Connecting audio

The Phlngr 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 Phlngr is a stereo
effect unit, it's important to know whether the source and/or
the system will be stereo or mono. The Phlngr is great for
taking a mono source and making it into a complex, layered
stereo signal, or it can take a stereo signal and flange each side
separately.
Note that whenever a connection is made to the [RIGHT INPUT]
of the Phlngr, it will keep the outputs discrete (left to left, right to
right), unless the TYPE is set to DEEP MONO.
Mono In, Mono or Stereo Out
If you're connecting a guitar or bass directly to the Phlngr, hook it
up this way:
1. Connect a 1/4" phone cord to the [LEFT/MONO] INPUT
of the Phlngr from any mono source. (The Left input will
then feed both outputs of the effect.)
2. Connect another 1/4" phone cord from the LEFT OUTPUT
of the Phlngr to the amp or mixer input.
3. If the amp or mixer is stereo, connect a second 1/4" phone
cord from the RIGHT OUTPUT of the Phlngr 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.
