*An  Impulse  Response  is  in  layman's  terms  an  equalization,  or  a  “snapshot”  of  your  favorite  mic’ed 
cabinet,  to  be  applied  to  the  raw  sound  coming  out  of  your  loaded  amplifier.  T  in  return  act  as  the 
complete sound (amp + c mic) as you should hear from your studio monitors, or headphones.  

 
FIRST USAGE 
 
We  think  it’s  better  to  start  slow  and  to  understand  the  workings  of  the  Amp  Central  before 
diving in and trying the unit.  

What  you  need  to  know  to  proceed  in  the  safest  way,  is  to  consider  the  Amp  Central  as  a 
normal guitar cabinet. 

 

 

AMP CENTRAL HAS AN INTERNAL LOAD 
RATED UP TO 100W @ 8 OHM.  
 
USE  THE  8  ohm  tap  OUTPUT  OF  YOUR 
AMPLIFIER TO CONNECT IT TO THE AMP 
CENTRAL. 

 

Hit  the  standby  switch  of  your  amplifier 

ONLY  AFTER  PLUGGING  A  CABLE  FROM  THE 

OUTPUT OF YOUR AMPLIFIER TO “FROM AMP OUT” of the Amp Central. 
 

 
!!!! Do not attempt to connect your amplifier to the Amp Central in other "fancy" ways, your 
amp’s life is important! We are not responsible for any improper usage that could potentially 
lead to damage !!!!
