User manual ART FX-1

[. . . ] All connections are made at the back of the FX-1. Standard 1/4" inputs and outputs make patching simple. Note: For best audio quality, always use high quality cables. Input The input is single-ended (unbalanced) with an impedance of 470k ohms. [. . . ] The result is a completely new sound for you to work with. Use the More function for those times when the preset you've selected is "almost" what you need. Bypass Each bank of presets has one Bypass setting. To bypass the FX-1, simply select the BY option with the preset encoder. Applications: If using the FX-1 with a single (mono) input, connect the cable to the left input. The FX-1 will automatically send this signal to both processors and will produce a stereo image at the output. With a mixer: Reverb Send and Return Connect a cable between your mixer's send and the FX-1's left input. If using a stereo send, or two sends, connect the second send to the FX-1's right input. Connect the FX-1's left and right outputs to your mixer's returns. Input Channel Loop Some mixers are designed to accommodate effects on each input channel via "channel inserts, " or "patch points. " These often consist of a single 1/4" phone jack acting as both send and return, requiring a dual-mono-to-TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) plug configuration. Check your mixer's owner's manual to determine which plug of the dual-mono-to-TRS cable acts as a send, and which acts as a return. Connect the insert send to the FX-1's left input and the FX1's left output to the insert's return. Adjust the mix control for the 4 5 desired blend of dry and processed signal. With an amplifier: Straight into an amp When patching the FX-1 into a guitar (or other instrument) amplifier's input, plug the instrument into the FX-1's input. Connect a cable from the FX-1's output to the amp's input. Adjust the mix control for the desired blend of dry and processed signal. In an effects loop If you're patching the FX-1 into an amplifier's effects loop, use one cable between the amp's effects Send jack and the FX-1's Input. Run a second cable from the FX-1's Output to the amp's Effects Return jack. If the return is stereo, connect the FX-1's other output to the second Return jack. Set the FX-1's mix control to its midpoint to start. Set the Input/Output Inst/line switches to match the Bypass level. Use the Mix control to set the desired effect level.
