You can also use all three-speaker jacks at the same time with different speakers. The
Convertible 2000's
strong transformer can handle almost any load with no damage.
10. Slave Out:
Use this jack for patching the output signal of the amp directly into a mixer, tape
recorder, or another amp. Just use a regular guitar cord from Slave Out to the guitar input of the
other unit. The circuit is wired after the output stage so all Tone, Volume, Damping Control
Effects Loop, etc. controls will affect
the
outgoing signal. Output is one volt at full power.
Load Resistor Plug Values & Sound Effects
The Front Panel section includes suggestions for altering the amplifier input impedance to match
the impedance of the pickup(s) in your instrument. (See the paragraph describing the Load
Resistor Input on Page 9.)
The information in the chart below and the instructions that follow have been provided to enable
you to further customize your sound by making your own load plugs using capacitors, resistors
and RCA input plugs available at most hardware or electronics stores. Various capacitance and
resistance values are given, with a description of their overall effect on your sound.

How to make a load resistor plug:
Purchase raw RCA plugs and resistors at an electronics hardware store. Using a single resistor
with a value of 1K O - 4.7M O 1/8 watt or 1/4 watt, simply solder it to the hot (pin) and to the
ground (crown). You can also try different value capacitors with physical size being your only
limitation. For reference, you may want to examine one of the supplied load plugs and compare.
