Connection example 1: instrument/guitar amplifier connection
When using only one guitar amplifier, connect the L/MONO OUTPUT jack of the
8080 to the input of the guitar amplifier. In this case, the L and R signals of stereo
effects will be combined in the output.
When using two guitar amplifiers, connect the L and R OUTPUT jacks of the
8080 to the inputs of the guitar amplifiers.
Set the OUTPUT LEVEL GAIN switch to the position which matches the input
sensitivity of the connected equipment. For connection to a guitar amplifier, the
"-20 dB" position will normally be best, whereas professional effect devices and
mixing consoles will work better with the "+4 dB" setting.

Connection example 2: external effect/preamplifier connection
When wishing to control the on/off condition of an external distortion effect
or preamplifier or similar, connect the effect device in the EXTERNAL
DIST SEND and EXTERNAL DIST RETURN loop ( p. 41).
Set the EXTERNAL DIST RETURN GAIN switch to the position which matches
the output level of the connected equipment. For use with a compact
effect device, the "-20 dB" position will normally be best, whereas
professional effect devices and guitar preamplifiers will work better with
the "+4 dB" setting.
NO

When wishing to control the
programs of a MIDI-compatible
external distortion effect or
preamplifier or similar, connect the
MIDI jack of the device to the
MIDI OUT jack of the 8080, using
a MIDI cable( p.34).
Connection example 3:
external guitar amplifier
connection
When wishing to control
channel switching of a guitar
amplifier using the foot switches
of the 8080, connect the
EXTERNAL CONTROL jack
of the 8080 with the foot switch
jack of the guitar amplifier,
using either a stereo or mono
cable ( p. 42).
