THE FRONT PANEL

1. LOW Z: Connect a low impedance micro-
phone here by means of a shielded signal cable
terminated with an XLR type connector.
2. HIGH Z: Connect a high impedance micro-
phone here by means of a shielded signal cable
terminated with a 1/4" connector.
3. LEVEL: Use this control to adjust the output
level of the mic channel.
4. LOW: Use this control to adjust the low fre-
quency level for the mic channel.
5. MID: Use this control to adjust the mid fre-
quency level for the mic channel.
6. HIGH: Use this control to adjust the high fre-
quency level for the mic channel.
7. DSP SEND: Use this control to adjust the
amount of Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
applied to the mic channel.
8. INSERT: Use this jack to connect an external
effects device to the amplifier. This is a stereo
1/4" jack, wired as follows:
Tip = Line In (Return - from effect out)
Ring = Line Out (Send - to effect in)
Sleeve = ground
More information on the Insert jack can be
found on page 8.

9. INSTRUMENT INPUT: Connect an instru-
ment, tape player, CD player, or high imped-
ance microphone here by means of a shielded
signal cable terminated with a 1/4" connector.
10: GAIN (Active only when the Channel Select
switch is depressed): Use this control to adjust
the gain for the instrument channel 1 – the
lower the setting, the lower the amount of dis-
tortion. As this control is rotated clockwise, the
distortion increases and the output signal
becomes louder.
11: SHAPE (Active only when the Channel Select
switch is depressed): Use this control to adjust
the tone of the instrument channel 1. Rotating
this control counterclockwise enhances mid
frequencies; rotating it clockwise enhances the
low and high frequencies.
12: LEVEL (Active only when the Channel Select
switch is depressed): Use this control to adjust
the output level of the instrument channel 1.
13. CHANNEL SELECT: Use this switch to
select channel 1 or 2 for the instrument input.
When this switch is depressed, the Gain,
Shape, and Level controls (#10 – 12) are active.
When this switch is in the out position, the Low,
Mid, High, and Level controls (#14 – 17) are
active. Channel 1 is typically used for electric
guitars since the Gain control can be cranked
to produce heavily overdriven distortion.
