5. IMPEDANCE SELECTOR – Always set this switch to the proper speaker load
according to the chart below. Note: The Para-Dyne combos incorporates built-in 8
ohm speaker loads so leave it set to 8 when not connecting another cabinet.
Setting For One Cabinet For Two cabinets
4 One 4 ohm cabinet Two 8 ohm cabinets
8 One 8 ohm cabinet Two 16 ohm cabinets
16 One 16 ohm cabinet
6. FOOTSWITCH JACK – Insert the plug from the footswitch cable here. The red
LED on the footswitch will glow when in the lead channel mode. For proper
operation, make sure the clean channel volume knob is pushed in when using the
footswitch.
7. OPTIONAL BUFFERED SERIAL EFFECTS LOOP – Use the loop for
connecting effect units such as reverb, delay, tremolo and chorus to avoid the
noise and distortion that sometimes occurs when connecting the certain effects in
the input jack if using high gain settings on the amp. Effect loops are generally not
recommended for overdrive and distortion effects.
a) Send – Connect the input of your effects chain here.
b) Return – Connect the output of your effect chain here.
c) Level – Adjusts the level of the loop signal. For best results, first try the
LOW level setting. The LOW will work best for most applications. The HIGH
setting may produce slightly less background hiss but is only usable for “line
level” effects and may cause distortion or volume reduction under certain
conditions, especially when the clean channel volume or overdrive channel
gain is set very high. See notes below.
d) Bypass – To completely bypass the loop circuit and maintain a 100% tube
signal path, set this switch to the “out” position.
Notes on the effects loop – Some 9 volt “stomp box” type effects are not designed
to be used in effect loops and can not handle the levels present in the loop without
distortion. If your effect distorts even when the loop is switched to the LOW level
setting, your effect unit may not be compatible. Try upgrading to an effect that can
handle higher levels or one that runs on a higher supply voltage.
