Mesa/Boogie Express Plus User Manual

FUSE:
This is the main AC fuse that protects your amplifier from damage should a tube ever fail or you receive a surge from the
AC wall socket. Always replace the fuse with the same type and rating to avoid damage to your amplifier. Failure to do so will likely
cause damage and void your warranty. Both Express Plus models use a Slo-Blo type fuse.
Express 5:25+ = 1 AMP Slo-Blo Fuse
Express 5:50+ = 3 AMP Slo-Blo Fuse
FTSW (Footswitch):
This 8 pin female DIN jack accepts the Express Plus Footswitch. It is NOT a standard 5-pin midi cable
and if you lose your cable, it will be a special order for any music store and therefore more easily obtained through your local MESA
dealer or through us directly. It is a standard 8 pin DIN cable and you might be able to find it through some electronics
supply houses or computer parts retailers as well.
Make sure the cable is securely seated all the way into the jack when setting up you amplifier.
It’s always advisable to carry the Footswitch and cable in either the pouch provided - or in a separate gig bag rather than
tossing them in the back of your combo cabinet. Loose articles floating around in the back of your amp can damage
both tubes and speakers during transport. Don’t arrive at the gig with your amp damaged from the Footswitch or cable because you
were in a hurry and didn’t pack it properly
EXTERNAL SWITCHING:
These four ¼ “ jacks trigger the SOLO, CHANNEL, EQ and REVERB feature of each Channel when
you want to control your Express Plus with a master external switcher. In this way you can call up the sounds on your Express Plus
remotely without connecting the Footswitch and have your effects and amp sounds respond to a single button
(possibly midi) program change command.
Simply connect standard unshielded (speaker) ¼” phone cables to these four jacks and short the “tip” to “ground”
to activate the features. This standard tip-to-ground “latching type” logic is supported on most all master switching
devices, so all you will have to do is program what ports on your switcher will be grounded under which programs.
