Quiana and Fandango 1.0 p 13
Before you connect a signal processor to your amp, either turn the amp off or to
standby. Use high-quality shielded cords between the amp and processor. Never use a
speaker cord.
Setting Effects Loop levels
1. After you connect the amp's Send and Return with the signal processor's input and
output, set the amp's Send Level and Return Level between 1 and 2.
2. Plug in your guitar, turn the signal processor on, and then turn on the amp (or flip the
standby switch).
3. Set the amp's Effects Loop Send Level and the signal processor's input level so that
you don't overload the processor. Keep your ears open for unwanted distortion from the
signal processor (you'll know it by its crackly, unmusical sound). Whack a few chords on
your guitar to check that your settings are correct.
4. Now turn up the Effects Loop Return knob until the proper volume and overdrive are
dialed in. You'll probably have to experiment with the signal processor's output level
until you get the best sound and lowest amount of noise.
5. Make sure that you consider the straight/effects blend at the signal processor, since
all of your Preamp's signal is passed through the Effects Loop. You may also use the
"mix" output, if the unit has one, adjusting the mix on the effects processor to suit your
taste. Note: If delay sounds such as slap echo, reverb, and repeat delay will be your
primary choice of effects, usually a 50% wet mix from the effects should be used.
The Effects Loop Send is configured so that it is always active, so you can use it as a
variable output. Note that if you use the Send to drive slave amps, etc., and have
nothing plugged into the Return jack, the signal still passes from the Preamp to the
power amp even when the Effects Loop is internally bypassed.
Connecting The Quiana/Fandango With Other Gear
The following illustrations will help you to properly connect your Quiana/Fandango to
other amps, extension speaker cabinets, and recording and P.A. gear. Make sure the
amp and all other gear are turned off whenever you make or change any connections.
