EFFECTS:
The EFFECTS LOOP section of the
M-PULSE
is responsible for handling the interfacing of external signal process-
ing. It is also comprised of four elements and they are;
(1)
a SEND jack,
(2)
a RETURN jack,
(3)
a MIX control and
(4)
a Program
switch. Their functions are as follows;
SEND:
This is the output of the pre-amp and allows you to send a signal to your effects for processing.
RETURN:
This is the patch point between the pre-amp and power amp for returning a processed signal
from your outboard effects back to the
M-PULSE.
Because this is an input to the power amp, the RE-
TURN jack can be used to access the power amp only. This is handy to use the
M-PULSE
as a slave
power amp or when multiple
M-PULSE
units are connected for large venue applications.
MIX:
(RETURN) This rotary control determines the mix blend between the RETURN jacks’ wet signal-and
the bypassed dry pre-amp signal. It allows a blend range from a
mostly
dry
10% to a
drenched
100% signal.
NOTE:
The best tonal results are usually found by setting your processors’ Dry/Wet blend at close to 100% and then blending a small
amount of this very wet signal back in, by setting the EFFECTS LOOP MIX control on the
M-PULSE
as close to 10% as possible.
In this way you preserve the rich integrity of your
M-PULSEs’
all-tube pre-amp sound by listening to a small amount of a very wet
external signal.
NOTE:
To use the
M-PULSE
as a slave power amp by connecting a signal to the RETURN jack, you must have the EFFECTS LOOP
turned ON (see next section) and the MIX control set to 100% or the input sensitivity will be weak, resulting in low output.
PROGRAM SWITCH:
(FS / ON) This mini toggle selects the EFFECTS LOOP mode you wish to use. The “F.S.” position enables you
to trigger the Loop remotely from the Footcontroller when it is connected to the FOOTSWITCH jack. The “ON” position activates the
Loop so that it is active all the time. Use the “ON” position when the Footcontroller is not in use.
NOTE:
The EFFECTS LOOP PROGRAM switch must be set to “ON” to use the
M-PULSE
as a slave power amp.
TUNER OUTPUT:
Connect a tuner to the 1/4 inch jack labeled
TUNER OUTPUT
(located just to the left of the DIN plug Foot-
switch jack when viewing the amplifier from the rear).
FOOTSWITCH:
This 5 pin DIN jack is the input for the
M-PULSE
Footcontroller. It supplies power to the Footcontroller and
accepts the logic from the switching matrix to control the switchable features. Should you misplace the cable, or need a longer one
(we will be offering longer cables). However, any standard 5 pin DIN midi cable will work.
Feel free to contact us directly and we’ll be happy to send you out another one for a nominal charge plus shipping
or visit your local
Mesa/Boogie
Pro Center.
Well, that pretty much does it for the features except for the most exciting feature of all...TONE. Now that you have a grasp of all the
M-PULSE
can do, the only thing left is to plug in and play.
