Section 2 - Using the Mirage JT50/JT100

Getting Started

Making Connections

The Mirage JT50 and JT100 include the necessary options to use the amps live, at home, or in studio applications. The following diagrams
outline a few of these set up options.

Plug and Play

The JT50/JT100 come ready to play from the factory. Just connecting your guitar to the input is the only connection required to get great
sounds. 

Direct Out

The Headphone output on the JT50 and JT100 provides a speaker compensated direct output for connecting to a recording console, or a
house PA system. This type of a set up allows you to deliver your sound to the mixer without the use (or ambient noise) of a microphone.
The direct out is a stereo signal at a single 1/4” TRS jack. To access the stereo direct out signal, you need to use a stereo Y cord with a TRS
male 1/4” plug. Connect the male TRS plug to the headphone jack on the JT50/JT100. Then connect each end of the Y to individual channels
on the mixer. Using the Headphone Direct Out disables the speaker(s) in the JT50/JT100. To enable the speaker while using the direct out,
press the Tap-It/Shift button while inserting the plug into the Headphone jack.
