    3. OUT-2, 3 & 4: Transformer isolated outputs to eliminate ground loops and help reduce hum and buzz. 4. IN-1 MONO: When used alone, sets the Shotgun to the 1x4 mono mode with input-1 driving all four outputs. 5. IN-2 STEREO: When used, changes the circuit from 1x4 mono to 2x2 stereo to allow stereo sources such as a chorus to drive 1 or 2 sets of amps.
  • Page 5: Overview

    Technically speaking, the Shotgun is a unity gain guitar distribution amplifier. Simply put, it lets you drive several guitar amps at the same time without messing with your gain structure. What is particularly cool about the Shotgun is that it can be used either as a 1x4 (mono) distro or a 2x2 (stereo) distro depending on how it is connected.
  • Page 6: Making Connections

    Once the signal has passed through the Shotgun, longer cables may be used as the Shotgun will buffer the signal and lower the impedance to enable cable distances up to 15 meters (50') without appreciable noise. The Shotgun is a unity gain device.

    Simply connect the left and right outputs from your chorus to the Shotgun’s 1 and 2 inputs. Once connected to input-2, the Shotgun will automatically shift from mono-mode to stereo-mode. When in stereo-mode, input-1 is routed to outputs 1 and 2, while input-2 is routed to outputs 3 and 4.
