EFFECTS SEND
This jack's primary function is to send a post-EQ signal to an outboard effects device for use in the
Workingman's 2x10C Effects Loop. However, it can also be used as:
1. A line level output for use in conjunction with an additional (slave) power amp
−
such as SWR's
Power 750.
2. An unbalanced output suitable for recording or live mixing board purposes.
The output impedance of the Effects Send jack is 100 Ohms.
EFFECTS RECEIVE
This jack's primary function is to complete the Effects Loop circuit by routing the post-outboard-effects device
signal back into the power amp of the Workingman's 2x10C, where it can be blended back in with the original
signal by using the Effects Blend control on the front panel. However, it can also be used as:
1. A power amp input jack. If, for some reason, you wished to bypass the entire front end and use the
Workingman's 2x10C strictly as a powered monitor, you could take the output of whatever line-level audio
source you wished and connect it to this jack. Then, set the Effects Blend control to the full clockwise
("WET") position. Use the Master control to set the overall level, and your Workingman's 2x10C is now a
powered speaker cabinet.
2. An input for pre-recorded music, for playing along and practicing purposes. To accomplish this, insert a
CD player or other sound source into the Effects Receive jack. (It must be a MONO 1/4" plug that goes
into this input, so you'll have to use a stereo-to-mono cable adaptor of some kind.) You can adjust the
level of recorded music versus the "live" sound of your instrument by using both the Effects Blend control
(the more clockwise the control, the more pre-recorded music signal you'll hear) and the volume control
of your CD (or other) audio source. The mixed sound will be heard through your speaker(s). Besides pre-
recorded music, this is also an excellent way to practice along with a drum machine.
Input impedance of the Receive jack is 27k Ohms minimum.
NOTE
: Inserting a plug into the Effects Receive jack activates the Effects Blend control. The control receives
this command through the ground created by the phone plug making contact with the jack. The plug must
be a mono plug (tip and ground). If you have a stereo plug only, it will be necessary to tie the ring and the
ground together.
COMBO CABINET JACK/PLUG ASSEMBLY
The black cable/plug assembly that comes out of the cabinet and is connected to the rear panel (near the
text marked "Combo Cabinet") is the means by which the power amp in your Workingman's 2x10C sends its
signal to the speaker complement. Both the plug and the jack it connects to are a special size, slightly less
than the typical 1/4" found on instrument and speaker cables alike. SWR strongly recommends that you not
disconnect this cable, as it is not meant to be (nor can it be) used as either an extension speaker output or a
speaker cabinet input. For proper connection of an extension speaker to your Workingman's 2x10C, please
read below.
EXTENSION SPEAKER OUTPUT SECTION
EXTENSION SPEAKER OUTPUT SECTION
This section of the manual will deal with the proper connection of extension speaker cabinets to the power
amplifier in the Workingman's 2x10C. We recommend that you read this section carefully, as power
amplifiers, impedance and speaker cabinets are all crucial in determining how best to operate your new
Workingman's 2x10C with an extension speaker cabinet.
