INPUT 2/CAPTURE INPUT
Combo XLR and 1/4″ TRS input with dedicated level control and phantom power. Plug your instrument or microphone here. This input is also used for creating Neural Captures.

INPUT 1
1/4″ TS input for plugging in your instrument.

DUAL EFFECTS LOOPS
SEND 1/2 and RETURN 1/2 each use a shared 1/4″ TRS. Use a standard TRS cable for Loop 1, or a TRS insert cable (TRS to dual TS) to access both FX Loops.

HEADPHONES OUTPUT
1/8″ TRS headphones output for silent practice and monitoring.

POWER SWITCH
Mechanical power switch.

TS OUTPUTS
Two 1/4″ TS outputs for flexible routing.

CAPTURE OUTPUT
