POWER Switch
The [
POWER
] switch turns the AC power to the unit ON (in) or OFF (out).
Power
This is a plug for connecting the +9VAC power supply (supplied). The power
supply is then connected to an AC outlet delivering a nominal 120VAC. The correct
power supply must be used AT ALL TIMES. Any other power supply might create
a fire risk and/or permanently damage your unit. This damage would NOT be
covered under your warranty.
MIDI In
This is a 5 pin DIN standard MIDI plug which connects to any MIDI compatible
equipment such as a MIDI sequencer that will send program changes and controller
information to the unit.
MIDI Out/Thru
This is a 5 pin DIN standard MIDI plug which connects to any MIDI compatible
equipment such as a keyboard or another effects device. It is provided for sending
system exclusive commands for storing programs. It also relays all messages
received on the [
MIDI IN
] if MIDI THRU is enabled. The MIDI THRU function is
found in the UTILity mode (see “UTILity Button”, earlier in this chapter).
Input (Left & Right)
These are balanced 1/4" phone jacks which connect to sources such as the effects
sends of mixing consoles. They may be used with nominal input levels from -10dBV
(guitar level) to +4dBu.
For mono applications, use the [
LEFT
] input. The [
LEFT
] input jack is normalled to
the [

RIGHT
] input
jack, the signal present at the [
LEFT
] input will be routed to the [
RIGHT
] as well.
Output (Left & Right)
These are balanced 1/4" phone jacks which connect to devices such as the effect
returns on a mixing console. For mono applications, use the [
LEFT
] output.
