Page 9: Polarity Reverse And Mounting
® The PolAriTy reverSe Both of the Twinline effects loops are equipped with a polarity ‘invert’ switch. Some amplifiers will invert the phase as it goes through the signal path. Correct this by depressing the PHASE INVERT switch. When out of phase, one amp will sound more distant then the other. -
Page 10: Remote Controlling The Twinline
However, if you consider all of these cables going back and forth to the Twinline and your amps, when playing live, it is best to keep the Twinline near your amp where you can hide the cable mess and keep the cables as short as possible in order to reduce susceptibility to noise. - Page 11 Connect a latching footswitch with ¼” connector to the JR2 jack on the Twinline. Once depressed, this will toggle the effects loops from Amp-1 to Amp-2. The LED indicators on the Twinline front panel will let you know which amp effects loop is active.
- Page 12 ® uSinG A midi SwiTCher A great way to toggle the Twinline is to use a MIDI footswitch controller. Simply take the latching contact closure output from your MIDI controller and connect it to the Twinline remote input. You can also use second contact closure to bypass the effects loops by creating the following dual mono to stereo connection.
