Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the BOSS FDR-1 Deluxe Reverb.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and
“IMPORTANT NOTES” (supplied on a separate sheet). These sections provide important in-
formation concerning the proper operation of the unit.
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good understanding of every fea-
ture provided by your new unit, this manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should
be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.
About COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for short—is Roland’s innovative and pow-
erful technology that’s used to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical instruments and
effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original sound—including its elec-
trical and physical characteristics—and creates a digital model that accurately reproduces the
original.
A battery is supplied with the unit. The life of this battery may be limited, however, since
its primary purpose is to enable testing.

About the Fender® DELUXE REVERB®
fig.DeluxeReverb.eps
The DELUXE REVERB®amp was announced in 1963. It’s medium
wattage and pure tone made it a top choice throughout the ’60s,
’70s and ’80s, for use in recording sessions and live performances
in a full range of genres, from surf music, blues, and country to jazz,
soul, and even hard rock.
In addition to its characteristic clean and crisp tones, at high vol-
ume levels the amp delivers a lustrous overdrive sound that could
only come from the DELUXE REVERB®.
Among the several members of the series, the 1965 model is espe-
cially acclaimed and has captured the hearts of many guitarists.
Reissued in 1994, the DELUXE REVERB®is truly one of Fender’s
finest amps and a perennial best-seller to this day.

1. AC Adaptor Jack
This jack accepts the connection of an AC
adaptor (optionally available BOSS PSA-se-
ries). By using an AC adaptor, you can play
without being concerned about how much
battery power you have left.
* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-
series), and make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specified
on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors
may use a different polarity, or be designed for
a different voltage, so their use could result in
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
* If the AC adaptor is connected while power is
on, the power supply is drawn from the AC
adaptor.
* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC
adaptor is being used, the FDR-1 will switch
over to battery-powered operation should the
line voltage be interrupted due to a power
blackout or power cord disconnection.

2. CHECK Indicator
This indicator shows whether the effect is on
or off, and also doubles as the battery check
indicator. The indicator lights when the ef-
fect is on.
* If you’re powering the unit with a battery
and the CHECK indicator goes dim—or
doesn’t light at all—when you try to turn the
effect on, the battery is near depletion and
should be replaced. For instructions on
changing the battery, refer to “Changing the
Battery” (p. 14).
* The CHECK indicator shows whether the
effect is being applied or not. It does not
indicate whether the power to the device is on
or not.
3. OUTPUT Jack
This output jack is used for connecting to
guitar amps and other effects processors.
4. Pedal Switch
This switch turns the effect on/off.
5. Thumbscrew
When this screw is loosened, the pedal will
open, allowing you to change the battery.
For instructions on changing the battery, re-
fer to “Changing the Battery” (p. 14).
6. INPUT Jack
These jacks are for connecting the output
from an electric guitar or other instrument or
effects device.
* These jacks double as power switch. Power to
the FDR-1 is turned on when you plug into
the INPUT jack; the power is turned off when
the cable is unplugged. When not using the
FDR-1, be sure to disconnect the plug from
the INPUT jack.

7. GAIN Knob
This adjusts the amount of distortion and the
volume level. Turning it clockwise makes
distortion stronger and increases the volume
level.
8. LEVEL Knob
This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
* No sound is output when this knob is turned
completely counterclockwise.
9. TREBLE Knob
This knob controls the tone of the effect at
higher frequencies.
10. BASS Knob
This knob controls the tone of the effect at
lower frequencies.
11. REVERB Knob
This adjusts the amount of reverb effect that
is applied.
12. VIBRATO Knob
This adjusts the amount of vibrato effect (cy-
clical fluctuations in volume) that is applied.
Turning it clockwise makes the effect more
intense.
Turning the VIBRATO knob while depress-
ing the pedal switch changes the vibrato rate
(RATE setting mode).
Turning it clockwise increases the rate.

Connections
* Inserting a connecting plug into the INPUT jack
turns on the power to the unit.
* Raise the amp volume only after turning on the
power to all connected devices.
* The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the
unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should
you prefer to use a battery, please use the alkaline
type.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always turn down the volume, and
turn off the power on all devices before making any
connections.
* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC adaptor
is being used, normal operation will continue
should the line voltage be interrupted due to power
blackout or power cord disconnection.
* Some connection cables contain resistors. When
connection cables with resistors are used, the sound
level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear.
For information on cable specifications, contact the
manufacturer of the cable.
* Once the connections have been completed, turn on
power to your various devices in the order specified.
By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk
causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and
other devices.
When powering up:
Turn on the power to your guitar amp last.
When powering down:
Turn off the power to your guitar amp first.
* Always make sure to have the volume level turned
down before switching on power. Even with the
volume all the way down, you may still hear some
sound when the power is switched on, but this is
normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
* When operating on battery power only, the CHECK
indicator will become dim when battery power gets
too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
