-When going direct into a mixer/recorder, work with the input trim control on
the mixer and be sure not to overload its input.
SPEAKER SIMULATOR
The
Speaker Simulator
is engaged at all times. It shapes the sound to match the
particular cabinet of the amp type selected. It is specifically designed for a smooth,
even response as would be achieved by a multiple-miked cabinet, without peaks,
valleys, and notches associated with single miking.Therefore, it will not adversely
affect or interfere with the sound of your own guitar speaker cabinet.
When you disengage all 3 channels, the
Speaker Simulator
remains active, as does
the
Master Output Section
.The switching sequence then becomes
Speaker Simulator
- Bypass,
Speaker Simulator
- Bypass, etc. This feature is useful to:
Record direct
with a pre-amp, fuzz box or any other stomp
boxes in your collection that could use some warming up.
Warm up
your favorite fuzz boxes in live performances, as well.
Use as a clean boost
into the input of a tube amp.
Suggested Initial Set-Up:
Turn all channels off.Turn the master
Volume
to maxi-
mum. Set
Bass
and
Treble
at 1 o’clock. Adjust to taste.
SIGNAL LEVEL TO INPUT
The TRI-O.D. is designed to accommodate instrument level signals to the
Input
,
such as the output of a guitar, the output of a pre-amp, the output of distortion
pedals, etc. Signal level to
Input
should be close to that of a standard electric guitar
(approx -10dB / 250mV). NOTE: Using hot pickups will increase the gain structure
of the TRI-O.D. For best results, use single coil pickups with
Channel 1
(
Tweed
) and
double coil pickups with
Channels 2
and
3
(
California
and
British
).
REMEMBER THIS WARNING:
DO NOT run the speaker output of
any
amp directly into the TRI-O.D.
Severe damage to the amp and/or the TRI-O.D. may result.
