Using the External Effects Control
TC 2290 features the EXTERNAL EFFECTS CONTROL in two ways, either as a loop (SEND/
RETURN) or as a logic control (EX.BYPASS).
USING EXT. EFFECTS LOOP (SEND/RETURN) CONTROL
Connect your pedals and rack mount effects in the following manner:
SUSTAIN DISTORTION EQUALIZER PHASER STEREO CHORUS/REVERE
IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT IN ouT IN LEFT RIGHT
SEND RETURN |SEND RETURN | SEND RETURN | SEND RETURN | SEND RETURN
LEFT RIGHT
Note that the external effects themselves must be ‘on’.
RETURN 5 is a stereo return enabling e.g a stereo chorus/flanger to be connected here.
If you have no stereo effect then use RETURN L only.
The
EXTERNAL
EFFECTS
are
connected
in
series.
The
effects
are
bypassed
inter-
nally
in
the
2290,
so
that
the
quality
of
the
signal
is
not
reduced
by
external
effects
that
are
not
switched
on.
2
instruments
may
be
mixed
by
using
the
returns
of
external
effect
5,
but
this
shuts
out
the
possibility
to
use
the
normal
input
jack
and
external
effects
1-4.
More about external effect 5 (stereo input)
The external effect 5 return Left becomes the »direct input« and the external effect 5
Right becomes the input to the »delay«. — It is thus only possible to delay the Right
input.
If you want to pass the external effect L & R inputs in stereo to the outputs L & R, you
must set equal output volumes on direct and delay signals (in the output section), and
delaytime to »0«, and pan the direct and delay signal to opposite sides.
E.g.
<PRESET> <8> <0> <ENTER>; Recalls preset 80. <CHANGE> <5>; switches
external effect 5 on. <DELAY UP> <0> <ENTER>; no delay. Now press <DELAY/
DIRECT> in the PAN section until both LEDs are lit. If you want to »rotate« the L & R
cahnnels press in OUTPUT section <SELECT> until PAN LED is lit follow by
<DOWN?> until value is »0«. In this way you can hear when channels »rotate«.
