The Effects Loop

The JT50/JT100 provides you with the means of adding your favorite effects processor to the signal path by including an effects loop. On the rear panel of the JT50/JT100 you will find a single Loop Send jack and a single Loop Return jack. The JT50/100 effects loop is a stereo TRS send/return loop utilizing TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jacks . When used in the JT50, you will only hear left/right stereo imaging of effects in the headphone output. Both left and right are then summed together through the JT50's speaker. When using the loop in the JT100, left/right imaging are maintained through both the headphone output and the JT100's 2 speakers. The tip (T) is the left send/return and the ring (R) is the right send/return. You will need 2 1/4” stereo “Y” cords to utilize the stereo sends and returns.

Stereo Send - The effect send is an output from the JT50JT100’s preamp. These would be connected to the input of an external effect device of your choosing. The input level of the external effects processor may need to be adjusted to prevent clipping.

Stereo Return - The effect return is an input to the power amp of the JT50/JT100. This would be connected to the output of an external effect device.

Note: The Mirage JT50 and JT100 effect loop is designed for use of rack mount type effects only. Use of effect pedals in the Loop is not recommended as they are not generally designed to handle the line level output produced at the Loop send jack.
