28:Footswitch. Connect the supplied two-button footswitch here for remote on/off control of the internal reverb and chorus. (When con- nected, the footswitch overrides the front panel chorus on/off switch.)

Note: This is a STEREO jack: tip controls the chorus, ring controls the reverb, sleeve is ground. Use only a footswitch equipped with a stereo 1/4” plug.

29:Effects Loop Send. When using an external signal processor, connect this jack to the input of the effect by means of a shielded signal cable.

30:Effects Loop Return. When using an external signal processor, con- nect this jack to the output of the effect by means of a shielded signal cable.

31:High Z Balanced Line Output. Use this jack to connect a high imped- ance, line level signal to a house sound board, a recording console or an external power amplifier by means of an 1/4” stereo plug-termi- nated cable. (Ring is signal +, tip is signal -, and sleeve is ground.)

32:Low Z Balanced Line Output. Use this jack to connect a low imped- ance, line level signal to a house sound board, a recording console or an external power amplifier by means of an XLR-terminated cable. (Pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is signal +, and pin 3 is signal -.)

33:Gnd Lift. This switch, when depressed, electronically disconnects the Low Z Balanced Output jack’s chassis ground connection. If you experience excessive noise when using the Low Z Balanced Output jack, depress this switch.

34:Line Output Level. Use this control to adjust the output level of the line out signal. (This control works independently from the amplifi- er’s master level control.)

35:Tweeter Level. Use this control to adust the signal output level from the CA125D’s internal tweeter. Rotating this control counter-clock- wise reduces the tweeter’s output level.

36:AC Line Cord. The grounded power cord should only be plugged into a grounded power outlet that meets all applicable electrical codes and is compatible with the voltage, power and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection!
