examination of this manual will help you understand how to take
full advantage of its capabilities.
Block Diagram
Input Section
This section contains the 1/4'' input jack and the input attenuator.
With the attenuator out, the maximum input level is 1V rms (3V
P-P). For larger input signals, the input attenuator should be set.
This reduces the gain of the input stage by 10dB, increasing the
input head room to 3V rms (10V P-P).
Effects Loop
Located on the rear panel, it is provided for the insertion of outboard effects. It is post EQ but pre Boost and Master. Using
standard guitar cords, connect the effects input to the send and
the effects output to the return. The Boost and Master controls
will not effect any signal put into the return jack. The level is
1.5V rms (4.5V P-P) into 100K ohm.
Direct Out
This is an electronically balanced output that will put 500mv rms
into a 600 ohm load. It comes after the effects loop and is located on
the rear panel.
Speakers
Located on the rear panel are two sets of speaker jacks. The
upper set is for the 100W power amp and in the bi-amp mode is
used for the high end. They deliver 100W rms into 8 ohms.
Lower impedances should not be used. Higher impedances such
as 8 ohms or above are okay.
CAUTION : Under no circumstances should the 100W and
300W outputs be connected together or to the same speaker!
Power Switch
The Power Switch and associated LED indicator are located in
the lower right hand corner of the front panel
