Section One – Introduction

Getting Acquainted

Congratulations on your purchase of the FM Jam TX3! The TX3 offers you not

only an incredible combination of awesome guitar tones, but also the means to

take those incredible sounds with you wherever you roam: the studio, the stage,

the beach – even the parking lot on your lunch break!

The impressive collection of both vintage and modern amps and effects we've

modeled –and the ease with which the TX3 lets you combine or alter them –

gives you the freedom to easily create your own unique, signature tone, or to re-

create the classic sounds of your favorite guitar hero.

The TX3 is a new kind of "guitar amp and effects processor." Now you've got all

the classic guitar tones you could ever want in a device that works for you in

every possible scenario: with an amp, through headphones, or even transmitting

right through your boom box, home sound system, or car stereo.

Enjoy!

Included Items

Before you get started, please make sure that the following items have been

included:

• FM Jam TX3

• Quick Start Guide

Basic Operation of the FM Jam TX3

There are four basic modes of operation for the TX3: Performance Mode, Edit

Mode, Tuner Mode, and Bypass Mode. This section of the owner's manual gives

you a brief description of each mode and how to access that mode. More

detailed information about each mode is given elsewhere in this manual.

Performance Mode

To turn on the TX3, simply plug a -inch guitar cable into the TX3 input marked

"Guitar."

The unit will power up in Performance Mode. Performance Mode provides access

to all of the preset amp/effect sounds within the TX3 via the left and right bean

buttons. The TX3 powers up to preset 1 by default. You can then scroll through

the factory- and user-defined presets using the left and right bean buttons. With

your TX3 transmitting to an FM receiver, or plugged directly into a guitar

amplifier or other audio device (headphones, home stereo, PA system, etc.),

you're now ready to start jammin'!

Edit Mode

Press either the left or right wing button to enter Edit Mode. To exit Edit Mode

and return to Performance Mode, simply press either the left or right bean

button again.

Once in Edit Mode you can make changes and adjustments to any of the

parameters of the effects or amp settings for the factory- and/or user-defined

presets. From Edit Mode you'll be able to save these new settings, or exit Edit

Mode without saving the changes, so feel free to experiment and customize your

sound!

We'll discuss making and saving changes in more detail in Section Three – Edit

Mode, later in this owner's manual. The TX3 also has a function to return the

unit to its original default factory presets – which we'll discuss in Section Four –

Other Functions. Don't be afraid to try new sounds, you can always return the

unit to its original settings.

Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the TX3 allows you to quickly check the tuning on your guitar (or

other instrument plugged into the TX3 through the -inch input jack labeled

"Guitar").

Enter Tuner mode by simultaneously pressing and holding both the left and right

bean buttons for three (3) seconds, or until the main LED display reads “tu.”

(The display will briefly read "by," for bypass mode. Keep holding the buttons

and the display will then change to "tu.") You are now in tuner mode.

We'll discuss using the TX3's built-in tuner in more detail later in this owner's

manual, in Section Four – Other Functions, "Tuner Mode."

To exit tuner mode and return to Performance Mode, simply press either the left

or right bean button until you see the main LED display indicate that the TX3 is

now on amp/effect preset "1."

Bypass Mode

Bypass Mode allows you to completely bypass all amp and effect processing.

Press the left and right bean buttons simultaneously for one second to enter

bypass mode. When in Bypass Mode the main LED display will show "by" for

Bypass.

We'll discuss Bypass Mode in more detail later in this owner's manual, in Section

Four – Other Functions, "Bypass Mode."

To exit Bypass Mode, simply press either the left, right, up, or down bean

buttons and you'll return to Performance Mode.

A Guided Tour of the FM Jam TX3

The TX3 was designed for a short learning curve. The large LED display and

oversized buttons make operating the unit easy. You'll be jamming with this

awesome device in minutes!

The Buttons

• The four large bean shaped buttons control up and down and left and right

navigation through the TX3's menu screens, as you would expect. When the unit

is on, pressing either of the left or right bean buttons scrolls through presets

0 to 99.

• Pressing the up or down bean buttons is usually reserved for the function of

editing tones and effects settings.

• These settings are initially accessed via the left and right wing shaped

buttons, which are found immediately below the LED screen. In other words, if

you want to edit an amp tone or effects setting, you'll first press one of the wing

buttons to choose which effect you want to edit, then you'll press either the up

or down bean button to change the settings of that effect. We'll explain how to

make changes such as these in more detail in another section of this manual.
