5. RETURN SOCKET
Connect the output of your effects unit 
or the output of your second device (e.g. 
mixer, computer, second pickup on a gui-
tar, etc.) to this socket.

If you’re using the LEHLE PARALLEL SW 
II for parallel effects loops, connect the 
output of your effects unit to the Return 
socket. 
The Return socket can also be used as an 
input for other signal sources - the output 
from a computer sound card, for exam-
ple, or from a signal processor.

If the LEHLE PARALLEL SW II is being used 
to mix two pickups from one instrument, 
the Return socket can also be used as the 
input for the second pickup.

The Return socket has a 2 MOhm input 
impedance. This means that even very 
weak signals, such as those generated by 
piezo and magnetic pickups can be trans-
mitted without loss of sound. 

The Return input’s sensitivity can be ad-
justed using the controller (11).
Like every other socket, the return input 
can be used in stereo as well.
Please refer to paragraph “2. Mono-to-
stereo switch“ on page 8.

6. OUTPUT SOCKET
Connect your amplifier or the Return in-
put from the serial effects loop of your 
amplifier to this socket.

The device connected here will mostly be 
an amplifier, but can also be a mixer, a 
stage box or a sound card. 
The signal mixed from the input and the 
return signal is available here. 
The mixing ratio can be controlled using 
the MIX controller (10). 

Connect the output socket to the Return 
input of your amplifier if you want to use 
the LEHLE PARALLEL SW II to inject an 
external effect into your amplifier’s serial 
effects loop.

7. EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Connect a power supply with a voltage 
of 9 – 15 V.

In order for the LEHLE PARALLEL SW II 
to work flawlessly, it needs a current sup-
ply. This should supply a minimum of 9 V 
and a maximum of 15 V. Polarity is of no 
importance. 
The supply voltage is internally rectified 
and stabilized in order to guarantee trou-
ble-free operation. 
In order to avoid noise it‘s recommend-
able to use a single power supply or an 
output of a multi power supply offering 
galvanically isolated outputs for the LEH-
LE PARALLEL SW II.
