FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for remote footswitch to switch between the NORMAL and DRIVE channels and to switch the stereo CHORUS on and off. For proper operation of the footswitch, both DRIVE SELECT (item M) and CHORUS SELECT (item R) switches should be out. NOTE: Any good quality patch cord will work with the remote footswitch, however a speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cord when it's available. T. EFFECTS LOOP MONO SEND - This jack provides an unbalanced mono output signal from the preamp at a point before the internal CHORUS circuits. This output can be used in conjunction with the MONO RETURN (item U) as a patch point for mono effects devices. (SEE: EFFECTS LOOP CONNECTION DIAGRAMS). The MONO SEND can also be used to feed recording and sound reinforcement mixers a dry signal. (For a signal with internal CHORUS, use the STEREO SEND (item V) jack.) Additionally this output can be used to drive another M-80 CHORUS as a slave amp. This is done by connecting a standard guitar cord from the MONO SEND jack of the master amplifier to the MONO RETURN jack of the slave. U. EFFECTS LOOP MONO RETURN - This unbalanced jack inputs signal to the stereo chorus generating circuitry, which drives the stereo power amp section. It automatically disconnects the preamp and reverb circuitry when used. This is useful when using the Mono Effects Loop option or when using the M-80 CHORUS as a slave amplifier for a mono signal source. The CHORUS is active in the slave so that a stereo image will be generated if it is used. NOTE: In order to function properly, a dummy plug or an extra guitar cord must be inserted to INPUT 2(item B) of the slave amp with its VOLUME controls turned down. V. EFFECTS LOOP STEREO SEND - This jack provides an unbalanced stereo output from the preamp, reverb and chorus circuits of the M-80 CHORUS. This output can be used in conjunction with the STEREO RETURN (item W) as a patch point for stereo effects devices. (SEE: EFFECTS LOOP CONNECTION DIAGRAMS). The Stereo Effects Loop jacks are standard 1/4 inch TipRing-Sleeve types, with the left channel signal on the tip and the right channel signal on the ring. This send can also be used to feed a stereo signal to two channels of a recording or sound reinforcement mixer. Additionally this output can be used to drive another M-80 CHORUS as a slave amp. This is done by connecting a shielded stereo cord from the STEREO SEND jack of the master amplifier to the STEREO RETURN of the slave. W. EFFECTS LOOP STEREO RETURN - This stereo jack inputs signal directly to the left and right power amps. It automatically disconnects the preamp, reverb and chorus circuitry when used. This is useful when using the M-80 CHORUS as a slave amplifier for a stereo signal source. X. HEADPHONES - This jack provides an output to standard stereo headphones for private listening. NOTE: Use of this jack automatically disables the main speakers. CAUTION: Prolonged listening at high levels may be hazardous to your hearing! This jack can also be used as an unbalanced stereo line output, which is post effects-loops, by using a standard TipRing-Sleeve 1/4 inch phone plug connection. (Mono plugs may be used at this jack for headphones or a line out, but the sound quality of the internal CHORUS, if used, may be degraded slightly. If a mono plug must be used at this jack, it is suggested that a stereo plug with Tip and Ring connected together be inserted at the STEREO SEND (item V) jack. This will restore the lush quality of the internal CHORUS.) Y. POWER SWITCH -Turns AC power ON and OFF. When the switch is OFF the amplifier is completely shut down.
