7 Playing Sounds ● Use a special cable (the optional PCS-31) to send output from the LINE/PHONES jack to equipment such as a mixer. Using an ordinary cable will cause only the left- channel sound to be output. fig.0030 Turning on the Power Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order specified.

15 Using the Effects DELAY fig.0170 This effect adds delayed sound to the direct sound, giving more body to the sound or creating special effects. DELAY pedal The Delay is switched on or off each time you press the pedal. When switched on, the DELAY indicator and pedal indicator light up.
16 Using the Effects HOLD Up to 2 seconds of performance content is recorded, then played back repeatedly. You can also layer this as you perform something else, then record these together (overdub). You can keep the recorded content playing continuously as backing and produce other special effects.
17 Using the Effects Write Procedures (p. 21) When the Tempo Has Been Set The delay time stored in a Patch (p. 20) is determined as follows. • If it is within the delay time range that can be set for the type currently selected, it is stored without change.

20 Saving and Loading the Created Tones (Memory Mode) The ME-50 features a “Memory mode” that allows you to store the various settings within the ME-50 itself, and then call up and use the settings. Switching Between Manual and Memory Mode The mode in which the tone produced reflects the panel settings just as they are is called “Manual mode.
21 Saving and Loading the Created Tones (Memory Mode) Write Procedure The “Write procedure” enables you to save the created tone settings using the panel knobs and pedals, MASTER LEVEL knob setting, and expression pedal settings to Patches. * You can carry out the Write procedure in both Manual mode and Memory mode.

24 Convenient Functions Tuning the Guitar (Tuner) The ME-50 features a built-in chromatic auto-tuner, which allows you to tune your guitar easily, without any need to change any of your connections. Moreover, the sound output is muted in Tuner mode, making it unnecessary for you to turn down your amp volume each time you tune.
25 Convenient Functions * When tuning guitars equipped with tremolo arms, you may find that after tuning one string, other strings may go out of tune. In such instances, first do a rough tuning of each string in order to get them close to their respective notes, then repeat with the fine-tuning of each string.
