This diagram illustrates two common applications in which unbalanced guitar signals are converted
into balanced signals. In the rst example the guitar is connected directly to the GI100, which in turn
feeds the console. No guitar amp isused. In this case, the PAD switches should be deactivated with
the VIRTUALCAB switched on or o depending on the sound desired.
The second example shows the GI100 being driven by the loudspeaker output of a guitar amp.
If you’re using a tube amp, it’s very important to connect an impedance load—preferably a
speaker—to the DIRECT LINK TO CABINET output in order to prevent damage to your amp.
Forthis application, start with one PAD switch depressed and the GND LIFT switch activated.
We also recommend using the VIRTUAL CAB speaker simulation for an authentic guitar sound.
