Ê

Application Scenarios

Ê

Ê

Using with your instrument and ampÊ

ÊPlug your instrument into the unitÕs input L jack (or L+R if stereo connection is Êneeded), and run a cable (or two) from the output jack(s) to your amplifier(s). ÊIf you have one amp, run the cable from the left output.Ê

Ê

Ê

Connecting to your amp's RETURN or Power Amp (Loudster)/FRFR cabinet INPUTÊ

ÊConnect the outputs to your ampÕs FX Loop Return input or power amp input. ÊIf you have one amp, run the cable from the left output. ÊWhen using with non-FRFR amps, for best results, turn off the CAB module on Ampero IIÊ

Ê

Ê

Ê

On-stage dual outputs

In this scenario, we recommend to use Y-A/B chain template: Ê -Chain A: Normal output with cab sim, send directly to mixer via XLR outputs; Ê-Chain B: Without cab sim, send to stage instrument amps via unbalanced outputs for monitoring ÊIn this case, you can also pick up instrument amplifiers and mix them with Chain A outputs on mixer.Ê

Ê

Ê

Ê

Singer performing with instrumentsÊ

ÊIn this scenario, we recommend to use independent effects chains: Ê -Chain A: Processes instrument signal only and send to instrument amps via unbalanced outputs (or mixer/PA depending on your needs) Ê -Chain B: Processes vocal signal and send to mixer/full range speakers via XLR outputsÊ

Ê

Ê

Ê

Connecting your mixer, interface, headphones, Êand other equipmentÊ

ÊConnect Ampero IIÕs outputs to your mixer or audio interfaceÕs corresponding inputs. We recommend you use balanced connection for Êoptimal signal to noise ratio. If you want to send a mono signal out, use Ampero IIÕs left output channel. To prevent damage to your equipment, Êmake sure the mixer or interface channelÕs volume is muted before making any connections.Ê

Ê

Ê

Ê

Connecting to your computer as an audio interfaceÊ

Connect a USB cable from Ampero II to your computer. For PC Êsystems, youÕll need to set up the driver. Ampero II is plug and play for ÊmacOS. Run line out cables to your monitors, or use headphones.

Ê

Ê

Using AUX INÊ

Find an aux cable and connect to Ampero II with your music player. Then you can practice and improvise as much as you want with backing tracks or built-in drum/looper. Ê
