UNBALANCED PRE-MASTER OUTS
TUNER OUT
External effects are never present.
DIRECT OUT
With the "Line/Direct" switch in the "Direct" position, no external effects are present. With the
"Line/Direct" switch in the "Line" position signal from only the LEFT EFX return will be present.
MO' BASS OUT
Signal from only the RIGHT EFX return is present at this output.
BALANCED PRE-MASTER OUTS
DIRECT OUT
External effects are never present. This is another difference between the balanced (XLR) "Direct Out"
jack and the unbalanced (1/4") "Direct Out" jack.
MO' BASS OUT
Signal from only the RIGHT EFX return is present at this output.
SENDING STEREO EXTERNALLY PROCESSED SIGNALS
When "Dual Mode" is engaged and you have routed both left and right effect sends and returns to an
external effects device, a processed signal is present at both the "clean/left" and the "wet/right" sides of
the Mini-Mo' Preamp. To send a true stereo externally processed output from the Mini-Mo' Preamp
Interface Panel, use the 1/4" Unbalanced or XLR Balanced "Mini-Mo' Preamp" Output for the "wet/right"
send. Use only the 1/4" Unbalanced Direct Out with the "Line/Direct" switch in the "Line" position for the
"clean/left" send, as the XLR Balanced Direct Out will NEVER send an externally processed signal. This
output is dedicated to sending an unprocessed signal.
A FINAL WORD ON THE MINI-MO' PREAMP INTERFACE SECTION
This isn't as complicated as it sounds. Most of the head-spinning text listed above was to define some
esoteric patching possibilities and how they might affect the signal present at certain outputs on the
Interface Panel. Most often it will be simple––one or two XLR outputs to a mixing board, and maybe a
tuner out. But the information is here if you need it, and remember––there's no substitute for
experimentation and learning by trying all of the possibilities yourself. Before you get to the gig, call your
friend with the mini-studio in his or her bedroom, bring the Mini-Mo' Preamp over, and find out for
yourself what the Mini-Mo' Preamp Interface section is capable of. But bring the manual with you, just
in case.
STEREO EFFECTS (EFX) LOOP
As noted in the External Effects Blend controls section of the manual, the Mini-Mo' Preamp is equipped
with a TRUE STEREO External Effects Loop. You can now use an external effects unit to affect the
channel(s) of your choosing (clean/left or wet/right in Dual Mode; either or both in Single Channel
Mode). Please refer to the External Effects Blend controls section of the manual for basic connection
instructions and operation with the front panel Blend controls. The information in this section is meant
to supplement that previous section.
USING THE STEREO EXTERNAL EFFECTS LOOP
The Preamp Volume control acts as the closest thing to an overall effects send level control. The
amount of signal present at the Left and Right Effects Send jacks is governed by the Preamp Volume
and various internal effects settings on the front panel. The signal essentially goes through the entire
