iPad, iPad mini®,

USB

:  There is standard USB 2.0 audio I/O connector supporting the following:

1. 

Ability to simultaneously record the RAW untreated sound to Channel 1 

(left) and the full amplifier sound to the channel 2 (right).

2. 

Ability to play back USB stereo information to headphones for monitoring.

Tip: Can then be linked from the headphone output back into the 

Auxiliary input with a 3.5mm to 6.5mm stereo jack lead allowing 

simultaneous USB play back. 

Tip: This feature will also allow external DSP effects on your DAW to 

use the RAW signal as a left input then the effected signal sent directly 

back to the Aux input for mixing with the amp “through” signal all via 

USB and without affecting your direct sound.

3. 

Re-Amp Send socket allowing the recorded RAW channel to be sent back to 

the amplifier input via a standard instrument jack lead for re-processing.

Record out via USB

:  To run into iPad or iPad mini connect via a Camera USB 

adaptor, PC/MAC connects via standard A-B USB cable, for use with the likes of 

Garage Band ®, Audacity ®, MixPad Audio Mixer ®, Pro Tools and similar. It should be 

noted that the audio output of an iPad or iPad mini is disengaged and returned via the 

USB. This can be picked up via a rear panel monitor switch on the amplifier headphones 

in stereo, or if required, routed into a PA system/powered cabinets.

Re-Amp Facility

:  During recording the amplifier processed signal is sent to the right hand channel. The left hand channel carries the 

guitar signal totally unprocessed. On an iPad using Garage Band if the track is recorded in stereo then copied with one track panned 

left and the other track panned right, then both raw and processed signals are available independently.

This allows for the re-amplifying of a sound that may have been over processed initially. To re-amp via Garage Band on the iPad, solo 

the original channel and record a new one with the link in place from the rear re-amp socket and the guitar input. The newly 

processed signal will now appear on the right channel with the guitar direct signal again on the left. Other effects may be added into 

the link cable but the guitar original sound will not be recorded. It will instead record to the left channel the sound directly after the 

effects with no amplifier and the fully processed signal after the amplifier and effects on the right.
