• Before using this unit, make sure to read the
instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.
......................................................................................................
• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or
its AC adaptor.
......................................................................................................
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace
parts within it (except when this manual pro-
vides specific instructions directing you to do
so). Refer all servicing to your dealer, or quali-
fied Roland service personnel.
......................................................................................................
• Never use or store the unit in places that are:
•Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct
sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heat-
ing duct, on top of heat-generating equip-
ment); or are
•Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
floors); or are
•Humid; or are
•Dusty; or are
•Subject to high levels of vibration.
......................................................................................................
• Make sure you always have the unit placed so
it is level and sure to remain stable. Never
place it on stands that could wobble, or on
inclined surfaces.
......................................................................................................
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied
with the unit. Also, 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.
......................................................................................................
• Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not bend

NOTES" (page 2; page 5). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation
of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature
providedbyyournewunit,thismanualshouldbereadinitsentirety.Themanualshouldbesavedandkept
on hand as a convenient reference.
Main Features Chorus and Reverb Customized Exclu-
sively for Acoustic Guitar
Since the unit is designed so signals are divided
into separate frequency ranges, Chorus can be
appliedindependentlytothebassandtrebleranges.
Moreover, the Reverb has been newly designed so
it is optimized for acoustic guitar sounds.
Additionally, you can use a footswitch connected
totheRemotejack toswitch Chorusand Reverbon
and off.
Anti-Feedback
An anti-feedback function is included, virtually
eliminating howling.
Balanced Output
Alsoprovidesbalancedoutput,makingitpossible
for you to connect directly to PA systems.
Insert Jack Offers Greater Sound Cre-
ation Possibilities
An insertion jack specifically for external effects is
included with the AD-5, allowing you to use it in
conjunction with other effects devices.
New “Acoustic” Function
The AD-5 offers newly-developed acoustic pro-
cessing that enhances the sound from electronic
sourcessuchasanelectric-acousticguitar’spickup.
The resulting sound has the full-bodied richness
and warmth of that traditionally captured by mi-
crophones placed near an acoustic guitar.
Handles Both Piezo and Magnetic Pickups
The unit comes with separate dedicated jacks for
input from piezoelectric and magnetic pickups.
With the AD-5, you can mix the input of both
pickups.
High-Performance Preamplifier
TheAD-5offersanonboardpreamplifierequipped
withafour-band(includinganultra-highfrequency
“presence”band) equalizer.
This equalization really comes in handy when you
need to adjust the tone of the sound produced by a
pickup that has no tone controls of its own.

LEVEL
Adjusts the preamp volume level. Turning the
knob clockwise increases the volume.
* IfthePEAKindicatorseemstolightratherfrequentlyeven
after adjusting the input level (page 8), lower this level.
BASS
Adjusts the low range. Turning the knob clock-
wise away from “0”increases the bass; turning
the knob counterclockwise decreases the bass
content.
MIDDLE
Adjusts the midrange. Turning the knob clock-
wise away from “0”causes the midrange to
becomemoreprevalent;turningtheknobcoun-
terclockwise decreases the midrange content.
TREBLE
Adjusts the high range. The more the knob is
moved clockwise away from “0,”the more
prevalent the upper range becomes; turning

PIEZO
Adjusts the volume of the PIEZO input.
MAGNETIC
Adjusts the volume of the MAGNETIC input.
(Phase Switch)
Selects the phase for the input from the MAG-
NETIC input jack. Use this to get the phase for
the input of both input jacks to work well to-
gether. Ordinarily, you will probably want to
keep it at NOR (Normal). However, if the tone
does not sound quite right when both inputs
are mixed—perhaps with a reduction in vol-
ume being experienced—try switching to INV
(Inverted).

10
ANTI-FEEDBACK
What anti-feedback does is reduce the howling
soundthatcan arise due to feedback between the
guitar and amplifier. The sound at frequencies
where howling occurs is compressed, thereby
suppressing the howl.
DEPTH
Adjusts the manner in which the anti-feedback
effect is applied. Turning the knob clockwise
suppresseshowlingmore;turningitcompletely
counterclockwise turns the effect off.
* Wheneversuchhowlingisnotaproblem,orattimessuch
as when using the AD-5 during recording, set this to the
“Off” position.
FREQ (Frequency)
Adjusts the frequency at which the anti-feed-
back effect is applied. Turning the knob clock-
wise raises this frequency.
When howling occurs, rotate the Depth knob
completely clockwise, adjust the Frequency
knobtofindtheposition thatreduces thehowl-
ing, then turn the Depth knob counterclock-
wise to the point just before howling again
begins to occur.

ACOUSTIC
Withthis feature,youcanchangethe soundfrom
a pickup on an electric-acoustic guitar into a
richersound, similar to that obtained by a micro-
phone placed near a guitar.
BODY
This simulates the characteristic resonance in-
side the body of an acoustic guitar. The nature
of this resonance changes according to the con-
trol setting position, so determine your own
preferred setting to match the guitar you use.
Turn the knob completely counterclockwise
turns the effect off.
MIC DISTANCE
This simulates the distance between the micro-
phonecapturingthesoundofanacousticguitar
and the guitar itself. Turning the control clock-
wise creates a sound obtained by placing the
microphone at a greater distance; turning it
completely counterclockwise turns the effect
off.

2x2 CHORUS
Chorus is an effect that gives sounds more of a
feeling of spaciousness, and makes them sound
fatter.
Thechorususedinthe AD-5 is a separated stereo
type for acoustic guitars. Chorus can be applied
to both bass and treble ranges, on both left and
right channels.
Turning the knob clockwise deepens the chorus
effect;turningitcompletelycounterclockwiseturns
the effect off. Additionally, by using a footswitch
connectedto the Remote jack, you can temporarily
turn the effect on or off (page 13). The Chorus
indicator lights up when chorus is on.

for example) that is reflecting the sound, and so
on.
With the AD-5, these elements are tailored to the
acoustic guitar and digitally processed to simu-
late these sounds.
Turning the knob clockwise deepens the reverb
