Outputting the Direct Sound and Effect Sound Separately

When you connect a plug to OUTPUT B, only the direct sound is output from the OUTPUT B jack, and only the effect sound (synth sound) 

is output from the OUTPUT A (MONO) jack.

This allows you to create the impression that the direct and effect sounds are being output from separate amps, adding yet a different 

effect to the sound.

* 

In this case, sounds are output only from the OUTPUT B jack when the effect is switched off.

Bass Amp

Bass Amp

Multiple Effects, etc.

Bass 

Guitar

* 

To ensure stable conditions, connect the SYB-5 directly to your bass's output. Connect any additional effects to the SYB-5’s OUTPUT A 
(MONO) or OUTPUT B jacks.
