FX Send:
Sends the signal to your effects units. Connect the input of your effects unit to this jack
FX Return:
Returns the signal from your effects units to the amplifier.
Connect the output of your effects unit to this jack.
Effects Loop:
The “Send” knob is push/pull for selecting line or instrument level. This allows you to
use a studio effects unit (line level) or a stomp box (requires instrument level) in the FX
loop. Adjust the amount of “Send” so as to get maximum performance from your effects
unit and the “Return” to get the right amount of effected signal.
The “Return” knob is push/pull for parallel or series operation. In parallel mode, the
effected signal is mixed to the dry sound. In series mode, the effects in the loop will
process the entire signal. The amount of effects can be adjusted with the return knob. If
you pull the return knob out for series operation without any effects plugged in the loop,
the loop will be open and no sound will result.
XLR Balanced Output:
Use the Pre-EQ setting in a concert situation where the sound engineer is taking a signal
into the house-mixing console. The engineer is now getting their feed before the preamp
stage, which allows them to use appropriate EQ for the venue. The EQ on stage will still
be controlled by your settings. If the engineer wants your EQ settings included in the
mix, set the control to Post EQ and your settings on stage will be sent to the house.
The D.I. output is –32dB. This level is the correct output for a signal going into the
preamp on a mixer. Our balanced output uses the highest quality Jensen output
transformer. If you hear any ground noise, change the position of the ground lift switch
under the output
Footswitch:
Use the optional Aguilar footswitch to mute the signal for silent tuning.
