Inputs and outputs
Connectors are described from right to left. For
setup examples, see “Connection diagrams”.
MIC connector
This is where the magic happens!
Plug your dynamic, condenser, icrophone in here. Remember to set the mi-
crophone type and level correctly, as described
in the Play Electric Quick Start Guide.
GUITAR IN connector
Connect your guitar to this input.
GUITAR THRU connector
The Guitar THRU is intended to pass your guitar
signal directly from the input out to an external
amp or pedalboard. If you don’t want to use any
of the onboard guitar effects but want Play Elec-
tric to read your chords for NaturalPlay key/scale
detection, plug your guitar into the IN connector
and connect the THRU connector to your amp/
pedalboard.
Any guitar sounds internal to Play
Electric are muted when the THRU connector
is connected to another device.
Guitar Out connector
This is a direct guitar out. Connect this to your
guitar amp or a channel on your mixer. When
Guitar OUT is connected, all guitar signals are
removed from the XLR outputs.
AUX connector
Use a 1/8” cable to connect any music source
you want to use to your Play Electric (especially
that 8-Track from your 1974 Comet). When an in-
put is detected here and no guitar is plugged in,
Play Electric will use the music signal to figure
out key and scale information.
XLR OUTPUTS connectors
These are the main output connectors of your
Play Electric. By default, stereo vocal signals are
