Connections
Connecting to the Main Outputs of a mixing
console:
In addition to channel inserts, most mixing consoles have main
insert jacks near the main outputs. You can use insert cables to
connect the Ampliton to the main L/R bus the same way you
connect it to a pair of channels. Simply connect one insert cable
to the left main insert of the mixer, and connect the two mono
jacks to the left INPUT and OUTPUT of the Ampliton. Use
another insert cable to connect the right main insert to the right
INPUT and OUTPUT of the Ampliton.
Alternatively, you could plug the mixing console's main outputs
directly into the Ampliton's inputs, then feed the Ampliton's
outputs to your monitor amps or mixdown recorder. However,
with this method if you fade down the volume at the end of the
song, the sound quality may change as you fade. That's why it's
better to use insert jacks, if they're available.
Connecting to the Effect Send/Return of a
mixing console:
Since the ModFX boxes don't have a wet/dry mix control, they're
designed more for in-line processing than the send/receive kind of
processing typically used for reverb units. However, plugging the
Ampliton into a mixer's effect send/return loop will allow you to
flange a mix of several instruments, from any mixer channel that
has its effect send raised.
To do this, connect a single cable from the Effect Send Out
(sometimes labeled "Aux Out") to the [LEFT/MONO] input of
the Ampliton. Use two separate cables to connect the [LEFT
OUTPUT] and [RIGHT OUTPUT] of the Ampliton to the left
and right inputs of a Stereo Effect Return, or to two adjacent
mixer channels panned to left and right.
