FX LOOP
This serial loop lets you patch in effects
devices: Connect the SEND jack to your effects
processor's input and the RETURN jack to the
processor's output. The ON button activates and
deactivates the loop.
TIP: You can also use the SEND jack to tap the
preamp signal, for example, to patch it to another
power amp or a tuner. Conversely, you can use
RETURN to feed signals into the TUBEMEISTER's
power amp. In combination with the POWER
SOAK and the RED BOX Recording Out, this gives
you a powerful recording front end that offers very
interesting re-amping and sound-shaping options for
just about every conceivable signal.
If you're a stomp-box user, you may want to try
the four-cord method: For devices that work best
plugged into the front end of the amp, simply
connect the guitar to the input of the first pedal in
the chain and the last pedal's output to the amp's
input. Now do the same for devices that work best
in the FX loop: Connect the pedal's send to the
amp's FX RETURN and the amp's FX SEND to the
pedal's return. This lets you route chorused, phased
and other modulated signals into the TubeMeister
36's preamp and time-based effects such as reverb
and delay in after the preamp. If your multi effector
features amp models, you can patch these straight to
the TubeMeister 36's power amp via the FX loop.
HEADS UP: You can bypass the TubeMeister
36's preamp by routing amp models into the FX
RETURN. However, when you switch channels its
power amp is re-voiced to deliver the best tone for that
channel. This means every channel sounds different
even if you decide to use only the power amp! You
probably want the amp model's sound and volume to
remain consistent with your original programming. If
so, you'll have to remember which channel you used
for programming and select it when you activate the
amp model. However, the better option is to program
a MIDI command to do this for you.
REVERB
This knob adjusts the intensity of the
onboard digital reverb. We configured the reverb
circuit so that the effect is more pronounced with the
CLEAN channel than with the overdriven channels.
The ON button activates and deactivates the reverb
effect. You can also switch it using a two-way
footswitch or via MIDI (see the respective sections to
learn more).
RED BOX
Invented by Hughes & Kettner, the
RED BOX has for years set the industry standard for
analog guitar DI boxes with built-in speaker
emulation. It converts the TubeMeister 36's speaker
out signal, which is tapped post power amp and pre
POWER SOAK, into a balanced, frequency-
compensated signal that you can patch directly to a
mixing console. This signal sounds very authentic
when piped through a PA or studio monitors.
NOTE: Use a microphone cord to patch this signal
to a mixing console. Make sure the mixing console's
XLR input is set to line level. If the mixing console
lacks XLR inputs or if these cannot be set to line level,
you will need an XLR-to-6.3 mm-(1/4")-jack adapter
readily available in music stores.
HEADS UP: The channels' MASTER settings and
the selected POWER SOAK mode directly affect
the signal level: Stepping up to 36 watts from 18
watts changes the RED BOX OUT level as it does
the SPEAKER OUT level. Stepping down from 18
watts to 5 watts, 1 watt and Speaker Off (for silent
recording) does not change the level! So you can
step up from 18 watts to 36 watts on the fly (via
