The RockBoard® MODs provide you with all the connections you’ll need.
Installation is as easy and convenient as it gets:
Depending on your choice, the RockBoard® MODs offer different options, but let’s start with the ones they have in common:
•TRS In/Output: You can use these for MONO, STEREO or Balanced Inputs or Outputs, Effects Loops, Looper Switcher and
basically anything that uses a 1/4” jack
•IEC In/Output: This allows you to connect the AC IEC of your multi-power supply
Here are the connections only found in MOD 1:
• XLR IN/Output: This allows the routing of any audio signal from a DI box or other balanced output directly into a mixing board
or audio interface for recording purposes
• DC In/Output: Some multi-Power supplies use an external power adapters instead of an AC IEC cable,
like the RockBoard® Power Block or the MXR M238 ISO-Brick
