The Effects control blends the signal coming from your effects device
with the sound of your instrument. The Effects Loop is a side chain
design. Along with the Effects blend, this helps to maintain a truer or
more accurate signal. If your effect has a blend control, turn it all
the way up. See the Effects Loop section for more information.
If you don't hear a signal coming from your effects, or any other
device you may have plugged into the effects return jack, check the
position of the Effects control.
VOLUME CONTROL
The Volume Control adjusts the level at the Line Out (To Amp) jack
only. It DOES NOT affect the level at the XLR, Effects Send, Tuner,
or Channel Patch jacks. If the level is too "hot" or loud at these
points, turn down the Gain control. You can then readjust the level
at the Line out with the Volume.
POWER SWITCH
Pressing in the Power switch turns on your Master Blender as
indicated by the green LED lighting. Always be sure that your unit is
turned off when not in use to avoid draining the batteries.
IMPORTANT: Since there are turn on and turn off transients, turn
the Master Blender on BEFORE patching to other equpment and off
LAST.
MUTE SWITCH
There may be instances when you want to "mute" the signal going
to the XLR or Line out jacks, such as when tuning up or changing
instruments, etc. Pushing the Mute switch in stops the signal going
to the XLR and Line out jacks as indicated by the red LED lighting.
Push the switch again to return to normal as indicated by the green
Power LED lighting. It does not affect the Tuner, Effects Send, or
Channel Patch jacks.

LINE OUT JACK (To Amp)
Present at the line out is the blended signal of all inputs that are in
use. The level at this jack is adjusted by both the Gain and Volume
controls.Use this jack to send a signal to an amplifier or any piece of
equipment desired.
Always use a high quality shielded cable when using any of the input
and output jacks on your Master Blender.
TUNER SEND JACK
To tune up silently between songs without disturbing your band
mates or sound engineer, hook up a tuner to this jack and push the
Mute button. Since the Tuner Send is on a side chain, it does not
load down your instrument. Therefore, it is more desirable than
plugging your instrument directly into a tuner and then going to your
preamp or amp.
EFFECTS LOOP (SEND AND RECEIVE JACKS)
To use the Master Effects loop, plug a shielded cable from the SEND
