Connecting audio
The Philtre will work in many different applications, whether you
are connecting an instrument directly into it, or connecting it
through a mixing console. But since the Philtre is a stereo
effect unit, it's important to know whether the source will be
stereo or mono.
Mono In, Mono or Stereo Out
If you're connecting a guitar or bass directly to the Philtre, hook it
up this way:
1. Connect a 1/4" phone cord to the [LEFT/MONO] INPUT
of the Philtre from a mono source. (The Left input will then
feed both inputs of the effect.)
2. Connect another 1/4" phone cord from the LEFT OUTPUT
of the Philtre to an amplification system or mixer input.
3. If the amp or mixer is stereo, connect a second 1/4" phone
cord from the RIGHT OUTPUT of the Philtre to the other
input of the stereo amplification system, or the next mixer
input.
4. If you're connecting directly to a stereo mixer, pan the two
channels hard left and hard right to get the maximum effect.
