FX RETURN: A 1/4" mono jack socket for the connection of the output of an external FX unit. The effects loop allows you to connect
external effects such as tremolos, chorus and delays to your amplifier. The signal leaves the amplifier via the Send socket and comes back
from the effects via the Return socket. With no jacks inserted, the Send and Return signals are linked. Use the output level control on your
FX to control how loud the FX return signal sounds. Some Effects are better suited to being between the guitar and amplifier input - these
are foot pedal types/distortion/wah pedals etc. Rack mount effects will work better in the FX loop on the amplifier rear. Stomp boxes are
normally designed for small signals such as a guitar output whereas rack mount FX are designed for the higher signal level obtained from an
FX send.
The FX Return can also be used as a slave in for the power amp. As it is an insert type, this will mute the preamp signal.
FX LOOP SWITCH: Selects the FX Loop mode of operation:
!
Bypass - Removes the FX Loop from the signal path.
!
0 dBu - For connection of FX units with a 0dBu nominal output level.
!
-10 dBu - For connection of FX units with a -10dBu nominal output level. As this is intended for devices with a lower output level, this
switch increases the gain of the FX Loop by 10dB.
FX SEND: 1/4" mono jack socket for connection to the input of an external FX unit. A insert type effects loop allows you to connect
external effects such as tremolos, chorus and delays to your amplifier. This can also be used as a line out for connection to another power
amp slave input or for recording.
SERIAL NO: Displays the model and serial number of the unit.
LOUDSPEAKER SOCKETS: Use to connect an 8-16 ohm extension cabinet. Set the switch to the socket for your desired impedance.
Try the L50H into a matching Laney Lionheart L412 cabinet for the perfect tonal combination. Please note mismatched impedance will
reduce the amplifiers performance and in extreme cases may cause damage to your amplifier. Never operate any tube amplifier without a
load connected: serious irreparable damage may occur.
