Input Source Select

You have the choice of four different physical inputs: INPUT,
RETURN and S/PDIF INPUT.
Unlike the other parameters of the Input Section, the Input Source is set globally, rather than by Rig. It will therefore
not be saved in an input preset.
All four inputs have different applications, with two being dedicated to reamping purposes.
INPUT The standard instrument input with high impedance and low noise.
ALTERNATIVE The high-impedance ALTERNATIVE INPUT is located on the
INPUT useful in rack setups, either for connecting the instrument directly, or through a wireless
receiver. It is a bit noisier than the
