9. Effect SEND jack - Use this ¼" unbalanced jack to send signal from the HD500
to outboard effects processors. In-line effects, such as stomp boxes, intended
for low signal levels should be placed between the bass and the amplifier input
and not connected with the Effect Send and Return jacks. You can also use the
Effect Send jack to route signal to an external mixing console or amplifier with
an input sensitivity of +4 dB.
10. Effect RETURN jack - Use this ¼" unbalanced jack to return low impedance
signal to the HD500 from an outboard effects processor.
11. Direct output - This standard male XLR connector provides a mic level pre-
EQ (and pre-Volume control) balanced low-impedance output from the
amplifier. This ouptput is usually used this to connect the HD500 to a Direct
Injection (DI) box or to an XLR mic input when interfacing with external sound
reinforcement or recording mixing consoles. The signal from this output adds
approximately 6 dB of gain to the input level.
12. Headphones jack - Connect headphones to this standard ¼" jack. When a
plug is inserted into the headphone jack, the speaker output is disconnected,
allowing you to use your HD500 as a practice amplifier.
