SUGGESTED SET-UPS:
The TXB50 can be used in a variety of different ways, some of which are
shown below and on the following page. Use these ideas to fuel your
imagination for the setup which best suits your needs.
Idea 1 – Play along, with external effects and backup: Connect an instru-
ment (bass, guitar, keyboard) to the Input jack. (This high-Z input works
with all types of pickups, from Piezo to active types.) Connect a tape
player or CD player to the CD Input jacks. Connect the external effects
device to the Insert jack using one of the methods shown on page 8.
(Note that the external effect will be applied full strength to the instru-
ment, as well as the CD inputs, so use with discretion.) A pair of stereo
headphones may be connected to the Headphones jack for privacy.
Idea 2 – Play along, version two: Connect an instrument to the Input jack.
Connect a tape player or CD player to the CD Input jacks. (See the notes
on page 10 for more detailed information.) Connect a drum machine to
the Insert jack. Use a mono 1/4” connector - tip = signal +, sleeve =
ground. (See page 8.)
