Setting Effects Loop levels

1. After you connect the amp's Send and Return with the signal processor's input and output, set the
amp's Send Level and Return Level between 1 and 2.
2. Plug in your guitar, turn on the signal processor, and then turn on the amp (or flip the standby switch).
3. Set the amp's Effects Loop Send Level and the
signal processor's input level so that you don't over-
load the processor. Keep your ears open for
unwanted distortion from the signal processor
(you'll know it by its crackly, unmusical sound).
Whack a few chords on your guitar to check that
your settings are correct.
4. Now turn up the Effects Loop Return knob until the proper volume and overdrive are dialed in.
You'll probably have to experiment with the signal processor's output level until you get the best sound
and lowest amount of noise.
5. Make sure that you set your straight/effects blend at the signal processor, since all of your preamp's
signal is passed through the Effects Loop. Do not use an effects-only output to return from the proces-
sor to the amp. Always use the "mix" output, if the unit has one.
The Effects Loop Send is configured so that it is always active, so you can use it as a variable output.
Note: If you use the Send to drive slave amps, etc., and have nothing plugged into the Return jack, the
signal still passes from the preamp to the power amp.
