28:FOOTSWITCH: Use this jack to connect the footswitch cable (5-conductor midi cable) to the four-button footswitch (supplied). This allows you to remotely switch between the channels, set tap tempos, save new presets, and access a second set of DSP presets. (See page 9 for additional information.)

29:MONO EFFECTS LOOP SEND: When using a mono external effects processor, connect this jack to the input jack of the effect by means of a shielded signal cable.

30:MONO EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: When using a mono external effects processor, connect this jack to the output jack of the effect by means of a shielded signal cable.

31:STEREO EFFECTS LOOP SEND: When using a stereo external effects processor, connect this jack to the input jack of the effect by means of a shielded three conductor signal cable terminated with a stereo (R/T/S) 1/4” connector.

32:STEREO EFFECTS LOOP RETURN: When using a stereo external effects processor, connect this jack to the output jack of the effect by means of a shielded three conductor signal cable terminated with a stereo (R/T/S) 1/4” connector.

33:SPEAKER OUTPUTS: Use these jacks to connect the amplifier to your speaker(s) by means of speaker cables with mono 1/4” plugs. The VTX200SH has two separate internal power amplifiers: one for the left channel, one for the right. The two Left Speaker Output jacks are wired in parallel to each other, as are the two Right Speaker Output jacks. Make certain the total impedance of your speakers does not go below four ohms per channel. Use the chart below to help determine parallel loads. If in doubt, ask your dealer.

SPEAKER	NUMBER OF	TOTAL
IMPEDANCE	SPEAKERS (PAR)	IMPEDANCE
8 ohms	2	4 ohms
16 ohms	4	4 ohms
16 ohms	2	8 ohms

When using the stereo Chorus effect the right channel is dry and the left channel is detuned (wet). Each channel will provide 70 watts RMS into an eight ohm load and 100 watts RMS into a four ohm load.

34:AC LINE CORD: This grounded power cord is to be plugged into a grounded power outlet, wired to current electrical codes and compatible with the voltage, power, and frequency requirements stated on the rear panel. Do not attempt to defeat the safety ground connection.
