L and R Speaker Outputs from Power Amp
If you use overdrive distortion, it's usually better to create the overdrive before
sending the signal to the LXP-15 to ensure that the effects don't change the
quantity and quality of your distortion. In this setup, you need a guitar pream-
plifier or a guitar amp with a direct output. Feed this signal to either of the LXP-
15 inputs, and then on to a stereo power amp or a pair of guitar amps. (A few
guitar amplifiers become unhappy if they are operated without speakers
connected. Consult the amp manufacturer for details.)
You can use the effects send and return connectors on a mono guitar amp to
obtain similar results. Adjust the LXP-15 output level so that the amp produces
the same output with the LXP-15 as it does without it.
WARNING! Never connect speaker outputs from a
guitar amp to the LXP-15. Doing so can cause
serious damage which is not covered by the LXP-15
warranty. On some guitar amplifiers it is very easy to
accidentally use a speaker output instead of a direct
or effects output. BE CAREFUL!
