POWER-UP
When the amp is turned on, the default channel (LO) is selected, all other functions are off, as is the STORE
LED. After half a second, the channel and other functions will be selected as per the toggle switch settings, and the STORE LED
will illuminate briefly.
MESA FTSW
NOTE: DO NOT connect any Midi devices to the Midi INPUT jack when using the MESA FT.SW. jack!
MESA FT.SW.: 6-pin female DIN jack accepts a male DIN cable, connect the Footswitch here.
When a TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch is first connected, the amp’s STORE LED and all of the Footswitch LEDs will illuminate briefly.
When a button on the TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch is pressed, the STORE LED will flash quickly, indicating a button has been pressed.
CONTROLLING MULTIPLE TRIPLE CROWNs: Controlling multiple amps with a single TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch is easily ac-
complished by connecting the TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch to the MESA FT.SW. jack on one amp, and connecting the Midi THRU/
OUT from this amp to the Midi INPUT on a second amp. For a third amp, connect the Midi THRU/OUT from the second amp to the
Midi INPUT on the third amp, and so on…
When controlling multiple amps as indicated above, only the amp with the TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch connected should be set for
Midi Channel 1, all the other amps should be set to any other Midi Channel. Additionally, the Front Panel toggle switches should be
positioned identically, from one amp to another.
MIDI INPUT
NOTE: DO NOT connect a TRIPLE CROWN Footswitch to the MESA FT.SW. jack when using the Midi INPUT jack!
Midi INPUT: Standard 5-pin Midi DIN jack. Connect a Midi Footcontroller output or the Midi OUTPUT of another device to send Midi
commands to the amp, here. Phantom power for a Midi Footcontroller or any other device is not provided.
MIDI THRU/OUT
Midi THRU/OUT: Standard 5-pin Midi DIN jack. Any Midi commands received at the Midi INPUT are passed
through this jack, unchanged, and can be sent to other Midi devices. It also acts as a Midi OUTPUT when sending a User Preset
Dump.
