Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the BOSS FDR-1 Deluxe Reverb.

“IMPORTANT NOTES” (supplied on a separate sheet). These sections provide important in-

formation concerning the proper operation of the unit.

Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good understanding of every fea-

ture provided by your new unit, this manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should

About COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)

Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for short—is Roland’s innovative and pow-

erful technology that’s used to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical instruments and

effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original sound—including its elec-

trical and physical characteristics—and creates a digital model that accurately reproduces the

original.

A battery is supplied with the unit. The life of this battery may be limited, however, since

its primary purpose is to enable testing.

About the Fender® DELUXE REVERB®

fig.DeluxeReverb.eps

The DELUXE REVERB®amp was announced in 1963. It’s medium

wattage and pure tone made it a top choice throughout the ’60s,

’70s and ’80s, for use in recording sessions and live performances

in a full range of genres, from surf music, blues, and country to jazz,

soul, and even hard rock.

In addition to its characteristic clean and crisp tones, at high vol-

ume levels the amp delivers a lustrous overdrive sound that could

only come from the DELUXE REVERB®.

Among the several members of the series, the 1965 model is espe-

cially acclaimed and has captured the hearts of many guitarists.

Reissued in 1994, the DELUXE REVERB®is truly one of Fender’s

finest amps and a perennial best-seller to this day.

Panel Descriptions

1. AC Adaptor Jack

This jack accepts the connection of an AC

adaptor (optionally available BOSS PSA-se-

ries). By using an AC adaptor, you can play

without being concerned about how much

battery power you have left.

* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-

series), and make sure the line voltage at the

installation matches the input voltage specified

on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors

may use a different polarity, or be designed for

a different voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

* If the AC adaptor is connected while power is

on, the power supply is drawn from the AC

adaptor.

* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC

adaptor is being used, the FDR-1 will switch

over to battery-powered operation should the

line voltage be interrupted due to a power

blackout or power cord disconnection.

2. CHECK Indicator

This indicator shows whether the effect is on

or off, and also doubles as the battery check

indicator. The indicator lights when the ef-

fect is on.

* If you’re powering the unit with a battery

and the CHECK indicator goes dim—or

doesn’t light at all—when you try to turn the

effect on, the battery is near depletion and

should be replaced. For instructions on

changing the battery, refer to “Changing the

Battery” (p. 14).

* The CHECK indicator shows whether the

effect is being applied or not. It does not

indicate whether the power to the device is on

or not.

3. OUTPUT Jack

This output jack is used for connecting to

guitar amps and other effects processors.

4. Pedal Switch

This switch turns the effect on/off.

5. Thumbscrew

When this screw is loosened, the pedal will

open, allowing you to change the battery.

For instructions on changing the battery, re-

fer to “Changing the Battery” (p. 14).

6. INPUT Jack

These jacks are for connecting the output

from an electric guitar or other instrument or

effects device.

* These jacks double as power switch. Power to

the FDR-1 is turned on when you plug into

the INPUT jack; the power is turned off when

the cable is unplugged. When not using the

FDR-1, be sure to disconnect the plug from

the INPUT jack.

7. GAIN Knob

This adjusts the amount of distortion and the

volume level. Turning it clockwise makes

distortion stronger and increases the volume

level.

8. LEVEL Knob

This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

* No sound is output when this knob is turned

completely counterclockwise.

9. TREBLE Knob

This knob controls the tone of the effect at

higher frequencies.

10. BASS Knob

This knob controls the tone of the effect at

lower frequencies.

11. REVERB Knob

This adjusts the amount of reverb effect that

is applied.

12. VIBRATO Knob

This adjusts the amount of vibrato effect (cy-

clical fluctuations in volume) that is applied.

Turning it clockwise makes the effect more

intense.

Turning the VIBRATO knob while depress-

ing the pedal switch changes the vibrato rate

(RATE setting mode).

Turning it clockwise increases the rate.

Connections

* Inserting a connecting plug into the INPUT jack

turns on the power to the unit.

* Raise the amp volume only after turning on the

power to all connected devices.

* The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the

unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should

you prefer to use a battery, please use the alkaline

type.

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers

or other devices, always turn down the volume, and

turn off the power on all devices before making any

connections.

* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC adaptor

is being used, normal operation will continue

should the line voltage be interrupted due to power

blackout or power cord disconnection.

* Some connection cables contain resistors. When

connection cables with resistors are used, the sound

level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear.

For information on cable specifications, contact the

manufacturer of the cable.

* 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.

When powering up:

Turn on the power to your guitar amp last.

When powering down:

Turn off the power to your guitar amp first.

* Always make sure to have the volume level turned

down before switching on power. Even with the

volume all the way down, you may still hear some

sound when the power is switched on, but this is

normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.

* When operating on battery power only, the CHECK

indicator will become dim when battery power gets

too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
