STEP-3: ADJUSTING THE LEVEL
Start by setting the X-Amp’s input LEVEL
control to the 12 o’clock position. Play
the dry track and turn up your recorder/
mixer output until the CLIP LED on the
X-Amp blinks occasionally with peaks in
the recording. Now reduce the recorder/
mixer level a bit so the clip light does not
blink at all. This will ensure the X-Amp‘s
output signal is clean.
Next test the connection to your amp. It’s
a good idea to set up a clean sound on
your amp at first. This way you can hear
if there is any distortion or ground loop
hum. Turn your amp up to a comfortable
listening volume. If you encounter hum or
buzz, try depressing the X-Amp’s input
side GROUND LIFT switch.
Play the dry track while adjusting the X-Amp’s LEVEL control. This control
is used to ensure the signal coming from the dry track matches the level
from your guitar. Because guitar amplifiers do not have input level meters
this is done by plugging your guitar directly into your amp and taking note
of the level and tone. Afterwards, connect the X-Amp to your amp and
adjust the LEVEL control so that the level and tone is the same as when
the guitar is connected directly.
STEP-4: ADD A SECOND AMP
At this point you can also connect a second amplifier to the ISOLATED
OUT-2 ¼” jack. This output is transformer isolated to eliminate hum and
buzz caused by ground loops, a common problem when using two amps.
