AUX i EFX LOOP
The AUX-IN mini-jack socket allows send a signal from an external sound source, which
will be heard only in headphones. This option will be useful for recordings, exercises with
background music, metronome, etc. The EFX-LOOP sockets (4-rear and 5-rear) are
used to connect sound effects in the preamp path. They are led out after the EQ. and
DRIVE section, are mainly used for effects such as Delay, Octaver, Volume Pedal, Noise
Gate and Equalizer. The SEND in EFX LOOP section sends a signal to the external
effect INPUT, while the RETURN is used to connect the signal return from the external
effect OUTPUT.
The MASSIVE option that's a unique feature of the amp, which makes the guitar sound
very saturated with a great sustain. MASSIVE is activated by a switch (12-front). In the
middle position MASSIVE is OFF, in positions 1 and 2 two different saturation levels are
to choose from. MASSIVE perfectly complements guitar sound, especially improves the
performance of Single Coil pickups. The signal of this pickups usually is too weak to
achieve strong distortion. MASSIVE changes this situation, making each configuration
of pickups sounding much richer and warmer.
The amplifier is equipped with an unique feature that allows connect not only a guitar
cabinet but also a full-range PA as well as a Hi-Fi cabinet. The analog module with the
SPEAKER CABINET SELECTOR switch is used to choose one of the options.
If a guitar cabinet has to be used, set the switch (9-front) to the GUITAR position, if a
broadband cabinet, set the switch
(9-front) in the FULL RANGE position. Then the simulation of a guitar cabinet will be
turned on, which will make the guitar sound on a PA (or Hi-Fi ) cabinet the same as
throughout guitar cabinet.
If a full-range speaker is used, the background music signal played from the
BLUETOOTH device will be reproduced as recorded, in full range (wide-band) but the
guitar will join the backing track with its own path with a sound characteristic of a guitar
cabinet.
The amplifier detects the impedance of the speaker itself, adjusting the parameters of
the amplifier to the connected cabinet. 4-8-16ohm speakers can be use, in each case the
amplifier power remains at the same level.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth enables wireless playback of sound files send from a phone, tablet, etc.
This feature allows practicing with background music. BLUETOOTH is activated
using a switch (7-back), the communication status is indicated by a blue LED (8-
back). Fast flashing indicates connection searching status, slow flashing indicates
connection status with another BLUETOOTH device. The signal transmitted from the
BLUETOOTH device is heard in the headphones and loudspeaker.
