Flexible Output ModeTM The CF-7 has two Flexible Output ModesTM: Mono/Stereo Amp - A mono signal (OUT 1 only) sent to one guitar amp, or a stereo signal (OUT 1 and OUT 2) sent to two amplifiers. Mono/Stereo Mixer - A mono signal (OUT 1 only) sent to a single mixer channel, or a stereo signal (OUT 1 and OUT 2) sent to two channels of a mixer. When the Chorus FactoryTM is shipped from the factory, the default mode is Mono/Stereo Amp.
Cabinet Modeling (CITTM) The CF-7 has built-in CIT™ cabinet modeling that can be enabled. This is a useful tool when running a distortion pedal into the CF-7 and then running direct into a mixer or recorder. This creates a guitar-through-anamplifier sound without having to use a guitar amp. To Enable CIT™ Cabinet Modeling: Press the pedal down and apply power (connect a guitar cable to the CF-7 input or connect a PS200R power supply to the power supply jack).
