CONNECTING THE SGI-44
Begin by placing the SGI-44 at your remote pedalboard and connecting the
included 15VDC power supply. Once connected the POWER LED on the SGI-44
will illuminate.
Next, Connect your effect pedals to the SGI-44’s ¼” input and output jacks using
standard guitar cables. The SGI-44 includes a dedicated Tuner output should
you wish to connect a tuner pedal for use on stage.
Then make the balanced connections between the JX44 and the SGI-44 using
XLR mic cables. The TX (transmit) output from the JX44 connects to the RX
(receive) input on the SGI-44
.
The SGI Loop is completed by connecting the TX
output from the SGI-44 to the RX input on the JX44.
Once your cables are connected press the SGI ON switch on the rear panel of
the JX44. An LED below this switch will illuminate to show the SGI Loop is active
and you will hear your pedalboard effects across any active amplifier output,
regardless of whether the EFX Assign switch is set to L, R, or DRY.
Both the JX44 and the SGI-44 are transformer isolated to eliminate noise caused
by ground loops. If you hear hum or buzz after connecting and testing the SGI
Loop, try toggling the Lift switches on both the SGI-44 and on the rear panel of
the JX44.
EXAMPLE: WIRELESS GUITARS AND A REMOTE PEDALBOARD
In this application the JX44 is located near the player’s wireless receivers and guitar amplifiers. The SGI-44 and
JR-5 reside on the player’s pedalboard. The signal starts at the guitar through the wireless link to the receiver. From
the receiver it flows into the JX44 inputs. At this point the SGI Loop sends the signal out to the pedals and back
again via the SGI-44 interface. The artist can enjoy the freedom of the wireless guitar and have their pedals out front
at their feet along with the JR-5 remote to control amplifier or instrument switching.
