1 Quick Start Guide

If you can’t wait to get started

The Alesis Faze is a unique product, but its basic hookup and

operation is similar to other effects units in most respects. If

you're experienced with signal processors, this chapter is a

"shorthand" guide for those who want to start using the Faze right

away. If you have questions about any of the features, don’t worry

– later chapters will unveil the mysteries of the Faze's special

features.

Hook it up to a synthesizer

1. First, make sure the power is off to all the components

you’re connecting to: amp, mixer, and instruments.

2. Pull the Faze and its power supply out of the package.

3. Using a pair of 1/4” instrument cables, plug the outputs

of the synthesizer into the INPUTS on the back of the

Faze.

4. Connect the OUTPUTS of the Faze to the inputs of a

mixer, powered speakers, or instrument amplifier.

5. Insert the power jack of the Faze’s power adapter into

the POWER 9VAC input on the rear panel of the Faze

and plug the power adapter into an AC outlet

(preferably on a power strip with its switch off).

The Faze doesn’t have a POWER switch of its own. The

moment you plug in the power, its top panel LEDs will come on.

6. Turn the power on to the system: the keyboard, then

the Faze’s power strip (if it’s not already on), then the

mixer, then the amp.

7. Turn the INPUT TRIM knob on the back of the Faze

while playing the keyboard to adjust the input level. The

SIGNAL LED on the top panel will light green, not red,

when the level is correct.

8. Experiment with the knob and button settings on the

Faze to create different sounds.
