Since the effects loops are on a side chain, their use should greatly reduce noise generated by effects devices (as compared to
SEND
Run a shielded patch cable from the Send jack to the input of your effects device. This jack may be used as an additional line level output, in which case its level is determined by the setting of the Gain control.
RECEIVE
Run a shielded patch cable from the output of your effects device to the Receive jack.
One unique feature of the Receive jack is the ability to practice along with
NOTE: Inserting a plug into the Receive jack activates the Effects Blend control by receiving a “command” through the ground created. Therefore, only a mono
If you are not getting any “effect” through the speakers, check the position of the appropriate Effects Blend control on the front panel.
BALANCED XLR LINE OUT
Being a “line” out, the signal appearing here is similar to that heard through the speaker system. All of the controls on the front panel, except the Master Volume, will affect the sound.
To use this feature, run an XLR cable from the Balanced Line out to the input of a mixing console, tape machine, etc. This output is also suitable for sending a signal to a house mixer in live situations.
Wiring for the XLR connector is American standard: Pin 1= ground, Pin 2= +, Pin 3= – (minus)
STEREO OPERATION
Complete stereo operation can be achieved using the following procedure:
First, you will need an external power amp and speaker cabinet (powered “slave” enclosures are ideal for this situation). Plug a shielded patch cable from the Line Out
The independent effects loops of both channels can now be used for full stereo enhancement. This can be obtained by plugging in a stereo effect such as a chorus, echo, etc. Use the left side of the effect for the Instrument channel (Channel 1) and the right for the Mic/Aux channel (Channel 2). Don’t forget to set the Effects Blend control properly for each side.
LINE OUT CH-1 JACK
This jack works in conjunction with either the Instrument or Stereo inputs. This feature allows you to send the Instrument channel’s signal to an external system. Inserting a cord into this jack DISCONNECTS the signal from the internal power amp, therefore the Master Volume, Reverb and internal speaker system are disabled.
LINE OUT CH-2 JACK
This jack performs the exact same functions for the Mic/Aux Channel (Channel 2) as the “Line Out
NOTE: To achieve a “summed” Line Out of Channels 1 and 2, you have three options:
a)Optimal: Use the Balanced XLR Line Out jack. If you need this connection terminated into a 1/4" phone plug, then use either a direct box or a line transformer (XLR female to 1/4" phone plug male).
b)Not Optimal*: Sum both Effects Send jacks into a “Y” cable and send the signal to the desired destination
c)Not Optimal*: Sum the “Line Out
