4.1 CHANNEL SELECTION

The TriAmp® MK II’s six fundamental sounds may be accessed via the channel selector buttons on the front panel or the TriAmp® MK II Stageboard are called up.

You can also execute switching functions via MIDI using the MSM 1 MIDI Module (refer to Section 4.4). If you want to use an external MIDI switcher, you will need to make an adapter cable that acces- ses the Stageboard jack, wiring it according to the pin assignments shown in Diagram below. Channel selection is executed via momentary contact; FX LOOP activation is executed by switching, namely by applying pin 8 to pin 5 (gro- und).

4.2TRIAMP® MK II AND SIGNAL PROCESSORS

The TriAmp® MK II is equipped with a variable effects loop (serial/parallel). In parallel mode, the effect signal is added to the original preamp signal so that you can dial in a setting where the dry signal remains audible during the brief delays that multieffector switching is prone to cause.

This face-saving feature prevents glaringly evident and potentially embarrassing sonic drop-out the LEVEL knob controls the mix. The passive nature of the mix guarantees that the original signal is not sent through any solid-state circuitry. When the FX LOOP is deactivated, the buffer stage for the effects side is switched off via a relay, thereby ensuring that the FX LOOP never compromises the amp's sound quality.

As a rule of thumb, the best method for using sig- nal processors is to set the output of the processor itself to maximum effect (balance = 100%), and then mix the processed signal with the original signal via the LEVEL control to avoid the sound
