RECORD / PHONES: This jack provides direct-to-console interfacing for recording or sound reinforcement applications.
It can also be used to power a set of personal headphones which is a convenient way to practice
day or night privately. It is a circuit dedicated to reproducing the roll off that occurs in the output section with a
speaker connected. With accuracy, it faithfully captures the
SUBWAY ROCKET'S soulful character.
The send level strength is determined by the GAIN and MASTER Controls. From this jack, adequate signal
level will be available to you for most of your recording needs and live performances.

Sensitivity to speaker mismatching in regards to ohmage differences is low, hence no damage to the amplifier
will occur. However, very low ohmage loads will cause the power tubes to wear faster. The
SUBWAY ROCKET is equipped with a single 10 inch 8 Ohm speaker, but as you can see, other
speaker configurations may be used. When using two 8 Ohm speakers, connect each of them to
the 4 Ohm speaker jacks that are provided, this will equal a 4 Ohm load which is the proper
impedance required when using this particular speaker configuration.
FX LOOP: SEND / RETURN: These two 1/4" jacks are the patch point for external effects. The Effects Loop is wired in
parallel with the normal signal. Connect the SEND jack of the ROCKET to your
Effects Input jack. Connect the RETURN jack of the ROCKET to the Output jack
of your effect unit. The Effects Loop is a patch point between the pre-amp and power
section. Therefore, the RETURN jack can double as a "Power Amp Input" jack. When
the RETURN is used as an input, the PRESENCE and MASTER Control of the active
Mode are being utilized. While the RETURN is being used in this manner, all other
controls are inactive.

FX MIX: This control determines the dry/wet blend of the FX Loop signal in relation to the unaffected signal. Set to 0%
you will experience only the dry signal (no effect) and at a setting of 100% the entire signal will be wet (total
effect.)
For the best results...Set the mix of your effect to 100% wet. Then dial in the amount of effect that you wish to
hear, starting at 0% with the FX Loop Mix Control. The drier (closer to 0%) signal you use, the better your tone
should be. This parallel type FX Loop allows the amplifier to retain its purity with the smallest amount of
degredation due to possible effect impedance mismatching.

SILENT RECORDING: This rocker switch which is located down under the chassis and selects between the live
"Speaker On" setting and the silent "Speaker Mute" setting. This is a perfect solution for all-
nighters! This switch mutes all of the signal at the power section driver stage, removing the need
for a speaker load IN THIS POSITION ONLY!
When this switch is set to the "ON" position, a speaker load must be maintained
by either a load resistor of some type or a speaker itself. Failure to comply with this
instruction could result in major damage to the amplifier. Leave your speaker connected.
