When the engage light is turned off, the high and low pass filters are bypassed. In bypass, the preamp stages and summing stages remain active, allowing both the INPUT (TS / TRS) and EXT MIC inputs to be combined with no tonal coloration.

ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONS DUAL SOURCE mode is also intended for use with a stan- dard (TS) instrument cable feeding the INPUT jack along with a external MICROPHONE feeding the EXT MIC jack. Using DUAL SOURCE mode, it is also possible to combine both a TRS input carrying two audio sources with a third audio signal feeding the EXT MIC jack.
