Fig. 1

Fig. 1 shows the back panel of TB-12; the back panel of TB-5 is identical in terms of connections, so you can

use the same cables. MIDI OUT: use this port to connect the controller to MIDI IN port of your MIDI device.

Use a MIDI DIN5pin-DIN5pin cable. MIDI IN: use this port to transmit midi data to the controller from the

MIDI OUT port of your MIDI device (for example to transfer tuner data or footswitch status). Use a MIDI

DIN5pin-DIN5pin cable. To use relay jacks SW1/2 and SW3/4 you will need a 1/4" stereo jack – 1/4" stereo

jack cable. One end of the cable is connected to SW jack of the controller and the other - to the footswitch

jack of a guitar amp or any other similar device To connect an volume pedal to Exp.1 or Exp.2 jack you will

need either an identical cable or a Y-cable (stereo 1/4" jack – two mono 1/4" jacks). See Fig. 2 for the

wiring diagram. It depends on the expression pedal, which of the two cable types you should use.
