21. MONO FX

 LOOP

Serial signal path for external effects processors. Connect the 

ATTAX’S LOOP

RETURN 

to the device’s 

OUTPUT 

jack. The output signal’s dry/wet mix is regulated

at the processor.

22. 

STEREO FX LOOP

The parallel 

STEREO EFFECTS LOOP’s dry/wet mix 

is regulated via the 

FX MIX pot

(14). The effects signal can be activated via the STAGEBOARD or MIDI messages.

Connect the 

ATTAX's LOOP SEND 

jack to the 

device’s INPUT, 

and the 

ATTAX's

LOOP LEFT/RIGHT RETURN 

jacks to the device’s 

LEFT/RIGHT OUTPUT 

jacks.

Use the 

ATTAX STEREO LOOP’S RIGHT RETURN 

jack for mono signal processors.

The LOOP sends a mono signal if only the 

RIGHT RETURN 

jack is connected.

TIP 1: You 

can connect other instruments/sound generation equipment to the 

ATTAX

via the 

STEREO LOOP’S RETURN 

jacks instead of a signal processor/effects device.

A second guitar, keyboard, drum machine, tape player, etc. can be used for rehearsals

/ practice sessions.

 Adding a 

STEREO SIGNAL 

(tape deck, keyboard, etc.):

Connect the device’s LEFT /RIGHT OUTPUTS to the ATTAX STEREO LOOP’S

LEFT / RIGHT INPUTS.

Step on the STAGEBOARD’S FX footswitch (the loop is activated).

Regulate the device’s volume via the 

FX MIX pot 

located on the front panel (to

the left towards DRY = 

volume down, 

to the right towards WET = volume 

up).

TIP 2: You 

can also use the loop to activate an additional MASTER VOLUME,

provided you do not connect a signal processor.

 Activating the additional MASTER VOLUME

Step on the STAGEBOARD’S FX footswitch (the LED illuminates).

Dial in a separate MASTER VOLUME setting for the ATTAX via the FX MIX pot (to

the left towards 

DRY = volume up, 

to the right towards 

WET = volume down).

You 

can switch back and forth between the two MASTER VOLUMES via the

FX footswitch.

Upon MIDI option installation, you can also call MASTER VOLUME changes via MIDI

messages.

23. LINE OUT ( LEFT / RIGHT 

)

The two LINE OUT jacks (Left/Right) feed the preamp’s signal to a power amp(s). Use
a single 

LINE OUT 

jack to drive a mono power amp and speaker cabinet.
