4.0 TRIAMP MK II OPERATION
4.1 CHANNEL SELECTION
The TriAmp ® MK II’s six fundamental sounds may
be accessed via the channel selector buttons on
the front panel or the TriAmp ® MK II Stageboard
are called up.
You can also execute switching functions via MIDI
using the MSM 1 MIDI Module (refer to Section 4.4).
If you want to use an external MIDI switcher, you
will need to make an adapter cable that acces-
ses the Stageboard jack, wiring it according to
the pin assignments shown in Diagram below.
Channel selection is executed via momentary
contact; FX LOOP activation is executed by
switching, namely by applying pin 8 to pin 5 (gro-
und).

4.2 TRIAMP ® MK II AND
SIGNAL PROCESSORS
The TriAmp ® MK II is equipped with a variable
effects loop (serial/parallel). In parallel mode,
the effect signal is added to the original preamp
signal so that you can dial in a setting where the
dry signal remains audible during the brief delays
that multieffector switching is prone to cause.
This face-saving feature prevents glaringly evident
and potentially embarrassing sonic drop-out the
LEVEL knob controls the mix. The passive nature
of the mix guarantees that the original signal is
not sent through any solid-state circuitry. When the
FX LOOP is deactivated, the buffer stage for the
effects side is switched off via a relay, thereby
ensuring that the FX LOOP never compromises
the amp's sound quality.
NOTE:
As a rule of thumb, the best method for using sig-
nal processors is to set the output of the processor
itself to maximum effect (balance = 100%), and
then mix the processed signal with the original
signal via the LEVEL control to avoid the sound
degradation an effects device might otherwise
introduce. Switch the FX LOOP button on the front
panel to OFF if you want to switch the FX LOOP via
the Stageboard or MIDI commands.
