INPUT JACKS - LOW AND HIGH
Connect the output of your guitar to one of the 1/4”input jacks with a shielded guitar cable. Select
LOW for normal, or HIGH for extra gain. Plugging into the LOW input will attenuate your guitar’s
signal cooling down a “hot” guitar. These two jacks provide slightly different input levels. Experi-
ment with these and adjust to your tastes.

1) When using headphones or the line out jack on the back panel engage the Speaker Simulator for a
“model” of the internal speaker - this is ideal for direct recording or jamming along with CDs or tapes in the
headphones.
2) Engaging the Speaker Sim when you are NOT using headphones or the line out will provide a
“creamier” tone to the EQ section. Experient with this and select different pickups on your guitar...there is a
