Quilter Steeliare Owner's Manual - Effects Loop
8
EFFECTS LOOP, FOOTSWITCH, DIRECT OUTPUT
Effects Loop
The SEND jack outputs at 1V full scale
which aligns with consumer and pro
effects. The RETURN jack interrupts the
internal signal, and returns the effects
output directly to the power amplifier.
The 9VDC OUT jack will power one or two typical pedals, which may be
left connected and secured inside the amplifier. The combined current
ratings must not exceed 200ma. The FX LOOP switch on the remote
controller will bypass or enable the pedal(s).
•
TIP: The Effects Loop is best suited for “enhancement” devices such
as delay, reverb, and chorus. “Overdrive” pedals should be used
between the guitar and amplifier.
•
TIP: The footswitch “FX LOOP” position bypasses the OUTPUT of the
effect chain, but signals still flow INTO the effect chain, possibly
building up reverb or echo trains which will be heard when the loop
is activated.
Footswitch Jack
The remote controller (or footswitch) connects with the
supplied cable. Both jacks on the foot controller are wired
identically, so you can plug into either one. A standard
network cable with RJ-45 connectors may be used as an
emergency replacement or if you need a longer cable.
Direct Output
The isolated direct output connects the overall sound of
the amp to a mixing board or external powered
loudspeakers without using a microphone. The signal
level is isolated and comparable with an amplifier mic,
and is derived from the actual signal across the speaker,
to preserve as much of the tone quality as possible.
Internal equalization produces the same tone quality
through a full-range console as the internal single-cone driver.
