Important Note
Due to its overall design, the Teisco Interface’s Output A
is wired in reverse-stereo which may affect the output
routing in your DAW.
Track I/Os for your DAW:
Input A on the Teisco Interface = Input 1 on your DAW
Output A on the Teisco Interface = Output 2 on your DAW
Input B on the Teisco Interface = Input 2 on your DAW
Output B on the Teisco Interface = Output 1 on your DAW
For ease of use, we recommend trying out the sample
DAW Input and Output settings shown below.
INTERFACE USER MANUAL

Teisco Interface on a Pedalboard (MONO)
If it’s your first time using a recording
interface, this is the best place to start.
Connect your pedals or your guitar directly to
the Teisco Interface’s input and connect the
output to your amplifier.
Experiment with running other pedals before
and after the Teisco Interface to create
different sounds with your plugins.
DAW requirements:
Create 1 MONO track in DAW
Add plugins to the track as desired
Use these settings in your DAW:
Track 1: Input 1, Output 2

Teisco Interface on a Pedalboard (STEREO)
If you own two amplifiers, try running stereo
effects for epic results.
Connect both Output A and Output B to your
amplifiers while running a stereo plugin. To take
things further, you can also connect other
stereo pedals before or after the Teisco
Interface and experiment from there.
You may also run other pedals before or after
the Teisco Interface for the desired effect. You
can also run a mono input into the Teisco
Interface and process output in stereo.
DAW requirements:
Create 1 STEREO track in DAW
Add stereo plugins to the track as desired
Use one of these settings in your DAW:
Track 1: Input 1, Stereo Out (if you’re NOT
running stereo effects before the Teisco
Interface)
or
Track 1: Input 1+2, Stereo Out (if you’re
running stereo effects before the Teisco
Interface; see below)

Teisco Interface for Recording and Silent
Practice
If inspiration hits and you want to record down
your ideas ASAP, or if you’re just looking to
clock in some silent practice, go ahead and use
the Interface as a simple recording interface.
Use Output B for your headphones. You’ll need a
headphone jack adapter.
DAW requirements:
Create 1 STEREO track in DAW
Add plugins to the track as desired
Use these settings in your DAW:
Track 1: Input 1, Stereo Out

AMP SEND AMP RETURN
AMP IN
Teisco Interface 4-Cable Method (Using
Amp Send / Return)
The "4-Cable Method" is a flexible way of wiring
your effects to achieve optimum tone.
We recommend routing some effects (e.g.
drives, distortions, and compressors) before
your amp's preamp and other effects
(time-based ones like delays and reverbs) in
your amp’s effects loop.
The Teisco Interface can single-handedly handle
both operations by running Channel A before
your amp, and Channel B in the effects loop.
Note: This only works with a single MONO
instrument input
DAW requirements:
Create 2 MONO tracks in DAW
Add plugins to each track as desired (e.g.
overdrive plugins to Track 1, time-based
plugins to Track 2)
Use these settings in your DAW:
Track 1: Input 1, Output 2
Track 2: Input 2, Output 1

Teisco Interface with Two Instruments
The Teisco Interface is able to run two
instruments, each with separate plugins. Both
tracks can be recorded at the same time.
This is a great way to access studio tone even
when on the go, and a fun way to jam with
friends.
DAW requirements:
Create 2 MONO tracks in DAW
Add plugins to each track as desired
Ensure that your DAW is capable of recording
two tracks simultaneously
Use these settings in your DAW:
Track for Instrument 1: Input 1, Output 2
Track for Instrument 2: Input 2, Output 1

Teisco Interface Running Direct and to
Amp
The Teisco Interface can also route two
different signals on stage.
Send Channel A to your guitar amp and Channel
B to the mixer/monitor.
DAW requirements:
Create 2 MONO tracks in DAW
Add plugins to each track as desired
Use these settings in your DAW:
Track 1: Input 1, Output 2
Track 2: Input 1, Output 1

Teisco Interface for Wet / Dry Setups
Use the Teisco Interface to send your dry signal
to your guitar amp, and your time-based “wet”
effects to another amp or directly to the front
of house.
This gives your sound engineer more control
over your wet and dry mix.
DAW requirements:
Create 2 MONO tracks in DAW
Add plugins to each track as desired
Use these settings in your DAW:
Track 1: Input 1, Output 2
Track 2: Input 1, Output 1
