3 - Connections

Connect an external synthesizer, audio equipment
or other device to the

LINE IN

jack to input external

sounds. The input signal is sent to the sub-speakers.

NOTE

Use the volume control of the equipment connected
to the LINE IN jack to adjust its relative volume
.

CAUTION

Be careful when attaching external sound sources, as

very loud signals, especially at low frequencies, may

damage the GA-100CD's speakers.

Guitar connection

Connecting other equipment

Connect a guitar using either the

HIGH

or

LOW

jack in

the INPUT section.

The input impedance of the two jacks is different. The

HIGH

jack is 6.8 MΩ, and the

LOW

jack is 68 kΩ.

When directly connecting electric guitars with passive
pickups, we recommend that you use the

HIGH

jack

since such guitars usually have high output impedance.
Two guitars can be connected simultaneously.

Connect a TASCAM RC-30P or similar footswitch to
the

GUITAR CHANNEL

jack on the rear panel to use it

to change between the clean and overdrive channels.

Connect a TASCAM RC-30P or similar footswitch
to the

CD/EFFECT

jack on the rear panel to use it to

change effect banks or turn the tuner ON and OFF.

Footswitch connections

To apply an external effect to the guitar signal after it
has passed through the GA-100CD preamp, connect the

external effect’s input to the

EFFECT SEND

jack and

its output to the

EFFECT RETURN

jack.

External effects connection

Connect stereo headphones to the

PHONES

jack

to monitor through headphones. Connection to the

PHONES

jack mutes the GA-100CD speakers.
