Be sure to set all of the DRAG / TRIM switches in the in (DRAG) position
and potentiometers turned are fully clockwise (5 o’clock). Make sure
input-1 is active and output A is on. Turn on your amp and slowly increase
the volume. Once satisfied that things are working as they should, add a
second guitar by connecting it to input-2. Toggle between them using the
front panel selector switches.
You can now add a second amp by connecting it from output-B. Use the
front panel selector switch to toggle between your amps. Output-B on the
JX-42 is transformer isolated in order to prevent hum and buzz caused
by ground loops.
CAUTION: For safety, always ensure your guitar amplifiers are
properly grounded following your local electrical code. Never remove
the electrical ground. It is there to save your life!
It is good practice to connect all your amps and pedals using a common
power bar. This helps reduce noise while ensuring all of your equipment
is sharing a single common electrical ground.
There is also a THRU output on each channel. This non-buffered output
allows you to take a signal direct from the instrument to feed a specific
guitar amp, direct box or maybe an effects processor.
