Another of the ENGL Tube Toner´s many faces: MIDI control unit for a 19" stereo 
rack system.

 Guitar to INPUT (31). From MONO OUTPUT (29) to FX device input; from the two 

FX device outputs to the stereo power amp´s inputs. As an alternative, you can also patch in a 
MIDI FX device via the Tube Toner´s stereo effects loop (29, 28, 27): MIDI OUT (19) to the FX 
device´s MIDI IN.

Yet another option: Tube Toner as a multi-channel 
tube expander for a guitar combo. 

Guitar to INPUT 

(31). Either INSTRUMENT OUTPUT (30) directly to the 
combo´s input, or to the input of an effects device (stomp 
box/pedal) and from the output of the effects device 
(stomp box/pedal) to the combo´s input. If the combo is 
equipped with an FX loop - rather than route the signal 
from the INSTRUMENT OUTPUT - you can also send the 
signal from the MONO OUTPUT (29) or one of the two LINE 
OUTPUTS (24) or (25) to the combo´s FX return. However,
keep in mind that with this option you can no longer access 
the combo´s preamp via the Tube Toner´s bypass circuit.

Note:

 If the stomp box/pedal is powered by a wall wart (in 

other words, by AC), then the combination of the combo 
and effect can generate a ground loop, which is easily 
identified by a loud, extremely annoying humming noise.
