2. Introduction
Welcome to the Play Acoustic manual!
First, thank you so much for purchasing Play Acoustic. We at TC-Helicon are
confident that your vocal and acoustic guitar performances will be positively
impacted with this great effects processor.
As you discovered in the Quick Start Guide (the short manual that came in the
box), Play Acoustic is easy to use at the top level, but there is more under the
hood of this compact device than you might think. We recommend you treat your
Play Acoustic like any other new instrument and dedicate some time to learning
how to use it.
Yes, that means RTFM!

And if you ever find yourself without this manual:
On the bottom of your Play Acoustic , you will find a "cheat sheet" explaining the
most important functions.

Diagrams
On the following pages, you will see some connection diagrams. We have set things up to give you clear and concise representations of what goes where.
There are a few things we would like you to keep in mind as you look at the diagrams:
1. Inputs to Play Acoustic will be to the left of the back panel image.
2. Outputs from Play Acoustic will be to the right of the back panel image.
3. There are two boxes on the bottom of each diagram.
• • The Play Acoustic box shows "what you hear" from your Play Acoustic headphone output.
• • The P.A. box shows "what you hear" from the P.A. speakers.
4. We don't account for other inputs/instruments when showing "what you hear" from the P.A., so you won't see pictures of drums etc.
5. In a lot of cases, "what you hear" will be the same for both Play Acoustic headphone output and P.A. – but it can also be different.
