SA246 Aftershock Bass Distortion User’s Guide 6

Output Side Connections

Output 1

This is the primary output. Connect it to your amplifier, recording interface, or the next device in

your effects signal chain using a mono (TS) ¼” cable.

Output 2

Output 2 can act either as an audio output or as the daisy-chain data connection for the Neuro App,

or both.

Output 2 as an Audio Output

The tip contact on Output 2 acts as the secondary audio output. It carries an audio signal when the

Aftershock is configured with a signal routing that uses stereo outputs. Connect it to your amplifier,

recording interface, or the next device in your effects signal chain using a mono (TS) ¼” cable.

Output 2 as a Neuro App Data Daisy-Chain Output

The ring contact on Output 2 acts as a data connection for the Neuro App, passing data from the

Aftershock to the next Source Audio effect in your signal chain. You can daisy-chain the Neuro App

data regardless of whether Output 2 is configured to output audio or not. Connect Output 2 to the

next device’s Neuro App Data input (usually Input 2) using a stereo (TRS) ¼” cable. The audio signal (if

applicable) will be on the tip contact of the plug, and the Neuro App data will be on the ring contact.
