Link Output [R3]
The Link Output [R3] sends out a dry, unaffected version of
the audio source connected to the front panel ¼” hi-z/line
input jack [F9]. The Link Output behaves in the same way
as a Link/Thru port on a DI box.
The Link Output [R3] is fed directly after the input stage of
the preamp and is a dry, unaffected version of the
instrument connected to Camden EC2’s hi-z/line input jack
[F9]. The signal is fed before the preamp but it is buffered
to maintain signal integrity.
You can connect the Link Output directly to the input of a
Bass Amp, Guitar Amps, Pedal, Preamp or other inputs for
parallel dry/wet recording and guitar reamping.
For more information on how to use the Link Output for when reamping, check out our “
” application guide.
Tip:
Wait, did we just say buffered?! Yes we did. Buffers are a dirty word in guitar
kingdom, but there is no need to fear them. The Link Output has an output
impedance of 75 Ohms, which is the exact same as many high-quality guitar
buffers and the value of some pedals when they are switched on. This will not have
any detrimental effect on almost any guitar pedal and amp combination.
The only time where the output Impedance of the Link Output may be an issue is
when connecting it directly to a Fuzz pedal or similar that needs to see a high
impedance guitar pickup. If you want to connect the link output to a pedal such as
this, you will need a reamp box or similar to convert the signal to high impedance.
