English Using iRig 2 with mixers, speakers or amplifiers 1/8" 1/8" RCA 1/8" Amplifier output jack If needed you can connect an external amplifier to iRig 2. This is possible thanks to the “Amplifier output jack”, that allows you to send the processed signal (i.e. from a rig inside your mobile device) or a direct unprocessed signal, back out to an instrument amplifier or other unbalanced input.
English THRU-FX switch This switch allows you to select the type of output that is sent thru the “Amplifier output jack.” When this switch is set to THRU, the “Amplifier output jack” carries the same signal that is sent to the instrument input. This mode is typically used to send the instrument signal, that is plugged into the Instrument jack, back out to an instrument amplifier or other unbalanced input.
English Setting input level You can adjust the input level of your instrument via the dedicated thumbwheel. To increase the input level rotate the thumbwheel control toward the TRRS captive cable. To decrease the input level rotate the thumbwheel control toward the 1/4” instrument input jack. For the best sound, adjust the input level so that it’s as high as possible while still retaining a “clean” sound that’s not distorted or overloaded.
