How to Use This Manual 
 
This manual is divided into the following sections describing 
the various functions and applications for the AcoustiFX.  
While it’s a good idea to read through the entire manual once 
carefully, if you already have general knowledge about effects, 
you should use the table of contents to look up specific 
functions. 
 
Chapter 3: Getting Started shows you how to get the unit 
connected and turned on. We’ve included a hookup diagram 
and some tips on using the AcoustiFX. 
 
Chapter 4: A Tour of the AcoustiFX describes all the controls 
and features of the unit. This chapter features diagrams of the 
top and rear panels that are labeled with the name and a brief 
overview of each function. The paragraphs that follow the 
diagrams provide in-depth description of these features. 
 
Chapters 5 through 9 include step-by-step instructions for using 
the AcoustiFX, including how to select and edit programs, 
use the tuner function, store and copy programs, and defer 
program changes. 
 
Chapter 10: Effects Knob Settings explains the unit’s effect 
modules and types, as well as other settings controlled by the 
EFFECT and VALUE knobs.

most issues can be resolved simply and quickly. 
 
Chapter 12: Specifications is full of information for the more 
technical users. 
 
Chapter 13: Warranty/Contact Alesis explains the warranty we 
supply with the AcoustiFX and lets you know the best way to 
reach us if you have any questions or comments.

will appear with some 
explanatory text.  This 
symbol indicates that 
this information is vital 
when operating the
