The FAT50‘s FX loop provides parallel or series operation and FX level setting. The rear panel control both switches
from parallel (DRY, hard left) to series (WET, fully clockwise) and mixes the FX signal in with the direct signal in
parallel mode (0 – 9). In series operation the power amp receives the FX signal only.
Caution: The FX control must be set to DRY when no effects are connected.
CoNNeCTiNG FX:
• Connect FX Send to the input of the effect, and the effect output to FX Return.
• Adjust the output level of the effect: turn the FX control fully clockwise (WET), set level short of clipping the FX
Return.
• Use the rear panel FX control to set the amount of effect mixed in with the direct signal.
The RETURN socket can also be used to connect another instrument, drum machine, MP3 player, etc. Use the FX
control to balance the guitar and additional signal levels.
