Quick Start Owner's Manual (English) Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Alesis X Guitar. The X Guitar is a high- performance guitar that includes both a traditional three-pickup system and an advanced, built-in stereo multieffects processor. Here are some of its important highlights: . A fully-featured electric guitar in the most popular style of all time. . A built-in multi-effects unit with dozens of guitar-optimized effects like distortion, compression, cabinet modeling, delay, wah, phase shifting, and reverb. . A tuner that intelligently mutes the guitar. . Built-in knobs and buttons for fine control over the effects. . An input jack for an optional expression pedal, allowing for even greater real-time control over the effects. . The output jack works with headphones, so you can play in private, in stereo. . To preserve battery life, plug in an optional 9-volt power adapter. . You can turn the effects off completely to use the instrument as a traditional electric guitar.

First Things First: Installing the Batteries With no batteries, the X Guitar operates like a traditional electric guitar. However, to use the X Guitar’s built-in effects and tuner, you need to install four AA batteries (or use an optional 9 volt adapter). Batteries are included in your X Guitar package. To install the batteries, flip the guitar over and open the battery compartment on the back. As with all battery-powered devices, don’t mix and match new and partially used batteries, remove the batteries if you don’t intend to play the X Guitar for a month or more, and keep the X Guitar out of extreme heat or cold. You can expect about 30 hours of normal use with Alkaline batteries. Note that the batteries continue to drain even if you’re not playing the X Guitar, so be sure to turn the guitar off (see instructions below) when you’re done using it. (Frugal or forgetful people may want to invest in a set of rechargeable batteries, which work very well in the X Guitar.) If you use a 9-volt adapter, the batteries will be bypassed. Front Controls The front of the guitar combines traditional controls with two special switches for the built- in effects. 1. Pickup Selector Switch – The five-position switch selects one of the following pickup combinations: 1-Bridge only. 2-Bridge + Middle. 3-Middle only. 4-Middle + Neck. 5-Neck only. All three pickups are humbucking models, which greatly reduce noise relative to nonhumbucking pickups. The bridge-position pickup has the traditional side-by-side humbucker configuration. The middle- and neck-position pickups use a “stacked single- coil” configuration. 2. Volume Knob - This knob attenuates (lowers) the output from the X Guitar’s pickups. It is independent of the effects and acts before them. 3. Program Up/Down Switch – Increment or decrement the effect program using this switch. 4. Effects On/Off Switch – Flip this to the upward position to turn on the effects. Be sure to turn it off after playing to conserve the batteries. 5. Output Jack – For stereo output, plug a TRS cable into this jack to connect the guitar to a mixer or recording device. (You may need to use “Y” cables or a special breakout cord.) Plug in a TS (mono) cable to connect to a guitar amplifier. Plug in a pair of headphones for private performance. Bottom Jacks 1. Expression Pedal Input – Plug in an optional expression pedal to control one of the effects within the multi-effects processor. 2. AC Adapter Jack – Plug in an optional AC adapter using this outlet. Effect Processor Controls Use the controls on the top of the X Guitar to operate the built-in effects. 1. Display – In PLAY mode, the display shows the bank letter (A-H) on the left and the bank’s program number (0-9) on the right. A small dot on the lower right hand side indicates that you’ve edited a program. Another small dot in the bottom middle of the display is dedicated to indicating sharp notes when the tuner is activated. 2. Program Up/Downbuttons – Use these buttons to access different programs. Press them both together to mute the guitar and use the built-in tuner. 3. Effect Knob – In Play mode, pressing the PROGRAM UP/DOWN buttons or turning the VALUE knob cycles accesses different programs. Turning the EFFECT knob to any other position allows you to edit ...
