RETURN inputs can also be used in combination with SEND outputs to loop in external mono or stereo equipment.
Details can be found in the Effect Loops chapter.
RETURN 1 and 2 can also be used as auxiliary inputs. You could, for instance, use this feature to mix in music from
your mp3-player and play along. In this case you will need a special cable with 3.5 mm stereo jack on one side and
two ¼ inch mono jacks on the other side. You will find the corresponding mix controls in the Output Section.
SEND 1+2 (3)
SEND 1 carries the direct output signal in glorious mono. The main purpose for this output is to feed signals into the
reference amp during PROFILING
TM
. This is not its only purpose, however: you can also use SEND outputs in
combination with the four RETURN inputs to create effects loops. In this case, a SEND becomes a mono send.
If you're not using SEND 1 as part of an effects loop, it will normally carry the original guitar signal. So, if you want to
record your guitar dry, either connect the SEND 1 to the recording device, or to the input of your audio interface.
MAIN OUTPUT (4)
These are your main stereo outputs. Use these outputs to connect to a mixing desk in a recording studio, or to the
front-of-house mixer in a live situation. These outputs deliver the entire Rig: Amp, Cabinet, and all Effects. You have
a choice of XLR (balanced) or quarter-inch TS-jacks (unbalanced). The XLR outputs are protected against 48V
phantom power fed by a mixing desk. However, you should avoid feeding phantom power into the PROFILER if you
want the best audio quality. Like all inputs and outputs, it offers a ground lift in the menu of the Output Section to
prevent a loop hum.
