MK IV Question

[CRobbins]

Can you use the satellite send, or the slave out, to go into the input of another guitar amp?

The Satellite send is line level and the slave out is line level and more (depending on how you set the slave level). Neither of these are appropriate for plugging directly into the input of another guitar amp.

If your amp has an effects loop, you can plug these into the effects return (sometimes called power amp input on the older amps)

By they way, are you using the effects loop on your Mark IV? If so, use the Satellite send to go the effects return of another amp. However, if you are not using the effects loop on the Mark IV, you can use the effects send (or slave out) to go to the effects return of the other amp.

Does anyone know if the Satellite send works if you are not using the effects loop on a Mark IV? (Does it acts like 2nd effects send?) Or do you have to have something plugged into the adjacent effects return to have a signal come out of the satellite send?

Thanks. I am using the fx loop. I have a 63 vibrasonic that I am thinking about adding to my rig. I guess I'll have to get another ABY switch that will work with 3 amps..... :twisted:

The Sat Send will have dry signal (like a second fx send) when the loop is switched off. When the loop is engaged you must have a signal going into the left fx return to get a signal out of the sat send.

The Sat Send will have dry signal (like a second fx send) when the loop is switched off. When the loop is engaged you must have a signal going into the left fx return to get a signal out of the sat send.

So I guess that if you plug a dummy cable into the left fx return, you could turn the Loop 'on' to turn off the Satellite Send, and then turn the Loop 'off' to turn on the Satellite Send?

CRobbins, that is a mighty sweet specimen of a Vibrosonic, man! I bet it has tone to die for!!
