REAR PANEL
(38) MIDI In/Footswitch
This 8-pin DIN connector is provided for the connection of the remote footcontroller. Preferably this
should be connected before the amp is powered up. See the FOOTCONTROLLER section of this manual
for a more detailed explanation of operation.
This can also be used as a MIDI IN connection, using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable, if the amp is going to
be controlled by a separate MIDI controller other than the supplied footcontroller. See the MIDI section of
this manual for a more detailed explanation of the MIDI features.
(39) MIDI Out
This 5-pin DIN connector is provided to send MIDI messages, including Program Change and Continuous
Controller messages, to external MIDI devices. It is useful for linking two amps and keeping their
functions synchronized, and for sending your custom preset data to another amp or MIDI backup device.
It's also useful to control presets on effect units you may have in the effects loops. See the MIDI section
of this manual for a more detailed explanation of the MIDI features.
Effects Loop 1
This is the dedicated effects loop for Channel 1. It will only be available for use when Channel 1 is
selected. It can be switched on and off using the footcontroller.
(40) Level
This control sets the level of Channel 1 signal being sent to external effects and/or signal processors
from the Send jack (41) underneath. The control is calibrated so that, with most effects, the mid point
setting will produce basically the same level when switching the loop on or off. However, it will give
approximately a +/-10dB variation in either direction if required to achieve the desired balance with the
loop on or off.
(41) Send
This ¼" mono (TS) jack is to connect to the input of an external effect or signal processor.
It will only send signal if Channel 1 and Effects Loop 1 are selected.
Use shielded cable with ¼" mono (TS) phone plugs for all effects loop connections.
(42) Return
This ¼" mono (TS) jack is to connect to the output of an external effect or signal processor.
(43) Mix
The precise function of this control is dependant on the setting of the Global switch (49).
If Global is set to Series then this control sets the mix between the normal (dry) sound of Channel 1 and
the sound of the effect being used in Effects Loop 1. Fully counter-clockwise will be just the normal dry
sound (no effects); turning clockwise will increase the amount of the effect heard until fully clockwise
where only the sound from the effect/processor is heard.
