EFFECTS LOOP RETURN
.” instrument jack can be used to directly interface the power
amp, thereby bypassing the preamp and using the amplifier as a power amplifier.
Conversely, this is usually used as the RETURN of the effects loop. Plug the output of your
effects unit, or interface device into this jack using .” instrument cable. The effects loop
Return in this amplifier is active and tube driven with a level control.
By using the Send and Return Levek controls you can balance the correct level for your
effects unit, or interface device.
EFFECTS LOOP SEND/RETURN VOLUME CONTROLS
with these controls you can set
the SEND level and the RETURN level. This allows you to match levels from the smallest
floor effect to a large studio rack effect. These controls come after the MASTER volume on
the front of the amp. As you turn up the MASTER control on the front, it effects the levels of
the effects loop. A good rule of thumb is to get the sound and volume level you want to play
at, then ENGAGE the effects loop and set levels. First set the SEND level to not distort your
effect, if your effect has a level indicator use that, if not you will have to use your ears and
make sure you are not distorting your effect with to much signal. Then using the ENGAGE
button set the RETURN volume so there is no level change when the button is in or out.
ENGAGE
This turns the Effects Loop on and off, the switch will go from black (off) to orange
(on)
FOOT PEDAL ENGAGE
This switch
changes the amplifier from channel one to channel
two, which is either the front row of knobs or back row of knobs on the front of the amp.
FOOT PEDAL JACK
You can use the provided foot switch, or a standard 1/4" plug
connected to
a foot switch with a latching switch.
FOOT PEDAL
The provided foot switch pedal
has an indicator light which can be powered
by a 9v internal battery (not included), or by the 2.1mm jack on the back of the pedal
.
This jack can be powered by any standard pedal power supply with a center tip ground.
If you power it by the internal battery make sure you switch the light off when not in use or it
