SEND Level Control
Some effects units have meters on them
to show you what level of signal they are
receiving and some do not. For those
that do not have them, simply turn the
send level control up until you are happy
with the volume, or until your effects
begin clipping, in which case you are
driving them too hard and have found
your maximum setting. The master
volume controls on the amp also work
as return signal controls, so they will
need to be adjusted once your send level
is set up in order to drive the power amp
to your desired volume.

FX Loop On/Off
The amplifiers foot switch (button #3
in control mode – see 7.2) is used to
switch the effects loop
in and out
of the
signal path to make it easier to apply
and remove effects to the guitar signal
on the fly. When the effects loop is being
used (On), the send level control on the
amplifier must be set to send the signal
level that is required by the effects units
or pedals being used. Because this level
control can get messed with when mov-
ing the amp from place to place, venue
to venue, we also found the need to add
an
on and off
ability to the amp, to pre-
vent a gig or jam from going bad when
the effects loop is switched in and your
instrument drops out of the mix because
the level control was turned off com-
pletely by accident. (Hey, it’s happened,
and we’re just trying to help you so your
drummer can’t rub it in later!)
If you did forget to set up the FX loop
and turn it on, when you press button
#3 on the foot switch, it will simply flash
the LED a few times letting you know it’s
not going to put the loop
in
, because it
has not been turned
on
, saving you from
your instrument dropping out of the mix.
You might not have effects, but at least
you can still be heard!
So, for the switchable effects loop to be
used, it must be turned on. This is done
on the amplifier itself only and cannot
be turned on by the foot switch. But
when turning it on, be sure to set the
send level control accordingly so that
you will be heard.
to have the send level control and FX Loop jacks removed from the signal path. It is
designed to be of the highest quality possible and is transparent. It is tube driven
with the send output buffered at 900 ohms.
Note: The Generator is set by default to start up with the FX Loop turned off. If you want
to bypass the features benefits as described below, and want the FX loop to turn on
automatically at start up, simply turn the power off on the amplifier, press the FX Loop
toggle switch up and hold it, then turn the main power switch to the on position. The
FX Loop LED will flash and immediately turn the loop on. Now whenever you turn the
amplifier on, the FX loop will also be on.
Note: The effects loop will need to be turned on in order to be controlled via MIDI Pro-
gram patches as well, unless it is set to turn on automatically at power up.
