ‐ button to adjust the input level.
You can also use the touch slider displayed on the
LCD to adjust the level.
The recording level is appropriate if the level meter stays around "‐6"
and the Clip LED indicators do not light up when loud audio is input.
