                  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

EFFECTS LOOP RETURN:

  Connect the output from your external effects to this socket.  The effects loop allows you to 

connect external effects such as tremolos, chorus and delays to your amplifier.  A portion of the signal leaves the amplifier via 
the `Send’ socket and comes back from the effects via the `Return` socket.  Use the output level control on your FX to control 
how loud the FX return signal sounds.

EFFECTS LOOP SEND: 

 Connect the input of your external effect to this socket. A ‘side chain’effects loop allows you to 

connect external effects such as tremolos, chorus and delays to your amplifier.  Signal leaves the amplifier via the `Send’ socket 
and comes back from the effects via the `Return` socket. Some Effects are better suited to being between the guitar and 
amplifer input - these are foot pedal types / distortion / wah wah pedals etc. Rack mount effects will work better in the FX 
loop on the amplifer rear.  Stomp boxes are normally designed for small signals such as a guitar output whereas rack mount FX 
are designed for the higher signal level obtained from an FX send.

FOOTSWITCH SOCKET:

 Provided for the connection of the included Laney FS2 footswitch.This allows you to remotely 

switch between the clean/drive channel and switch the built in reverb On/Off.
