Connections

Note:

1. If Binary Amp sounds harsh or weird when connecting to the input jack on your amp, try to connect to the amp’s FX Loop return jack.

2. TURN ON FIRST, TURN OFF LAST. Always mute the mixer/audio interface or turn down the volume knob on your amp before plugging or unplugging
power jacks, cables, etc. When you're using a mixer or an audio interface, please adjust the knobs onboard carefully to avoid signal clipping.
