Live Performance Setup
For live performance, connect the Amp Academy to a mixer or PA system using the XLR DI OUT for a balanced signal. You can also use the 1/4" OUT to connect to a powered FRFR (Full Range, Flat Response) speaker for a personal on-stage monitor. Integrate time-based effects (like modulation or delay) into the INSERT loop using the provided Y-cable.

Nastavení nahrávání
Připojte Amp Academy directly to a recording interface via USB-C or XLR DI OUT for instant, high-quality guitar tone without needing an amplifier or microphones. The USB-C connection allows for direct audio streaming to your computer. Ensure IR OUT switches are in the UP position if you wish to use the IR signal for 1/4" out. For DI OUT, hold A/B footswitch and power the pedal to toggle IR signal (A/B indicators flash 3 times for IR ON, no flash for IR OFF).
