DXJ112 Digital Guitar Amplifier

The Input Jacks:

The DXJ112 has two input jacks – High In (straight) and Low In (padded) – to accommodate a wide range of pickups and playing styles. The jack you use depends on your type of pickup(s) and the sounds you’re after.

For example, most players will plug their guitars into the High In jack. These players include those with “normal output” pickups and some players with “hot” pickups who are looking for some added distortion.

Some players will choose the Low In jack. These players are mostly those with “hot”/active pick- ups who want a cleaner sound, with more headroom for the Gain control.

When nothing is plugged into either input jack, the DXJ112 mutes its internal speaker.

The Stereo Line Out/In Jacks:

The DXJ112 has a Stereo Line In and Line Out jack (rear panel), for use as a stereo effects loop, or to send a preamplified signal to an external stereo power amp.

To use an effects loop, connect the Line Out jack to the input of the effects device, then connect the output of the device to the Line In jack.

To send a preamplified signal, connect a stereo signal cable from the Line Out jack to the input of the stereo power amplifier.

The jacks are wired as follows: TIP = left channel, RING = right channel, SLEEVE = ground.

The Line Out jack signal is post master, post eq, and post effects.

CONNECTIONS

•If you want to connect a DXJ112 to another guitar amplifier for stereo sound, you’ll need to make a custom patch cable like the one shown to the right. Use this cable to connect your DXJ112 Line Out jack to the Line In jack of the second guitar amp AND the DXJ112 Line In jack.
