9. ANNEX

9.1 THE TYPES OF CONNECTORS USED

Unbalanced 6.3 mm jack connector

Balanced 6.3 mm jack connector

Used for the following sockets:

Inputs L/Mono,R - rear

Outputs L/Mono,R - rear

Guitar Input - front

9.2 GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED

•

Bypass: As its name suggests, allows the user to listen to the sound with and without one

or more sound modification effects, by bypassing those not required.

•

Compare: procedure for comparing two sounds. Normally used during editing to verify the

quality of the changes made.

•

dB: abbreviation of Decibel, unit of measurement of acoustic pressure.

•

Display: liquid crystal display which shows all the information for the man/device dialogue in

graphic or text form.

•

Dsp: abbreviation of Digital Signal Processor.

•

Edit: function for modification of the device parameters.

•

Foot Controller: type of pedal control unit. Allows commands to be given to the device

while playing is in progress, and of course the performer's hands are busy.

•

Jack: type of connection very widely used in the musical sector (see diagram on types of

connectors used).

•

LED: abbreviation of Light Emitting Diode. An electronic component which is widely used

thanks to its reliability and low energy consumption.

•

Overload: situation where a circuit is overloaded because the input signal is too high. The

main cause of distortion.

•

P.A. system: sound amplification system.

•

Patch: a combination of programming parameters which are saved in a memory location for

instantaneous recall.

•

Play: condition of use where the device is actually performing the music.

•

Pedal Switch: pedal which acts as an on/off switch.

•

Utility: utility function. These are often device setting and setup functions.

•

Write: function for writing a patch in a memory location.
