Rear Panel Controls

FX LOOP:

SERIES Operation:

The SEND jack plugs into the effects unit’s input jack. The SERIES

RETURN jack plugs into the effects unit’s output jack. The audio path of

the amplifier is interrupted and 100% of the signal is being sent to the

SEND jack. The S.LEVEL control is used to adjust the amount of signal

being sent to an effects unit. With stomp box pedals there are usually no

input level indicators. In this case you will have to use your ears to set the

S.LEVEL. Set the S.LEVEL up to the maximum setting just before you

start to hear the undesirable front end clipping of your effects pedal. This

setting of the S.LEVEL will usually be quite low for pedals. Setting the

S.LEVEL for rack units is easier since they have input indicators.

PARALLEL Operation:

Your original, dry tone is unaffected allowing you to mix in the amount of

effects. The SEND jack plugs into the effects unit’s input jack. The

PARALLEL RETURN jack plugs into the effects unit’s output jack. The

S.LEVEL control is used to adjust the amount of signal being sent to an

effects unit. With stomp box pedals there are usually no input level

indicators. In this case, again, you will have to use your ears to set the

S.LEVEL. Set the S.LEVEL up to the maximum setting just before you

start to hear the undesirable front end clipping of your effects pedal. This

setting of the S.LEVEL will usually be quite low for pedals. Setting the

S.LEVEL for rack units is easier since they have input indicators. 


NOTE: When using effect units in the FX LOOP in PARALLEL mode, you

must set the effects unit’s mix control to 100%. By not doing so will cause

phasing issues. Using the FX LOOP in SERIES mode will send 100% of

the amp’s signal out of the SEND jack. Please use caution as to the

quality of the effects unit you want to put your entire tone through. This is

a non “tone sucking” loop. If transparency is not achieved, then it is most

likely caused by improper setting or application of the FX LOOP.

EMULATED: Transformer isolated Emulation of a Randall speaker 4x12

cabinet. Prefixed output is dependent on the channel volumes and is post

fx loop and functions regardless of standby switch position.

GROUND LIFT: Lifts pin 1 on the EMULATED OUTPUT for ground loop

issues while interfacing with external equipment such as mixers, recording

interfaces or monitors.

DO NOT CONNECT MORE SPEAKERS THAN SHOWN ABOVE

LOUDSPEAKERS:

Parallel wired

speaker jacks:

RAW: Unfiltered raw signal tapped off the

loudspeakers jacks while amp is in operation

mode (off standby with speaker load

attached)This output can be fed to the slave

input/power amp in/Effects loop return of

another guitar amp or into the input of a power

amp.
