Jacks located on chassis bottom in sequence shown above
1.) External Speaker - this is a 2-conductor 1/4" speaker output jack. Rating is 8 ohms minimum. The signal path to the internal speakers is disconnected when using this jack. Make absolute sure that a 2-conductors speaker cord is used and it is plugged in to the external speaker cabinet before plugging into this jack. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or damage to the amplifier. It is also highly recommended to turn off the AC mains power to the amplifier before plugging or unplugging any speakers to this jack.
2.) Direct (SPKR Emulated) - this is a 3-conductor. XLR output jack for plugging into Lo-Z microphone inputs as found on PA or recording mixers. It is intended in place of external mics or used as a built-in direct box. Great effort was made in emulating the actual speaker sound.
3.) Headphone Jack - this is a 3-conductor stereo jack. The amplifier’s internal speaker is disconnected when this jack is used.
4.) CD/Tape Input - this is a 3-conductor 1/4” jack that allows playback from a Compact Disc or Tape player. The volume is controlled by the device plugged into this jack.
5.) Main FT Switch - this 1/4" stereo jack connects a foot-switch to the amplifier. The tip selects the rhythm or lead channel. The ring selects the effects active/off. This foot-switch is not included with the amplifier. Kustom model KAC-FS201 is recommended to enjoy all the features.
