REAR

MAINS IN: Socket for the included Euromains power cable. Before plugging into the wall socket, make certain the amp's voltage rating as dis- played in the VOLTAGE SELECTOR window matches your local AC voltage rating.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR: If you need to change TriAmp® MK II's voltage to your local AC voltage rating, pull out this cartridge and see Section 2.1 for further details.

ANODE FUSE: Fuse holder for the power amp's anode fuses. Be sure you only use fuses rated to the indicated specifications.

HALF POWER: This power soak switch cuts the TriAmp® MK II’s output power in half from 100 watts to 50 watts.

PREAMP OUT, POWER AMP IN: The TriAmp® MK II sports an ancillary serial FX loop that lets you control master volume via a volume pedal.

The preamp signal is patched out via PREAMP OUT jack and in again via POWER AMP In.

STAGEBOARD: Input jack for TriAmp® MK II STAGEBOARD. The length of the cord can be extended using standard computer cables (equipped with 9-pin SUB-D connector).

FX LOOP

FX SERIAL/PARALLEL: An innovative new feature of the TriAmp® MK II, it lets you select the desired type of effects loop, parallel or serial, at the touch of a button. The FX loop setting may be stored and switched via MIDI using the optional MSM-1 MIDI module.

LEVEL: Determines the relative levels of the TriAmp® MK II’s preamp signal and the signal routed into the FX RETURN jack as sent from a connected effects device and the like. In other words, use it to set the desired wet/dry mix.

FX SEND: Connect this jack to your effects processor's input jack.

FX SEND LEVEL: This damping switch allows you to adapt the signal level to lower-level effects devices. Press this switch in for instrument level processors (e.g. stomp boxes).

FX RETURN: Connect this jack to your effects processor's output jack.

RED BOX® DI OUT: This is a balanced output featuring the RED BOX® Cabinet Simulator.

It enables you to feed the TriAmp® MK II signal directly to a mixing console for stage and recording purposes. Refer to Section 4.3 for details.

SPEAKER: The TriAmp® MK II features 4-, 8- and 16-ohm speaker outs for perfect impedance matching. Its minimum impedance is 4 ohms.

NOTE:

Never operate the TriAmp® MK II without a loudspeaker connected!
