Guitar connection

Connect a guitar using either the HIGH or LOW jack in the INPUT section.

The input impedance of the two jacks is different. The HIGH jack is 6.8 MΩ, and the LOW jack is 68 kΩ.

When directly connecting electric guitars with passive	GUITAR

pickups, we recommend that you use the HIGH jack
since such guitars usually have high output impedance.
