LINE OUT:

used to feed the power amplifier when

the BATT is acting as a preamplifier in a
complete rig. The output from the BATT

is connected to the input of the power
amplifier, and the output of the power
amp is connected to the speaker cabinet.

The LINE OUT signal can also be used

as an alternative to the INSTRUMENT

OUT jack when connecting the BATT to

an external preamp, although it is impor-
tant to ensure correct level matching.

INSTRUMENT  OUT:

The INSTRUMENT OUT is designed as

a signal path for connecting the BATT

 to

an external amp or preamp, or for
connecting two 

BATT

 preamps together.

In TUBE position, the GAIN / MASTER

section and the tone controls can be used

to control the signal. In BYPASS, the
signal is preamplified  but unaffected by
the tone control setting.

IN THE

 STUDIO:

To feed a signal directly from the BATT
to a line input on the mixing console or

tape recorder, you have a choice of three

outputs: the PA OUT (in which case the
signal level is independent of the

MASTER volume setting), the LINE
OUT, and the INSTRUMENT OUT. No

space or volume problems, no miking

hassles, just full-bodied sound is available

in an instant.
