speakers
What guitar speakers do you recommend using with the Ethos Overdrive Amp?
Favorite speakers include; Celestion G1265, EV12s, and Eminence RWB
How does the FX port work?
The FX port provides a signal break point between the output of the Ethos preamp and the input of the power amp.
This allows the user to post process the Ethos preamp signal before going into the power amp. To insert an effect,
connect the PREAMP OUT to the input of the effect and then connect the output of the effect to the PWR AMP In.
What happens when the unit is bypassed?
When the unit is bypassed, the input signal is buffered and fed to the power amp. In this mode the Ethos operates as a
flat band power amp.
Can the normal Preamp outputs and Power amp run simultaneously?
Yes, all outputs can operate at the same time. For example, the unit could be used to drive an on-stage monitor or
guitar speaker while feeding the board with a SPK SIM signal or another guitar amp or power amp with the normal
output.
How should I set the GAC switch when I’m using the amp?
The GAC switch should be turned off or in the down position when using the amp.
