FRONTPANEL & SETTINGS
The channel 1 and 2 volume controls and filter switches and the phones
output with dedicated volume control are located at the front of the unit
for operating convenience.
1
FILTER VOLUME
Controls the speaker simulated output signal level.
2 DEEP /FLAT
This switch selects the low end EQ with the DEEP setting providing the
typical punch of a closed back 4x12". The FLAT position simulates the
airiness of an open back 2x12" cabinet.
3 BRIGHT/NORMAL/MELLOW
This switch selects between three high frequency characteristics. Es-
pecially to overdriven signals, the BRIGHT setting lends clarity and
transparency to rhythm parts and the cutting edge to lead lines. NORMAL
generates the grainy upper midrange bite of a British loudspeaker, and
the MELLOW position simulates the softer, singing "American" tones.
Together, both switches select between 6 presets providing authentic sim-
ulation of various speaker and cabinet types. We recommend to experiment
with different combinations to create new and unusual voicings, as well!
4 PHONES
Stereo headphones output with dedicated volume control. This provides the
speaker simulated signal.
Using a suitable adapter for connection, the integrated headphones ampli-
fier is even capable of driving home stereo speakers!

BACKPANEL & CONNECTING
All connectors with the exception of the phones output
the rear of the unit.
5
MAINS
Connect the included mains cord to the IEC socket. The mains fuse holder
is integrated into this socket. Make sure the MAINS VOLTAGE selector is
set to your local mains supply voltage.
6
OUTPUT / INPUT CHANNEL 2 AND CHANNEL 1
featuring identical connection and switching facilities both channels can
also be used for mono applications.
OUTPUT
Zhe XLR and jack socket provide the speaker simulated signal for connec-
tion to a mixing console. Both outputs can be used simultaneously. The
GROUND LIFT switch isolates pin 1 of the XLR from the chassis ground to
eliminate ground loops.
(You can also connect the outputs to a power amp with loudspeakers to am-
plify and reproduce the filtered signal, e.g. a home stereo featuring AUX
or LINE inputs.)
INPUT
use the IN sockets to connect preamps, effects units, combo amps, heads
or power amps, and the SPEAKER/LINE switch to set the proper input levels
(see WARNING below). The input signal is fed to the THRU sockets with-
out filtering for further use (see Sample applications and connections
below).
WARNING:
Make sure the SPEAKER/LINE switch is in the SPEAKER position (down) when
connecting the PDI05 to the loudspeaker outputs of combo amps, heads or
power amps, and that appropriate loudspeakers or dummy loads are connect-
ed to the THRU sockets!
For all connections from loudspeaker level outputs (e.g. of combo amps,
heads or power amps) and to loudspeakers use high quality loudspeaker
cable only. Use high quality instrument cable for line level connections.
