ONBOARD EFFECTS LOOP
These guitars are wired with a built in effects loop.
This allows the guitars master volume to be after the
effects (stomp boxes, etc.). The guitar has a stereo
jack and a normal mono output jack.
When the stereo jack is engaged, with a stereo "Y"
cable, the guitar signal exits the instrument on one
channel of the stereo cord, is routed through the rack
or stomp box effects, is routed back to the guitar on
the other stereo cord channel, then goes through the
the guitars master volume, and finally goes out the
normal mono jack, down the regular mono cord to the
amplifier. This way the effects are always driven at
full guitar output, and the master volume on the
guitar controls the volume of the guitar plus the
effects.
There is also a effects loop bypass switch. This
allows the guitarist to switch from sending the signal
through the effects loop OR to travel straight to the
amp the traditional way by using the on/on mini toggle
switch.
Scott has taken this idea to the next level by incorporating a new "Master Gain" knob that lets you boost your send signal, unity to 6db, along with the Master Volume control which lets you dial in your final output. If you want your effects to receive a stronger signal while playing, simply turn up the gain knob and adjust the master volume to the desired output level. Also, with the passive/active switch, you can go from a completely passive to a boosted signal that is adjustable. The new custom preamp, voiced for transparency and clarity, changes impedance from high to low helping to bring out the ultimate harmonic complexity your guitar has to offer.
