jack to your amp.

Here's how to use the I/O panel:

return jack.

2. All modules are bypassed when you plug in the power jack.

PHONES AND CAB SIM

Plug your earphones into the PHONES jack for silent jams. It’s equipped with a
cab simulator, so you can run Dapper Amp Mini right to your headphones
and sound like you're playing through a stack. Use the PHONES knob to adjust the
headphone output volume.

Note: The PH ONES cab simulator is “always on”, regardless of whether the CAB

SIM toggle is on or off.

Note: This LED lights up only when tuning.

The CAB SIM switch turns the cab sim on/off in the OUT jack. Switch the CAB SIM
ON to get an amp cabinet sound, so you can run Dapper Amp Mini right to the PA
or audio interface and sound like you're playing through the big rig. Switch the CAB
SIM OFF when running Dapper Amp Mini straight to your amp.

Note: Switching amp models will affect the cab sim sound you get in both the

headphones and OUT outputs.
