Channel 2 EFX loop
CH2 EFX-Send
This jack is located on the back panel. The signal is sent dry, with no equalization.
CH2 EFX-Return
This jack is located at the back of the unit. When a signal is fed back into the CH2 EFX-RTN jack it can go directly into the amps or it can be combined with the internal digital effects depending on whether the Channel 2 EFX switch is in or out.
Do not use both the phone and XLR inputs at the same time, signals will be highly attenuated!!
Effects Level Control (dry/wet)
This control is used to increase or decrease the amount of internal effects used to enhance the sound from an input source on either Channel 1 and 2. The effects level control can be bypassed via a foot switch.
Master Volume Line Out
The master control is used to increase or decrease the overall output of the AM100. It has no effect on the line out signal level or the Channel 2 effects loop. The line out is post channel 1 and 2 but pre-effects, which means the gain controls and Channel 1�s equalization do affect the output to the balanced line out, but the master volume control does not. No effects are sent through this output unless used prior to the amplifier (eg. If you have your guitar plugged directly into an effect, then plugged into the AM100). You can use this output to directly connect to a mixer, or another amplifier.
Tips
� If the line out is used to inject a signal into a mixer and no output power is desired from the AM100 speakers, set the master control to �0� and increase or decrease the gain control on either or both of the channels. � Clip LED on Channel 1: The clip LED will illuminate if the input gain and/or the signal at the EQ section is too hot. This will drive the amp to clipping. Adjust the Volume control or EQ controls on channel 1 accordingly. � Clip LED on Channel 2: The clip LED will illuminate if the input gain is high enough to clip the amplifier output. Adjust the Volume control on channel 2 accordingly.
Digital Effects
There are 32-digital effects presets altogether in Banks A and B, with 16-presets for each. Bank A and Bank B are switchable via a bank select switch on the front panel of the amp. When the switch is in the In position, an amber LED is turned on indicating Bank A is enabled. In the Out position, Bank B is enabled and the light goes out. This feature can also be accessed using an optional footswitch.
Digital Effects Bank A/B
The AM100 has 2 banks consisting of 16-presets for each. The numeric selection of each preset and its description is located on the front panel. An Effects Table with brief descriptions for the presets is located near the end of the Owner�s Manual.
Footswitch
Connect a standard footswitch here to turn the internal effects system on or off. It does not regulate the external effects loop.
