Turning on the Power
 
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to 
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on 
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction 
and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
 
* If using the ME-50B with a CD or MD player, be sure to turn 
on the power to the connected device first.

* Turn up the volume on amps and other equipment only after 
all connections are completed and the power for connected 
devices is turned on.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval 
(several seconds) after power up is required before the unit will 
operate normally.
 
Adjusting the Volume
 
Adjust the ME-50B’s volume with the MASTER LEVEL knob.

* Raising the MASTER LEVEL knob too much may result in 
sound distortion.
* When the effects are all off, input and output are at the same 
levels as when the MASTER LEVEL knob is at the center 
position.
* The setting of the MASTER LEVEL knob is stored in memory 
 
If There Is No Sound/If the Volume is Low
 
 
Are connections to other devices correctly made?
 
Check the connections once more.
 
 
Is the volume turned down?
 
Check the volume levels on any connected amp or mixer.
 
 
Can you hear sound through the headphones when 
headphones are connected?
 
If you can hear sounds, it may be that there is a short in 
the cable used to connect the amp or other device, or 
perhaps a mistake in an external device’s settings. Check 
the connecting cables and external devices once more.
 
 
Has the level been lowered with the expression pedal?
Sounds are not output when the toe of the expression 
pedal is in the raised position while the pedal is set to 
function as a volume pedal (p. 18).
In Tuner mode, the bypass sound is output, and the 
expression pedal is used as a volume pedal.
When the expression pedal is used as a volume pedal, 
sound output falls as you pull the pedal back, raising the 
front of the pedal (p. 18).
● Is a cable containing a resistor being used to connect a 
CD or MD player to the AUX IN jack?
Using a cable containing a resistor may prevent sound 
from CD and MD players from being audible.
Turning Off the Power
1. Turn down the volume of the ME-50B and any 
connected device.
2. Turn off the power to Bass Amp / Stereo, Multitrack 
Recorder, etc.
3. Turn the ME-50B’s power off.
