1.LOW Z: Connect a low impedance micro- phone here by means of a shielded signal cable terminated with an XLR type connector.
2.HIGH Z: Connect a high impedance micro- phone here by means of a shielded signal cable terminated with a 1/4” connector.
3.LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the level of the mic channel.
4.LOW: Use this control to adjust the low fre- quency level for the mic channel.
5.MID: Use this control to adjust the mid fre- quency level for the mic channel.
6.HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high fre- quency level for the mic channel.
7.DSP SEND: Use this control to adjust the amount of signal sent to the internal Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for the mic channel.
8.INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external effects device to the amplifier. This is a stereo 1/4” jack, wired as follows:
Tip = Line In (Return - from effect out)
Ring = Line Out (Send - to effect in)
Sleeve = ground
More information on the Insert jack can be found on page 8.

9.INSTRUMENT INPUT: Connect an instru- ment, tape player, CD player, or high imped- ance microphone here by means of a shielded signal cable terminated with a 1/4” connector.
10:GAIN (Active only with the Channel Select switch depressed): Use this control to adjust the gain for the instrument channel 1 – the lower the setting, the lower the amount of dis- tortion. As this control is rotated clockwise, the distortion increases and the output signal becomes louder.
11:SHAPE (Active only with the Channel Select switch depressed): Use this control to adjust the tone of the instrument channel 1. Rotating this control counter clockwise enhances mid frequencies; rotating it clockwise enhances the low and high frequencies.
12:LEVEL (Active only with the Channel Select switch depressed): Use this control to adjust the output level of the instrument channel 1.
13.CHANNEL SELECT: Use this switch to select channel 1 or 2 for the instrument input. With this switch depressed, the Gain, Shape, and Level controls (#10 – 12) are active. With this switch in the out position, the Low, Mid, High, and Level controls (#14 – 17) are active. Channel
1is typically used for electric guitars since the Gain control can be cranked to produce heavily overdriven distortion.
