REAR PANEL (from right to left)
Effects Loop - Send, Return
The EFFECTS LOOP is a simple, unity gain, series loop.
The SEND socket is for connection to the input of effects units. On the V8 it is a
buffered, lower impedance version of the signal that appears at the INPUT. This can also
be used on its own to send a signal to a tuner or another amplifier.
The RETURN socket is for connection to the output of effects units. When not used it
is internally connected to the SEND, therefore the EFFECTS LOOP can be ignored if not
in use.
Line Out
This provides a line level output of the signal post preamp, eq and compressor. Its level
is independent of the MASTER volume. This can be used to send a signal to an external
power amplifier if more volume is required.
DI section
A balanced, male XLR, D(irect) I(nject) output is provided to send signals to stage
boxes/mixing desks for live performance or recording purposes.
The PRE/POST push switch provided allows the user to select between PRE, where the
signal is taken after the effects loop but before the rest of the preamp, and POST where
the signal is taken immediately before the MASTER control, therefore after the preamp, eq
and compressor. As with the LINE OUT its level is independent of the MASTER volume.
To the left of the socket an ‘earth-lift’ switch is also provided. When pushed in this will
isolate the DI earth, pin 1 on the XLR, from the amplifier ground. This is used to prevent
earth (hum) loops when connecting to external equipment. Merely set it to the position
that produces the least hum.
