Briefly described here are the basic connections to get you up and running quickly. For more information on connections, please refer to Chapter 2.

•Mono In, Mono or Stereo Out. Connect a 1/4" phone cord to the [LEFT/MONO] INPUT of the NanoVerb from a mono source. (The Left input will then feed both inputs.) Connect another 1/4" phone cord from the [LEFT] OUTPUT of the NanoVerb to an amplification system or mixer input. Additionally, you could connect a second 1/4" phone cord to the [RIGHT] OUTPUT for use with a stereo amplification system, or two mixer inputs.

•Stereo. Connect two 1/4" phone cords to the [LEFT/MONO] & [RIGHT] INPUTS of the NanoVerb from a stereo source , and two 1/4" phone cords from the [LEFT/MONO] & [RIGHT] OUTPUTS of the NanoVerb to a stereo amplification

system or two mixer inputs.
