Guitar I/O
Introduction
Ensemble provides two high impedance (Hi-Z) inputs and two instrument level outputs on the
front panel. The capabilities these connections provide are a powerful tool in your recording
arsenal. From re-amping to setting up an instrument-level effects loop, the Ensemble’s Guitar
Inputs and Outputs simplify tasks that previously required specialized equipment with complex
setup and configuration steps.
Guitar Input Features
•
Designed to accept a Hi-Z input signal from guitar, bass, keyboards, or other Hi-Z instruments.
•
Dedicated circuit design different than rear panel instrument inputs.
•
Class A JFET preamp circuit that provides the feel and responsiveness characteristic of the input circuit on
a quality vintage guitar amplifier.
•
“Bootstrapping” design provides an ultra-high impedance load, preserving the instrument’s tone and
frequency response.
•
Assigned to software input channels 11 and 12.
Guitar Output Features
•
Impedance balanced instrument-level output designed to connect to guitar or bass amplifiers, or effects such as
stomp-box pedals and processors, or similar devices.
•
Dual mode switching
•
“Thru” setting provides a zero latency direct output for the instrument connected to the guitar input.
•
“From Software” setting means only non-direct signals such as audio from a DAW or the Maestro Mixer is
output.
•
Unity Gain feature takes care of level matching the input vs output signals.
•
Assigned to software output channels 11 and 12.
Re-Amping
Ensemble provides a powerful way to get your best guitar tracks in a two-stage process. The first stage focuses
on capturing your performance in a recording track of your DAW. The second stage routes that performance
through your amps and effect pedals, allowing you to tweak settings until it’s perfect so it can be recorded into
your session.
