EXTERNAL PROCESSOR IN © and EXTERNAL PROCESSOR OUT © jacks, and its circuitry inverts polarity
the signals present at the OUTPUTS NORM © and OUTPUTS LAB © will also be inverted in polarity (check
the Instruction Manual of your signal processor to determine if it does or does not invert polarity).
4. Usually, there should be no appreciable level difference whenever a signal processor is connected into or out
of the circuitry of the GFP-345 (through the use of the EXT PROC © button), so long as the processor was
designed with an absolute gam of 1 and adequate input and output impedances to fulfill this function. If a level
difference can be detected when switching a processor in and out of the circuit, and this is disturbing to you
please contact the manufacturer of the processor you are using to see if a correction of this level difference carl
