Also, try to position the unit so no buttons or controls can get damaged. • When turning the unit over, handle it with care to avoid dropping it or allowing it to fall or tip over. • Make sure the “+” and “-” ends of the batteries are oriented correctly. • Use six AA-type dry cells when replacing the batteries. • Avoid using new and used batteries together or combinations of different types of batteries. Doing so may result in fluid leakage. • Batteries are supplied with the unit. Since the primary purpose of these batteries is to confirm operation of the unit, their battery life may be limited. Continuous usage time under battery power is about 13 hours with alkaline batteries and about 3.5 hours with manganese batteries. (This may vary according to usage conditions.) 12 Connections fig.ME-20B-connect-e.eps_70 * When using an AC adaptor, be sure to use only the specified type (PSA series). Using an adaptor other than the specified type may cause malfunction. * To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume and turn off the power to all devices before making any connections. * The INPUT jack doubles as a power switch. Inserting a plug in the INPUT jack turns on the power; the power is switched off when the plug is disconnected. Be sure to unplug the cable from this jack when the ME-20B is not in use. * Some connection cables contain resistors. When connection cables with resistors are used, the sound level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable. * When you’re using a single bass amp, connect it to the L/MONO jack. For more information about connecting a footswitch pedal to the footswitch jack, refer to “Using Footswitch Pedals” (p. 27). Footswitch (FS-6, etc.) Phones Jack CD/MP3 player Bass Bass Amp Stereo Headphones AC adaptor (PSA series) Connections Connections Turning On the Power 1. Completely turn down the volume on all devices and connect the external devices. * Don’t insert the plug into the INPUT jack yet. 2. Insert the plug into the INPUT jack. * Inserting a plug into the INPUT jack switches on the power. 3. Turn on the power to the CD or MP3 player or other input device. 4. Lastly, turn on the power to the bass amp or other output device. 5. Following this, adjust the volume of each device. * This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power- up is required before the unit will operate normally. Turning Off the Power 1. Completely turn down the volume of all devices. 2. First, turn off the power to the bass amp and other output devices. 3. Turn off the power to the CD or MP3 player or other input device. 4. Pull out the plug from the INPUT jack. * Disconnecting the plug from the INPUT jack switches off the power. Tuning the Bass (Bypass/Tuner) Tuning the Bass (Bypass/Tuner) 1 27 1. Press the Number 1 and 2 pedals simultaneously to switch to Tuner mode. The tuner appears in the display, and any deviation from the pitch is indicated by the Tuning guide. Tuning guide 2. If necessary, you can change the reference pitch. Press [ ] [ ] and the current reference pitch is indicated in the display for a brief length of time. By continuing with this operation, you can change the reference pitch, in one Hertz units, to any value from 435 Hz to 445 Hz. The setting is saved automatically, so there is no need to make this setting each time you tune. * The reference pitch was set to 440 Hz (Display: 40) when the unit was shipped from the factory. Display 35–45 Pitch (Hz) 435–445 3. Play a single note on the string to be tuned; play the string open. The name of the note closest to the pitch of the string played appears in the display. * Use your hand or other means to mute the other strings. You may be unable to tune the string accurately if other strings are vibrating during tuning.

Tune each string more accurately until both of the tuning guides are lit. * The larger the difference between the pitch of the string you’re playing and the correct pitch for the note shown in the display, the faster the tuning guide flashes. As you get closer to the correct pitch, the pace of the tuning guide’s flashing slows down. Too high Tuned Too low 6. Repeat Steps 3–5 to tune the other strings. One useful technique that makes tuning less confusing is to start slightly under the target pitch and then tune upwards little by little until the string is in tune. 7. Press the Number 1 and 2 pedals simultaneously to return to the previous mode. You can also return to the previous mode by pressing [EDIT/EXIT]. Introduction to Effects and Paramet...
