of the 16 MIDI channels through the UTILITY menu.  MIDI phantom power is supplied as
+9V DC on pin 3 and ground on pin 1.

connecting up to your system.

by the OUTPUT2 se4 dB switch.

response of a guitar speaker cabinet. This is great for going straight to a mixer for
recording or live sound.

28. RETURN L + R

Effects Loop return jacks are set up to return a stereo effect. If a Mono effect is used the

jacks will sum the signal equally to both sides. If a return to only one side is desired a spare
1/4" plug can be plugged into the unused return jack to break the connection.

at your effects unit. The SEND signal may also be turned off through the Effect level button.

on the front of your system. This plug is turned off if the front panel INPUT is used.
