Use a 1/4" TS cable to connect this jack to the

stereo output instead of the standard mono; many of the Bassfire’s
excellent effects will sound even better when you listen to them in stereo.
If you don’t have a second amplifier, you can enjoy the stereo effects by
listening with headphones.
7.
SPEAKER OUTPUT –
Use a 1/4" TS cable to connect this jack to an
external 8-ohm speaker. Doing so disconnects the internal speaker.
