B-52 LS-100 Instruction And User's Manual - Limited Warranty
B-52 LS-100: 100-WATT TRI-CHANNEL GUITAR AMPLIFIER
6
Special Features of the LS-100
Setting the effects loop send and return controls:
1)
Adjust the amp to normal playing volume with nothing plugged into the effects loop.
2)
Plug an effects unit in and set the return control to 12:00
3)
Adjust the send control so that the volume is about the same as when the effects were not plugged. Verify this by unplugging
the effect unit to compare.
4)
If, when the effects are plugged in, you notice a loss of tone or distortion, readjust the send control until the tone loss im
proves. Then readjust the return level control to, once again, match the volume before the effects were connected.
RECORd OUT:
This output provides a pre-equalized signal that closely mimics the sound of a 4 x12” cabinet. Instead of placing a microphone in
front of the speakers, simply connect this output directly into your recording or PA console. Now you have a consistent, repeatable
signal that is no longer dependent on the precise placement of a microphone.
SPECIAL NOTE: If when attempting to use the recording out, you notice excessive hum (even with the LS-100 Master volume off),
this is an indication of a “ground loop”. The solution is to use a direct box with a ground lift switch between the console input and
the LS-100 recording output.
