PRECAUTIONS
INITIAL SETUP PROCEDURE
We recommend starting with one amp and checking your progress. With so many
cables, it can be easy to connect things incorrectly.
Be sure all devices are powered off before making any connections. Place the front
panel FX LOOP andATTENUATOR switches in the down position.
Connect a speaker cabinet to SPEAKER 1
Connect an amplifier’s speaker output toAMP OUTPUT 1.
Connect the same amplifier’s input jack toAMP INPUT 1.
If equipped, connect the same amplifier’s FX send jack to theAMP 1 SEND jack and
its FX return jack to the AMP 1 RETURN jack.
Connect the input of your pedalboard or FX unit to the FX INPUT jack and its output
to the FX OUTPUT jack. Note: FX will be bypassed while the front panel FX LOOP
switch is in the down position.
If you have an attenuator, connect its input to the ATTENUATOR INPUT jack and
its output to the ATTENUATOR OUTPUT jack. Note: the attenuator will be bypassed
while the front panel ATTENUATOR switch is in the down position.
Connect your guitar to the front panel INPUT jack. Rotate theAMPLIFIER dial to
position 1. Rotate the SPEAKER dial to position 1.
Power on the 8x6 Pro and then turn on your amplifier.
Listen for the guitar signal. If you hear it coming from the speaker, move on to 12. If
not, double check your cable connections as well as the amplifier and guitar volume
controls. Should you hear ground noise, you may need to move this amp to another
position or place the front panel GROUND switch in the up position.
To test your FX connections, place the FX LOOP switch in the up position. Should the
sound disappear, check your cable connections as well as the FX output level. Should
you hear excessive noise when switching the FX LOOP on or off, try switching the
rear panel GND switch to find the quietest position.
To test your attenuator, place the ATTENUATOR switch in the up position. Should the
sound disappear, check your cable connections as well as the attenuator output level.
Repeat the above steps as necessary to add the rest of your amps and cabinets.
