Connecting to the inserts on an instrument
amplifier:
The insert send on a guitar or bass amp is usually labeled "effects
send and return" or "insert send and return". This allows you
to preamplify your instrument before phasing it and sending it
to the power amp.
Most guitar amps are single channel, so connect a single insert
cable (see page 19) from the amp to the LEFT INPUT and LEFT
OUTPUT of the Philtre. Some amps have separate "effect send"
and "effect return" jacks; for these, use standard cables. Check
the manual of your amplifier for details.
If you are using a dedicated rack-mount preamplifier, another
method would be to insert the Philtre between the preamp and the
input(s) of the power amp.
