6. Išvesties režimai
The FV04 supports two main output configurations:
- Individual Mode: This mode provides separate outputs for your guitar and vocal signals. The guitar signal exits via the 1/4-inch 'GUITAR OUT' jack, and the vocal signal (with effects) exits via the 'XLR OUT'.
- Mišinio režimas: In this mode, both the guitar and vocal signals are combined and sent through the 'XLR OUT'. This is useful for simplified setups where a single output to a mixer or amplifier is preferred.
To switch between output modes, refer to the product's quick start guide or the official FLAMMA website for specific button combinations, as this functionality is often accessed through a hidden setting or a combination of button presses during power-up.

- BRIGHT Mode: Indicated by a Blue LED. Enhances clarity and presence in your vocal tone.
- Normalus režimas: Indicated by the LED being OFF. Provides a natural, unprocessed vocal tone.
To cycle through these vocal tone modes, press the SHARP button three times quickly. The LED color will change to indicate the active mode.
