2 Connections

Connecting audio

The Smashup will work in many different applications, whether you are connecting an instrument directly into it, or connecting it through a mixing console. But since the Smashup is a stereo effect unit, it’s important to know whether the source will be stereo or mono.

In-line connection

If you’re connecting a keyboard, guitar or bass directly to the Smashup, hook it up this way:

1.Connect a 1/4" phone cord to the [LEFT/MONO] INPUT of the Smashup from the instrument.

2.Connect another 1/4" phone cord from the LEFT OUTPUT of the Smashup to an amplification system or mixer input.

3.If the instrument and amp or mixer is stereo, connect a second pair of 1/4" phone cords from the instrument to the RIGHT INPUT of the Smashup, and connect the RIGHT OUTPUT of the Smashup to the other input of the stereo amplification system, or the next mixer input.

4.If you’re connecting directly to a stereo mixer, pan the two channels hard left and hard right to get the maximum effect.

When connecting audio cables and/or turning power on and off, make sure that all devices in your system are turned off and the volume controls are turned down.

Turn up the trim...

Most guitars and basses have relatively low output levels. For the quietest effect, turn up the volume on the guitar to full, then crank up the [TRIM] control on the back of the Smashup until the SIGNAL LED on its top panel flashes red while you play, then back it off a bit.
