LOOP  FX:  Stereo  fx  loop  placed  between  the  I.R.  and  the  final  outputs.  Connect  your 

favorite outboard effevts like delays, reverbs, etc. here. 

 

TO SPEAKER: this is the "through" jack for if you want to use a real cabinet. When the TO 

SPEAKER output is used, the internal load is bypassed, the amplifier will see only the real 
connected  cabinet  as  the  load.  Be  sure  to  match  the  impedance  of  the  amplifier  with 
your cabinet 

 

LINE OUT: the line level signal coming from the reactive load, without the I.R. processing 

applied.  

 

LINE OUT LEVEL: the volume control of the line out. 

 

FROM AMP OUT: this is where you must connect the output of your amplifier.  

 

MIDI INPUT/THRU: Midi input and thru ports for midi connection. Switch between the I.R. 

by sending Midi CC's to the Amp Central.  

 

USB: connect to your PC/MAC for uploading your own favorite I.R.'s. 

 

DC IN: use the supplied power supply, or be sure to use one rated at 9 to 12V negative 

center and at least with a current output of 300mA.
