GLOBAL Function
The first function displayed when turning the F
UNCTION
S
ELECT
control is the Global function. The parameters provided in
this function affect all presets (i.e. the settings stored for these parameters are the same for all presets).
The P
ARAMETER
S
ELECT
control will allow you to access the following Global parameters:
Parameter
Description
OUTPUT
The OUTPUT parameter determines the output configuration of the Taboo Twin. It is important
that this parameter is set correctly
In most situations, this parameter should be set to STEREO. When set to STEREO, one speaker
of the Taboo Twin provides the left channel output, while the other speaker provides the right
channel output.
When MONO is selected, the left and right outputs of the Taboo Twin are summed together,
and the same mono signal is fed through both speakers of the Taboo Twin, as well as each of
the outputs.
When using the Taboo Twin with an additional powered cabinet, it is common to set this
parameter to LEFT. When set to LEFT, both speakers of the Taboo Twin provide only the left
channel output, while the tip connection from the rear panel SEND jack provides the right
channel signal to be fed to the separate powered cabinet (see pages 15-16 for more information).
Note that this configuration requires a specially configured cable.
HUSH
The HUSH OFFSET parameter allows you to globally (all presets) adjust the HUSH
®
Expander
OFFSET
Threshold. This means that if this parameter is altered from 0dB to +3dB, the Expander Thresh-
old will be 3dB higher for all presets. This feature can be useful when switching from a quiet
guitar with passive electronics to a noisy guitar with active electronics - as the active guitar
would require a higher Threshold level in all presets.
MUTE
The MUTE parameter allows you to mute the output of the Taboo Twin. This feature is espe-
cially useful when changing guitars during a live set. If a Rocktron All Access
™
is used in
remote mode with the Taboo Twin, a single All Access button can be configured as a momen-
tary switch which will mute the output when it is held down. (See "Using a Taboo Twin with a
Rocktron All Access in REMOTE mode" in Chapter 7 for more information.)
