7
(7) LOOP on/off indicator
The indicator is on when a loop is engaged.
(8) FS1/FS2 (Footswitch indicators)
The indicator is on when FS1/FS2 is open, off when FS1/FS2 is latched.
(9) INPUT
Connects to Guitar. A plug (adapter) is shipped installed in this INPUT location, since there is now a guitar input on the
side of the FX22. The plug allows for the Guitar input on the side of the FX22 to make a proper connection to the guitar in
(INPUT) circuit. The plug can be removed if the user wishes to plug into the guitar in (INPUT) under the FX22.
(10) TUNER
Connects to tuner.
(11) SEND & RETURN 1-7
Loop pairs, connects SEND (S*) to guitar pedal input, RETURN(R*) to guitar pedal output.
(12) OUTPUT
OUTPUT jack of the switcher, the input signal reaches this jack via loop1~7.
(13) DC Jack
5.5 x 2.1 mm type, use negative center DC 9V / 350 - 500mA power supply (this unit will not function properly under
350mA’s).
(14) LOOP8
Loop8 is a separate loop, FX LOOP IN8 is the input of this loop, SEND8 sends the signal and RTN8 returns it,
FX LOOP OUT8 is the output of loop8. SEND8 also functions as latching N.C (Normally Closed) switch which
works as footswitch to control amplifier channel while FX LOOP OUT8 also functions as latching N.O
(Normally Open) footswitch.
This is nice to have when you are using your amp to achieve your overdriven or distortion tones instead of a
pedal, since most modulation and time based effects in general sound more natural when applied to the
signal after it has been overdriven. However if you are using pedals for your overdrive you can simply place
your time based and modulation effects after your overdrive pedal. In which case you can use Loop 8 in front
of the amp as shown in Configuration 1 on page 12
(15) FOOTSWITCH Jacks
There are two footswitch jacks FS1 and FS2 which can switch the amplifier channel, The TIP and RING of FS1/
FS2 are normally closed (indicators are off), the indicators will be on when FS1/FS2 is open. FS1 is a stereo
(TRS) jack, the ring of FS1 jack connects to the TIP of FS2, FS1 allows a stereo cable connection between the
FX8 Command center and amplifiers which has a stereo footswitch jack
