Mix In Jack
By using this jack, you can practice along with a CD player or other audio device, or even jam with a
friend. Simply plug the external "source" stereo signal (from a CD player, cassette deck, MiniDisc,
friend's instrument, etc.) into this jack. The MIX IN jack has a fixed level, so the external source's
volume control should be used for balancing levels between the two signals. (The L.A. Series Volume
Control will still work for controlling the level of anything plugged into the L.A. Series INPUT jack.) The
MIX IN jack will accept either a stereo (most recorded music) or mono (most instruments) signal.
Ef fects Loop? Well, Yes. Sor t Of...
No, there's nothing marked "Effects Loop" on your L.A. Series amplifier... but that doesn't mean
you can't connect an external effects device to the system in "loop" fashion. Use the TUNER OUT
jack as the "effect send" and route that signal to the input of your effects device. Then route the
output of that effects device back to the MIX IN jack (which acts as the "effect return") on your
L.A. Series combo amp. Use the level controls on your effects device to control the amount of
effect blended in with the original signal and—voilá!—you've got an effects loop!
REAR PANEL FEATURES
A/C Line (Mains) Fuse
The line fuse can open (blow) due to power surges or high power line transients. This fuse will
also open in the unlikely event of an electronics failure inside your amplifier.
A/C Line Cord Receptacle
Accepts a standard A/C power cable (supplied with the L.A. Series in the United States), used
with almost all current musical, professional and household electronic devices. We recommend
taking great care when packing up. Put the cable in your instrument case, accessory case, etc. If
you misplace it, replacements can be found at almost any appliance store or supermarket.
Please Note: The rating for this cable is 3-conductor, 18 gauge, 10 amperes. If replacement is
necessary, or if you wish to buy a longer cable, look for the correct rating on the cable.
