As this is a SERIAL effects loop then you will need to adjust the balance of direct to effect sound
within your external effects unit ( i.e. dry/wet mix ).
The signal path through the preamp is only broken when a jack plug is inserted into the EFFECTS
RETURN socket. The EFFECTS SEND signal may therefore be used as a pre master volume LINE
OUT socket or connected to a tuner. This will allow silent tuning by turning the MASTER LEVEL
CONTROL to zero, tuning up and returning the MASTER LEVEL control back to its original setting.
The EFFECTS LOOP is located after the graphic and shape facilities and is in parallel with the
internal effects.
The circuit configuration for this effects loop has been changed from the previous generation of
amplifiers so that the overall gain of the amplifier is not affected by the impedance of the external
effects unit.
BALANCED DI
Two balanced DI outputs are provided on the preamp for direct connection to a balanced 'Mic'
input on a mixing desk. These may be used for either Direct Injection of the instrument into a PA
system or for recording purposes.
The balanced DI's are provided on standard Male XLR sockets located on the back panel. The two
balanced XLR DI sockets are marked PRE EQ and POST EQ.
The PRE EQ socket takes its signal from before the graphic equaliser. POST EQ takes its signal from
after all equalisation, after the internal effects, and after the effects loop, but before the master level
control.
The level of the DI output is fixed at a suitable level to suit the low impedance 'Mic' input on a
mixing desk. This level is dependent on the setting of the INPUT GAIN control and it is important
to have this set correctly ( see INPUT GAIN section ).
The circuit driving the DI sockets has been re-designed to produce a lower noise output than the
previous generation of amplifiers.

BALANCED DI
Three balanced DI outputs are provided on the TA200 for direct connection to a balanced 'Mic'
input on a mixing desk. These may be used for either Direct Injection of the instrument into a PA
system or for recording purposes.
The balanced DI's are provided on standard Male XLR sockets located on the back panel. The
balanced XLR DI sockets are marked PRE EQ ( RIGHT & LEFT ), POST EQ RIGHT and POST EQ
LEFT.
The PRE EQ socket takes its signal from before the graphic equalisers and includes channels 1, 2, 3
& 4 in a single mono DI. This is why it is marked RIGHT & LEFT because it includes all channels
on the amplifier regardless of the MODE setting.
