SET UP
AUDIO PATCH
For best results always use high quality cables. Keep all cables as short as possible, and
route cables neatly. Keep AC, MIDI, and audio cables as far apart from each other as
possible.
1. Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack on the front or rear panel.
2. If you have stereo effects and want to retain stereo imaging, connect the MP-l
OUTPUTS A&B to the line level inputs (left & right) of your effect device. If your
effects unit has switchable input & output levels, set them to the line level position.
Connect the mix outputs from your effects unit to the inputs on your power-amp. If
you're using more than one stereo signal processor you may chain them using the
above method. If you have monoral and/or non MIDI controllable effects, you should
patch them into the effect loop on the rear panel of the MP-l (See section 3.1
EFFECT LOOP)
3. Connect OUTPUTS A&B to the inputs on your power amplifier. Note: Do not sum the
outputs. If you have a monoral poweramp/speaker cabinet configuration, use only
one OUTPUT. It doesn't matter which one you use.
4. If using component power-amp/speaker cabinet(s), connect power-amp output(s) to
speaker input(s) with speakercable(s), 12 to 16 gauge.
5. If using the MP-l with a combo type guitar amplifier, it is best to bypass the combo
amp's preamp stage. Connect OUTPUT A to the combo amp's effect return or power
section input. If your combo amp does not have an effect loop or power stage direct
input, connect the MP-l 's OUTPUT A to the guitar input on the combo amp. Set your
combo amp to as clean and loud a setting as you can with little or no EQ. You will use
the MP-l to generate your "tone."
6. If using the MP-l direct to a mixing board, connect OUTPUT A (mono) or A&B (stereo)
to one or two line level input channel(s) of the board. In stereo, remember to pan the
two channels right and left. Summing the two outputs of the MP-l will result in phase
cancellation of the chorus. Note: if using this configuration, please refer to
"Application Notes" section for speaker emulation curve.
EFFECT LOOP PATCH
1. Connect EFFECT SEND to the input of your effect device.
2. Connect the mix output of your effect device to the MP-l 's EFFECT RECEIVE.
MIDI PATCH
1. Connect the MIDI out from your optional MC-l MIDI foot switch to the MP-l 's MIDI IN
jack.
2. If using the standard 5 pin MIDI cable make certain the 5 pins in the cable line up with
the correct 5 sockets of the MP-l's 7 pin MIDI IN jack.
3. If your system includes MIDI controlled effects, connect a MIDI cable from the MP-l 's
MIDI THRU to the MIDI IN jack on your effects device. Note: if you will be using the
MP-l 's MIDI mapping feature and you want the mapped
MIDI information sent on to
your effects unit, use the MP-l 's MIDI OUT jack instead of the MIDI THRU jack. You
may chain multiple MIDI controlled effects using the above method.
4. If you are using the MP-l as the first MIDI device in your system, and you are
changing programs from the front panel of the MP-l, connect the MP-l 's MIDI OUT
jack to the MIDI IN jack on your MIDI effects unit.
