REAR PANEL
FOOTSWITCH SOCKET
17
This 8 pin socket is connnected via the supplied cable to the purpose built Trident
footswitch unit.This gives the user control over the primary functions of the unit,
channel selection, boost on/off, effects loop on/off and, where applicable, reverb on/off.
PLEASE NOTE
The first switch on the foot controller switches between Channels 1 & 2, whereas the
second switch turns Channel 3 on or off. Therefore to go from Channel 3 to either 1 or
2 you must hit the Channel 3 switch to turn it off.
The BOOST switch on the foot controller turns on the boost facility only on the chan-
nels that have BOOST selected on the front panel of the amplifier.
When using the foot controller, ensure that the recessed toggle switch near to the sock-
et is set to 'FOOTSWITCH'
REAR PANEL CHANNEL SWITCHING
18
These three switches are provided for times when the user either does not want to use
the foot controller, or can not use it.
The first switch enables either the foot controller or rear panel switches, the next two
select the channel.
When set to rear panel switching the boost, effects loop and reverb are all on by
default.
EFFECTS LOOP
19
This has sockets for SEND and RETURN and levels for each as well as a switch for
SERIES or PARALLEL configuration.
The SEND LEVEL sets the level of signal out of the SEND socket. This is for connec-
tion to the input of effects units. It can also be used as a line out.
The RETURN socket is connected to the output of the effects unit used and the
RETURN LEVEL sets the level of the effected signal in the overall sound.
The SERIES/PARALLEL switch alters the configuration of the effects loop.
In SERIES mode the whole signal comes out of the amp, into the effects and then back
into the amp, whereas in PARALLEL mode the effected signal is mixed in with the origi-
nal dry signal, thus retaining tonal purity. The choice of which mode to use will depend
on what kind of effects unit is used and what overall effect is desired.
