If you set the stand at an angle on a slope, it
may fall over.
Do not apply an excessive load such as by
leaning against the amplier.
Auto Power Off Function

amplier is not used or when the sound is not output for approximately
one hour. When the power is turned off, it’s not restored even if a knob or
selector is used. Turn on the power again.
The Auto Power Off function does not work during rhythm playback or looper
operation (during recording, playback, or overdubbing).
If the volume or variation of the output sound is extremely small, the Auto
Power Off function may be activated. Also, depending on the settings and
environment, the Auto Power Off function may not be activated due to noise
even if you are not playing.
Setting the Auto Power Off function to enable or disable
1. Press and hold down the TEMPO button (16) and turn on the power.

Selecting a rhythm pattern
1. Select a genre for each rhythm pattern using the GENRE selector (14).
2. Select a variation for each rhythm pattern using the VARIATION button (15).
One of three VARIATION LEDs lights up green, orange or red in the following
sequence each time you press the button.
Variation 1 Variation 2Variation 3
Starting and stopping the playback of a rhythm pattern
Press the RHYTHM START/STOP button (18) to start or stop playing a
rhythm pattern. During playback, the VARIATIONS LED that corresponds
to the selected rhythm pattern will ash in sync with the tempo.
[TIP] The three VARIATION LEDs light up momentarily at the beginning of each bar.
Adjusting the volume of a rhythm pattern
Use the LEVEL knob (17) to adjust the volume of a rhythm pattern.
Changing the tempo of a rhythm pattern
You can adjust the rhythm tempo within the range of 40 to 240 BPM by
pressing the TEMPO button twice at the required interval.
[TIP] If you press the button several times in time with the song, it will help you set
the correct tempo.
[TIP] If you press the TEMPO button while playback is suspended, the VARIATION LED
will blink in time with the tempo (the rhythm will not be played back). If you
change the rhythm pattern or turn the RHYTHM LEVEL knob fully
counterclockwise, the blinking will stop.
Using the looper function (VOX MINI GO 10/50)
The looper function allows you to perform jam sessions
while looping phrases recorded using a guitar or
microphone, or play a performance in real time while
repeating overdubbing.
Basic usage of looper
1. Press the LOOP button (20) to enable record standby
mode. (The LOOP LED blinks red.)
2. Press the LOOP button again or start playing the guitar to
start recording. (The LOOP LED lights up red.)
The minimum recording time is approximately 0.25 seconds and the
maximum recording time is approximately 45 seconds.
The sound being input via the AUX IN jack or the rhythm pattern is not
recorded.
Depending on the equipment used or settings, recording may start due to
noise even if you are not playing.
3. Press the LOOP button to exit recording and play back the recorded
interval. (The LOOP LED lights up green.)
4. Press the LOOP button during playback to start overlap recording, or quickly
press the LOOP button twice to stop playback.
5. If you hold down the LOOP button during playback after overdubbing, the
overdubbing is undone (the overdubbed phrase is muted), and is redone
(the mute is released) when you press and hold the LOOP button again.
Pressing and holding the LOOP button while playback is suspended erases
recorded data.
6. If you press the LOOP button while playback is suspended, the recorded
phrase will be played back in a loop from the beginning. Also, if you press
and hold the LOOP button while playback is suspended, the recorded
phrase will be deleted (the phrase will be played back for a moment).

Synchronous operation of rhythm and looper
The looper function can be used together with the rhythm function.
Looper recording during rhythm playback (quantize)
If you record a looper during rhythm playback, the loop length is automatically adjusted
to match the rhythm beat or bar length when recording is stopped (quantize).
[TIP] The rhythm tempo is quantized to one beat, two beats, or a well-separated bar length.
If the genre is 3/5/7, the rhythm tempo is not quantized to two beats long.
[TIP] The relative position between the beginning of the rhythm and the beginning of
the looper is stored, and when simultaneous playback is performed, the rhythm
and looper are played back while the same relative position as Recording mode
is maintained (refer to "Simultaneous playback of rhythm and looper").
Rhythm playback during looper playback (Automatic tempo adjustment)
If the rhythm is played back during loop playback, the rhythm tempo is automatically
set based on the rhythm tempo before playback and the length of the recorded phrase.
[TIP] Calculate the tempo at which the looper's phrase length is one beat, two beats, or a
well-separated bar length. The number of bars is 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, or 48.
If the genre is 3/5/7, the rhythm is not set to a tempo that is two beats long
[TIP] When the looper is recorded and quantized during rhythm playback, the tempo
will not change even if you stop the rhythm and play it back again.
Simultaneous playback of rhythm and looper
When a looper has already been recorded and both the rhythm and the
looper are suspended, if you press both the RHYTHM button and the LOOP
button, the rhythm and looper start playback at the same time. If a looper is
recorded during rhythm playback, the rhythm and looper are played back
while the same relative position as Recording mode is maintained.
[TIP] The looper is always played from the beginning, and the rhythm is played from
the middle according to the relative position.
[TIP] The rhythm tempo is automatically adjusted even in the case of the
simultaneous playback.
If a looper is recorded while the rhythm is suspended, the relative position is cleared to 0.
If the rhythm tempo is changed, the relative positions of the rhythm and looper are cleared to 0.

Using the Tuner
The tuner function lets you tune a guitar that’s connected to the INPUT
jack. The tuner detects the pitch of the input sound, then indicates the
discrepancy from the standard pitch of E.
1. Press and hold down the VARIATION button for more than one second.
Effect 1 will be bypassed, and the tuner function will turn on.
All effects are bypassed.
(No valid signal is being input.)
2. Play the open 6th string.
Be careful not to touch any other strings.
3. Tune the guitar so that only the center green LED lights up, as shown on
the right.
The pitch is slightly sharp.
The pitch is sharp.
In tune.
The pitch is slightly at.
The pitch is at.
[TIP] The tuner recognizes the pitch of E in any octave.
This is useful if you want to tune to harmonics or tune other musical instruments,
such as a bass guitar.
[TIP] Once you tune the 6th string using the tuner function, tune the other strings in
reference to the 6th string.
4. Press the VARIATION button again or turn the EFFECTS knob 1 to
switch the type of Effect 1; the tuner ends, and the bypass is released.
[TIP] In the VOX MINI GO 50, the tuner ends even if the program is switched.
User programs and Manual mode
(VOX MINI GO 50 only)
You can save the tones produced by adjusting the amplier or EFFECTS
knob as user programs A, B, and C. The saved programs can be easily
called using the PROGRAM button (21) or the foot switch.
The power select switch, TRIM, SEND, RHYTHM section, and LOOP section
settings cannot be saved in a program.
Each time you press the PROGRAM button, user programs A, B, and C
(green, orange, and red) and Manual mode (LED off) are called in
sequence. In Manual mode, all the knob positions are reected on
sounds as they are.
[TIP] The VOX MINI GO 3/10, which does not provide any user programs, is always in
Manual mode.
Saving a program (VOX MINI GO 50 only)
After adjusting the various knobs and buttons on the top panel to create
your desired sound, it can be saved (written) as a user program.
[TIP] The saved programs can be called using the PROGRAM button or the foot
switch.
1. Hold down the PROGRAM button (21) for at least one second (until the
PROGRAM LED starts blinking).
2. Press the PROGRAM button to select the save location.
[TIP] To cancel the write operation, press the TIME button (13).
3. Hold down the PROGRAM button for at least 2 seconds (until the LED
changes from blinking to lit). The program is saved at the selected
location, and the saved program is selected.
If you switch to another program or turn off the amp before saving the sound
that you are creating, the changes that you made will be lost.
