4. Loop
The mono effects loop handles both the send and return with a single socket using
a TRS connection. Use the supplied TRS signal splitter cable to separate the send
and return and place your own external effects and stomp boxes ‘in the loop’ for
the best sonic performance. Connect the mono input of external effects units to
the effects send and the output of external effects units to the effects return. The
effects loop send is taken before the Master control.
The default for the effects loop is for it to be placed before the onboard Reverb in
the signal chain. This setting can be changed using Blackstar’s Architect software
and saved to the amp.
The effects loop is set to series routing as default. The effects loop can also be
configured to operate in parallel. Use Blackstar’s Architect software to change and
save the effects loop routing. When set to parallel, Architect also provides control
over the effects loop return level.
TIP: The typical use of a parallel effects loop is to run the looped effects on full
‘wet’ or ‘kill dry’. This eliminates the dry signal from the effects loop and offers more
control over the wet/dry mix within the amplifier.
NOTE: If the effects loop is set to parallel, running effects in the loop that contain
a dry signal will result in a level boost when mixed back with the dry pass-through
at the effects loop return.
5. Speaker Outputs
Connect a suitable guitar speaker cabinet to the matching impedance Speaker
Output:
The output marked ‘16 OHM’ is for the connection of a single 16 ohm speaker
cabinet.
The output marked ‘8 OHM’ is for the connection of a single 8 ohm speaker
cabinet.
AMPED 1 can deliver its full 100W of power at 8 or 16 ohm impedances.
NOTE: Always use a good quality speaker cable for speaker outputs.
WARNING: Do not use both speaker outputs at the same time, doing so will
damage your amplifier. Connect the speaker cable to your cabinet first, then your
AMPED pedal.
NOTE: If the speaker lead is disconnected at the amplifier end then your AMPED
pedal will automatically switch to a safe, low power consumption mode. Therefore,
for example, if you wish to record using the output from either the XLR, stereo jack,
or USB, then you can set it on your desk without any need to be connected to a
speaker load.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The protection sensing is at the speaker output jacks on the
unit. Do not disconnect at the speaker end only. Disconnect at the amp!
