The VT250FX has two jacks (L/R) because it is a stereo amplifier.
(34) Use the FOOTSWITCH jack to connect the 1/4" TRS plug of the footswitch
supplied with the unit. The footswitch performs a dual function: it switches
between the two channels and turns the DIGITAL FX on and off.

If you want to practice with headphones, connect your headphones to the
PHONES jack. The built-in loudspeaker will be muted automatically. Connect the
dual footswitch supplied with the unit to the FOOTSWITCH jack on the VIRTUBE.

If you want to use your VIRTUBE in a home-recording or studio environment,
please wire it as shown in Fig. 3.2. Of course, you can still use a CD player
or drum computer in this set-up. This is not shown here to provide for a
better overview. Connect the input of the effects device to the FX SEND and
the effects output to the FX RETURN.
If you want to record your guitar signal with effects, connect the PHONES output
to your mixing console, audio sequencer or multi-track recorder.
To record a "dry" guitar signal with no effect, it is best to use the FX SEND
connector. You can use both outputs at the same time, for example, to record
signals via the FX SEND output (no effect), while monitoring them via the PHONES
output (with effect).
Instead of an external 19" effects processor, you can also use a wah-wah pedal
or other stomp box. However, please note that the FX LOOP is post-preamp,
i.e. after the distortion stages.
