STEREO HEADPHONES JACK
By inserting a set of stereo headphones into this jack you will be able to monitor your sound or practice
without disturbing your neighbors. The headphone volume level is adjusted by the Master Volume. We
suggest you begin with the Master Volume full off (counter-clockwise), then slowly bring up the volume to
the desired level. If you hear some distortion in your headphones that is not present with the speakers
on, turn down the volume as you are probably overdriving your headphones and could ruin them.
Any impedance headphones will work. However, optimum impedance is 75 ohms.
WARNING: DO NOT USE MONO HEADPHONES. USE STEREO HEADPHONES ONLY!
POWER SWITCH
Pressing the Power Switch to the ON position activates the Workingman's 4004 electronics as indicated
by the red switch itself illuminating in red.
Please Note: Because of the tight regulation in the power supply, a transient (pop) may occur when
turning the unit on or off . This is normal and will not harm you speaker. If you wish to avoid this condi-
tion, turn the Speaker Switch to the down position before turning the unit on or off.
REAR PANEL FEATURES
EFFECTS LOOP
The Effects Loop is located POST EQ and PRE Master Volume in the signal path. The level appearing at
the Send jack is controlled by the Gain control on the front panel. If you are getting too hot a signal to
the input of your effect, reduce the level of the Gain control and raise the level of your Master Volume
control to retain similar overall volume levels. By using the Gain, Master Volume and Effects Blend con-
trols, optimum performance should be easily obtainable with any effects device.
The Effects Loop is designed as a "sidechain" (parallel) function similar to those found on mixing con-
soles. Use of the Effects Loop should greatly reduce noise generated by effects devices (as compared
to in-line effects loops). Additional features of this type of loop can be found below under the Receive
jack section.
SEND JACK
Run a shielded patch cable from the Send jack to the input of your effects device. This jack may be
used as an additional line level output, in which case its level is determined by the setting of the Gain
control.
RETURN JACK
Run a shielded patch cable from the output of your effects device to the Return jack.
One unique feature of the Return Jack is the ability to practice along with pre-recorded music. Insert a
sound source into the Return jack (make sure it is a mono source). Use the Effects Blend control to mix
the level of the recorded music with your instrument's level. The combined signal will be heard through
your speakers, headphones, or both. The send jack is not used.
