Special Effects - Art Tube Channel User Manual

Note: Be certain that you do not connect the Tube Channel's XLR
Output to a mixer input that has Phantom Power applied.
The Tube Channel has enough gain to be used in front of a power
amplifier. To use the Tube Channel as a instrument preamp, simply
plug the instrument into the Input jack and connect the Output jack to
the input of the power amplifier.See Loop Connections for further
hook-up options and for using single circuits in the Tube Channel.

Special Effects

For industrial, metal, or just "flavor" textures, experiment with the
Tube Channel. Overdriving the preamp, compressor and equalizer
circuitry can add interesting textures when blended with vocals and
other instruments. Placing signals purposely out of phase can also
yield interesting results. No harm will come to the Tube Channel with
this type of experimentation. However, be sure to have output and
monitoring levels turned DOWN before "testing" the sound.
Remember, you have a great amount of gain available in the Tube
Channel!
