100W. It’s simply a wrong habit. While Amp Central is safely rated up to 100W, we do recommend to use your amplifier at the same volume as you would use with a regular cabinet, or just a bit more perhaps.

With this in mind we built the very first stage of the Amp Central, by creating a proper Dummy Load, or better, a Reactive/Resistive Load, to mimic at the closest possible approximation of a real cabinet.

We think it’s better to start slow and to understand the workings of the Amp Central before diving in and trying the unit. What you need to know to proceed in the safest way, is to consider the Amp Central as a normal guitar cabinet.
• HEADPHONE LEVEL: this pot controls the output volume of your headphones. Everything coming into the Amp Central both from your amplifier or LINE IN will be affected by this control, using the heaphones output. •...
FROM AMP OUT: this is where you must connect the output of your amplifier. • MIDI INPUT/THRU: Midi input and thru ports for midi connection. Switch between the I.R. by sending Midi CC's to the Amp Central. • USB: connect to your PC/MAC for uploading your own favorite I.R.'s.

We decided to place a stereo fx loop in the AMP CENTRAL to let you insert you favorite external effects in the chain. The fx loop is placed between the IR LOADER section and the output of the Amp Central, so this means you’re sending the already processed amp signal with the Impulse...

AMPCENTRAL device before you copy/past or substitute I.R.'s. OUTPUTS On the back of Amp Central there are two sets of outputs. One is unbalanced (jack connectors), the other one is fully balanced. They are the same outputs but in a different format, XLR can be very convenient to quickly wire the Amp Central to FOH mixers or soundcards.
MIDI CHANNEL LIST: MIDI CHANNEL BANK CABINET This is the Control Change list, one for each I.R. Please remember, to select an I.R. on the desired CC, you need to send a value equal or greater than 64 for that desired Control Change: Control Change BANK CABINET...
