PARAMETER Description
Output 1 Mode
Output 2 Mode
Output 3 Mode
STEREO,
SUM L+R
COPY L>R
These parameters determine how signals at the corresponding outputs will
be processed. This control makes it easy to use the same presets in a variety
of stereo and mono performance or recording environments. The decision
between the mono options “SUM L+R” or “COPY L>R” should be based on the
source material.
See "Mono vs. Stereo" on p. 6 for more information on these options.
USB Audio goes directly to the converters and is NOT affected by this setting.
Output 1 Level
Output 2 Level
-10dBV
+4 dBu
These parameters set the nominal levels of their respective outputs.
Use “-10 dBV” for consumer-grade equipment including many guitar products.
Use “+4 dBu“ with professional audio equipment.
The product manual for your connected device should indicate whether it
operates at +4 dBu or -10 dBV (Default). (Some devices are switchable.)
USB Audio levels are affected by this setting.
Output 1 Phase
Output 2 Phase
Output 3 Phase
NORMAL, INVERT
These parameters determine whether signal at the corresponding outputs
will be normal or phase-inverted. This lets you compensate for unwanted
inversions elsewhere in the signal chain.
Output 3 Boost/Pad
0, 6, 12, or 18dB
This engages a boost/pad combination which can help lower the noise floor
of Output 3. This can be useful when connecting to a "gainy" tube amp or
modeler, where even a low noise floor can be greatly amplied.
Boost/Pad helps optimize D/A performance without affecting levels, since a
boost at the converters input is paired with a corresponding cut at its output.
Be watchful, however, as boosting makes it easier to clip the converters.
Watch the meters and if clipping occurs, reduce levels within your preset or
turn this setting down.
Output 2 | Copy Output 1
OFF/ON
Enabling this option creates a copy of the Output 1 signal at Output 2. Use this
for the convenience of having an extra copy of the Output 1 mix with separate
front panel level control—without the need to insert an additional output block.
This setting does NOT copy USB audio, and only works when the Output 2
block is NOT present on the grid for the current preset!
Output 3 | Copy Input 1
OFF, ON
Enabling this option creates a copy of the Input 1 signal at Output 3. Use this
for the convenience of having an extra copy of Input 1 or to create an analog
DI. This setting only works when the Output 3 block is NOT present on the grid
for the current preset.
