jack to the INPUT of your effects, and a second atch cord from the
OUTPUT of your effects to the RETURN jack. Use the Effects blend
control on the front anel to adjust the amount of effects with the
sound of your instrument. If the Effects control is in the full counter-
clockwise osition, your effects device will NOT be heard. Turning
the Effects control clockwise introduces more of the effect into the
overall sound.
You may also use the Return jack to mix in other external signals
such as a mono ta e source, drum machine, etc.
CHANNEL PATCH JACKS
These jacks can be used as individual channel effects loo s, to send
the individual Instrument and Aux/Mic channel signals out to a
stereo am , or to receive a stereo signal that can be mixed in with
the Master Blender.
To use as an INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL EFFECTS LOOP, a stereo cord is
needed. The "ti " of the Channel Patch jack is the send, and the
"ring" of the Channel atch jack is the return or "receive". The
Effects blend control on the front anel DOES NOT affect this
function. Use the level on your effects device for the desired amount
of coloration.
To send the SEPARATE CHANNEL SIGNALS to a stereo am or mixer,
etc, use a normal mono shielded 1/4" lug for each channel.
Connect the Channel Patch jack(s) to the in ut of the unit desired.
The level at these jacks is controlled by the Gain control ONLY. The
signal going to the Line and XLR outs will NOT be interru ted, and
function as normal. This allows for a variety of choices when laying
live or recording! Shorting the ring of the Channel Patch jack to
ground does not harm or affect erformance.
To MIX IN A STEREO SIGNAL you will need a stereo lug with the
"ring" and "sleeve" wired ONLY. Do NOT ground or wire anything to
the "ti " of the stereo lug inserted into the Channel Patch jacks to
use this feature.
To atch from a stereo source, remove the mono lug on the end of
the atch cord inserted into the Master Blender and re lace with a
1/4" stereo lug. Wire the "hot" wire of the mono cord to the "ring"
and the shield to the "sleeve". Again, leave the "ti " blank. Since
the master Effects control on the front anel does not function (it's a
mono control), the level must be set by the external device.
XLR DIRECT OUT
The XLR is a true electronically balanced out ut and can be used to
send a signal to a ta e deck or mixer for recording and live
situations. Wiring of the XLR is American Standard: 1 = ground, 2 =
hot, 3 = neutral. The level at the XLR is affected by the Gain control
only. To "kill" the signal at the XLR, sim ly use the Mute switch on
the front anel.
The GROUND LIFT switch directly below the XLR connector either
