Connect the supplied power cord in compliance with the Important Safety Instructions on 3. Turn MASTER level to minimum (1). Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack, then switch POWER on. While playing guitar, adjust the TRIM level so that the green LEDS are on most of the time and the red LED flashes occasionally at peak playing levels. Set MASTER to desired level. 3 4 6) 5 6 Rotate the DATA WHEEL to explore Amp Design presets. Amp settings and internal circuitry will change automatically! (You will hear the presets change instantly, before the motorized knobs "catch up.") NOTE: You can interrupt the motorized rotation of a knob simply by grabbing it and turning it. 7) Turn to page 8 for an overview of the basic operation of your Cyber­Twin SETM. Note on the Cyber­Twin SETM pr esets Custom Shop presets were created by various players fluent in the corresponding musical styles. The appropriate model of guitar was used wherever possible, ala Jimi with a maple-necked Stratocaster®. Consequently, some presets may seem to be more "trebly" or "bassy" than you would prefer, or seem louder or quieter than some of the other presets. This is natural, because if person "A" plays a Telecaster® in a tiled room, and person "B" uses a Jazz guitar in a carpeted room, they will achieve very different end results. You can easily move the knob settings and store your changes if desired. Most of our Cyber-presets are designed to let the unique character of your instrument and playing style come through. That's why thousands of pros and hobbyists alike have added the Cyber-Twin® SE to their tone toolbox!

Brought to you by the same Tone­team that created the original Cyber­TwinTM amplifier, the Cyber-Twin ® SE (Second Edition) is refined and updated with additional amp designs and effects. Cyber­Series amplifiers are endowed with Fender's exclusive Virtual Tone InterpolationTM technology (patent number 6,222,110). VTITM technology enables the Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier to be different amplifiers according to circuit design. Starting with a virtual circuit board, the Cyber-Twin ® SE amplifier "rewires" its fundamental architecture (tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc.) to become the essence of all the amplifier greats -- Fender's BlackfaceTM, Dyna­TouchTM, Tweed and Modern amps, and even the best of the British amps! The Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier allows you to be the amp designer. Start with one of 150 permanent amp and effect setups stored within the Cyber-Twin ® SE amp--twist some knobs, make some changes, then SAVE to one of the 100 rewritable preset locations reserved onboard for your original amplifier designs. MIDI implementation on the Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier enables you to transfer presets to and from the amp for backup to a PC, or for exchange with other Cyber-Twin ® SE amplifier players. The Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier also puts a huge array of studio­quality effects at your command: Reverb, Modulation and Delay effects, enough to satisfy most any sonic appetite. And many are in stereo, so you can use the line outputs or headphones to enjoy a fully ambient stereo dimension. The Cyber-Twin® SE amplifier's Dyna­TouchTM power amp circuitry and Celestion ® speakers deliver powerful, responsive Tone to you and your audience.
