for the SFX Satellite

A Message from the Chairman

Since 1946, Fender realized the importance of your amplifier. You see, your

amplifier is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is a

finely tuned musical instrument. And like any fine musical instrument, it

should be treated with special care and attention to detail.

At Fender, we know what building guitar amplifiers is all about. For over half a

century, we have been designing and producing some of the world’s best

amplifiers, helping shape the face of music. In fact, many of the world’s most

classic and best sounding amplifiers proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you are after that classic Fender tone, a clean crisp sound for your

Bass or Keyboard or the raw driving power of modern distortion, your

decision to purchase a Fender amplifier is one you will appreciate with each

passing note for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

Bill Schultz

Chairman of the Board

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation

Bill Schultz

Congratulations on your purchase of a Fender SFX

Satellite. Your new Fender SFX Satellite is designed

by the same Tone-Team that has created many other

classic Fender amps: like the Tone-Master®,

Princeton®Chorus and the versatile Hot Rod Series.

Built with care and special attention to detail, your

SFX Satellite offers you the ability to add the “spatially

exciting” Stereo Field eXpansion effect (patent

pending) to your traditional guitar rig. (See figures at

left for an explanation of the SFX effect.)

Designed to sit under your traditional guitar amplifier,

your Fender SFX Satellite features: 80 Watts of

power, on-board digital signal processing and a 12”

4-ohm speaker for a full-bodied tone. Moreover, the

footswitch circuitry allows for remote on/off selection

of the SFX effect.

For the musician who wants to expand the capability

of their guitar amplifier, your SFX Satellite is a quality

Fender product. To ensure maximum performance

from your SFX Satellite, please read through this

manual and reference it as needed. Also, please

heed all safety warnings relating to your new SFX

Satellite Extension.

Take the time to get to know each other... Tune-up,

Plug-in and ... Play On!

Fig. A The sound waves from a traditional guitar amplifier

project forward, focusing their energy in one direction.

Fig. B Fender’s Stereo Field eXpansion circuitry (patent

pending) processes the signal through one of 32 available

stereo digital effects. The stereo signal is then processed

by the exclusive SFX matrix circuit and sent to the speakers

creating a psychoacoustic event that results in up to 300º

of stereo imaging.

SFX SATELLITE SET-UP PROCEDURE

From Preamp Out To Power Amp In

To SFX Satellite Input From SFX Satellite Output

Your Fender SFX Satellite offers endless possibilities

for enhancing and creating new and exciting sounds

from your traditional guitar rig. By following the set-

up procedures listed below and on the following

page, in a matter of minutes you will be exploring

your SFX Satellite’s capabilities.

1. To set up your SFX Satellite, begin by making sure

both your amplifier and your SFX Satellite are turned

OFF or are in their standby positions. Next, connect

your guitar line cords from your amplifier to your SFX

Satellite as demonstrated in the illustration below.

2. With the Bypass button in on your SFX Satellite,

turn on your SFX Satellite and then your guitar amp.

Next, raise the volume and tone knobs on your guitar

amp to the volume and sound levels desired.

3. Next, place all knobs on your SFX Satellite at 1 or

their minimum positions.

4. Make sure the SFX On/Off button pressed in

(green light on) and the Bypass button in its out

position.

5. Play your guitar at your average volume through

your rig. At this point, no sound will emanate from

your SFX Satellite. Refer to the chart below to help

determine the SFX Satellite speaker operation modes

of your SFX Satellite and guitar amp.

6. Adjust the DSP Send knob on your SFX Satellite

so the “signal” light comes on.

7. Next, play at your hardest strength to ensure the

DSP “clip” light does not come on. If the DSP “clip”

light does come on, reduce the signal via the DSP

Send knob.

8. Set the DSP Return knob at 5. Next, adjust the

Output level knob on your SFX Satellite to a level

comparable to your guitar amp.

9. Push the Bypass switch in and out to match the

volume levels between your SFX Satellite and your

guitar amp by itself. The table below offers a few

suggestions on setting up the DSP Send and Output

Level adjustments. As a general rule of thumb, when

increasing your guitar amp volume it may be necessary

to decrease DSP send level on your SFX Satellite.

10. Adjust the DSP Return knob for the desired

effect level or “wetness”. Remember, extreme

adjustments to the DSP Receive knob will require an

adjustment of Output Level using the Bypass switch.

11. Finally, slowly rotate the SFX knob clockwise for

the desired spatial effect.

12. When shutting down your rig, turn off your guitar

amp first then your SFX Satellite.

A. INPUT - Plug your guitar amplifier’s preamp

output or its effects send output in here.

B. DSP SEND - This knob adjusts the input level

received from your guitar amp to the SFX Satellite,

setting the level of signal input to the Digital Signal

Processing card. Rotating the knob to the right

increases the signal level input to the DSP card. Set

the knob so your average playing level lights the

yellow “signal” light. Playing peaks should not light

the red “clip” light as this will indicate distortion.

C. DSP RETURN - This knob adjusts the output

level from the DSP card and the wet dry signal mix

prior to the SFX matrix. Rotating the knob to the

right increases the signal level input to the SFX

Satellite amplifier.

D. SFX ON / OFF - This push-push button is the On

/ Off control of the Stereo Field eXpansion or SFX

effect. When the button is out, the SFX signal will

not emanate from the bottom speaker, however,the

SFX front signal is still sent to your traditional amp.

Turning off the SFX feature does not impact the DSP

effects sent to your amplifier. Note: Refer to the

chart on page 7 for the various configurations

available when using the SFX On/Off and Bypass

buttons and Footswitch.

E. SFX - This knob controls the volume level of the

bottom speaker. Rotating the knob clockwise

increases the volume to the bottom speaker varying

the SFX spatial effect.

F. SFX ON - This green LED illuminates when the

SFX effect is active on your SFX Satellite.

G. OUTPUT LEVEL - Controls the signal level from

the SFX Satellite to your guitar amp’s power amp

input or effects receive input.

H. OUTPUT - This 1/4 inch jack sends the signal

from your SFX Satellite to your guitar amp’s power

amp input or its effects receive input.

SFX SATELLITE FRONT CONTROL PANEL

I. BYPASS - This push-push button is the On / Off

switch for the bypass feature. When this button is

pressed, the SFX and DSP effects are bypassed and

the guitar amp’s signal is routed back to your

amplifier. Note: Refer to the chart below for the

various configurations available when using the SFX

On/Off and Bypass buttons and Footswitch.

J. F/S BYPASS - This jack, for the one button

footswitch (included), is used for hands free

deactivation of the SFX effect. Using this jack

overrides the bypass switch. When the footswitch is

pressed the SFX and DSP effects are inactive and the

guitar’s signal is routed directly back to your amplifier.

K. DSP EFFECTS - This 32-position data wheel

selects among the various on-board digital effects.

These effects will only be heard if the DSP Send and

Receive knobs are turned up. For a complete listing

of all on-board effects available refer to the chart

located on page 8.

L. SIGNAL - This yellow LED illuminates when an

adequate signal level exists at the DSP input. CLIP -

This red LED illuminates when an excessive signal

level exists at the DSP input. If this occurs lower the

input signal via the DSP Send knob.

M. POWER INDICATOR - This LED illuminates when

your SFX Satellite is receiving power.

N. POWER SWITCH - Turns the AC power ON and

OFF. When the switch is OFF, the SFX Satellite is

completely shut down.
