SLAVE:
This 1/4" jack and control provide a signal derived from the speaker jack. Perfect for using the

NOTE: Once a signal is taken from the SLAVE it can not be inserted back into the FX Loop Return jack or a feedback loop will occur. Much like holding a microphone into the PA system’s cabinets...a loud high pitched squeal will result.
SPEAKERS:
One 8 ohm and two 4 ohm speaker jacks are provided. The
both to the 4 ohm outputs provided (because the total load is 4 ohms in that case.)

Feel free to experiment with the speaker jacks, trying different loads. Many great sounds and feels may be achieved by experimenting with different combinations of speaker impedance. Keep in mind the greatest clean headroom is always achieved with proper impedance loads...i.e. an 8 ohm speaker connected to an 8 ohm jack.
NOTE: Always use a load on the
