FRONT PANEL INPUT JACK Faithful to the original designs of traditional tube amplifiers, this piezo-friendly 1/4" Input is high impedance 4.7 MΩ. The typically additional low sensitivity input, however, is not needed due to the Pad switch. When the Pad switch is engaged, the input changes to low impedance, approx 10 KΩ, which helps decrease line noise interference and protects the pre-amp from being overloaded by high output, active pickups.
SansAmp XLR DI Out For recording, the SansAmp XLR output is like having a built-in direct box. You can go direct to the board and get the same sound you hear coming out of the speakers right onto tape or disc. The SansAmp circuitry not only captures the warm, rich, natural harmonics and sweet overdrive characteristics inherent to tube amplifiers, its speaker emulation encompasses all aspects of multiply-miked tube amp rigs.
