INSTRUMENT & GUITAR AMP
Plug your instrument into the Instrument Input jack located on the front panel.
Connect a cable from your amp input to the Line Out Left Output jack. Turn the
SGX LT on first and then turn on your guitar amp. TURN DOWN THE LEVEL OF YOUR AMP
before you play! Adjust your front panel levels to your taste. Adjust your
amplifier levels accordingly.
INSTRUMENT & SGX LT in the EFFECTS LOOP of an AMP
Plug your instrument into your amp as normal. Connect a cable from the SGX LT's
Instrument Input to the amplifiers effect send. Now connect another cable from
the effects return of your amp to the Left Output of the SGX LT. Turn the SGX LT
on first then turn on your power amp. Adjust your playing level while the effects
loop is out of the chain. Center all your front panel knobs. Engage the effects
loop and set the input level to the SGX LT with the effect send control of the
amp so the signal LED is lit all the time (with signal present of course). Set
your front panel controls as you like.
