7. Guitar Output Analog Level- Determines whether the guitar output gets its signal directly from
the Guitar input or from the computer’s audio software�
• Thru - The signal from the guitar input is passed directly to the guitar output� Guitar input
signal continues to also pass to the computer’s software inputs�
• From Software - Only audio coming from the computer is heard� This setting is useful for
playing back audio from a DAW to an instrument amplier.
8. Unity Gain - Attenuates the Guitar Out level to counter the gain boost of the Guitar In preamp�
How Unity Gain works:
- As you raise the guitar input preamp, this increases the guitar’s audio signal to your computer recording software�
- When playing this recording back through Ensemble’s guitar output jack, the signal increase is maintained�
- If you want the guitar out signal to be lowered to match the original input signal, activate Unity Gain�
• For every dB that the preamp increases the input signal, the Unity Gain feature will lower the Output Trim by that
same dB value�
