Channel 1 & 2 Controls
Channel 1 and 2 are for use with microphones, guitars, keyboards, 
or other instruments. Channel 1 and 2 will automatically detect a 
source input level to adjust volume taper and gain stage.

Button until the LED for your chosen preset is illuminated. 
Use MIC for microphones and use INST for acoustic guitars 
and other instruments. Use OFF if you do not want to apply a
