1) AC Line Input - Connect the supplied power cord here.
2) MIDI In - The MIDI In port allows the 2120 VGS to respond to incoming MIDI messages, including Program Change, Continuous Control,
and System Exclusive data.
3) MIDI Out/Thru - Sends out or passes any MIDI data generated by the 2120 VGS to other devices.
4) Control One Input - This is a 5-pin DIN plug for connecting the included DigiTech 2120 FC foot controller. Connection of the 2120 FC
should be made before the 2120 VGS is turned on.
IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT A MIDI PORT. CONNECTING A DEVICE OTHER THAN THE DIGITECH 2120 FC TO THE JACK CAN
DAMAGE THE UNIT.
5) Expression Pedal Input - This 1/4" input jack gives you the option of connecting external passive volume control pedals for controlling
parameters in the 2120 VGS m.
Notice: When using the 2120 VGS with the 2120 FC foot controller, the 1/4 expression pedal input on the rear of the unit is referred
to as EXP 3. When the 2120 VGS is used alone, the expression pedal input becomes known as EXP 1.
6) FX Loop Level Switch - This switch gives you the option of either standard level (switch out), or a 6 dB cut (switch in) in the fx loop level.
This is ideal to use when inserting an FX pedal that may not have the same output level to keep the level even in the chain
7) FX Send - This is the effects loop mono send jack. Connect the input of an external effect device here. The send gets its signal immediately
following the Analog Wah module. It is a balanced-TRS connector.
8) FX Return - This is the effects loop return. It is fed back into the signal chain before the distortion sections of the 2120.
9) Left/Mono Output - This is the left audio output. Use both left and right outputs when you are running in stereo mode. If you are running
in mono mode, use the Left output and selectable mono mode in the utilities section. It is a balanced-TRS connector. Page 11 of the Utilities
mode gives you the option to select either Stereo or Mono output modes.
10) Right Output - This is the right audio output for use when running in stereo mode. This is a balanced-TRS connector.
11) AC fuse receptacle - Direct access to the fuse can be reached here.
