Handleiding

Switchblade

english

Note: The footswitch changes the Channels only, and not presets.

That is, it activates the most recent Channel settings and it does not

switch effects.

5.3 FX LOOP

If you wish to use an external effect device, you can insert it into the

FX LOOP.

5.3.1 FX SEND

Connect this jack to your effects processor‘s input jack.

5.3.2 FX LEVEL

This button cuts the FX SEND’s output level by 10 dB and boosts the

FX RETURN’s input sensitivity by 10 dB to match the FX Loop to the

effect device’s input level. Press this button when using processors

designed to handle instrument levels.

5.3.3 FX RETURN

Connect this jack to your effects processor‘s output.

5.4 MIDI

SWITCHBLADE is MIDI-enabled, meaning that it communicates with

other MIDI devices.

5.4.1 MIDI IN

Connect the included Hughes & Kettner

FSM 432 or any other MIDI

sender to this port so that you can select and switch Presets remotely.

Though this is a seven-pin port, you can connect a standard five-pin

MIDI cable. The two additional terminals serve to supply phantom

power to the FSM 432.

5.4.2 MIDI THRU

This port forwards signals patched into the MIDI IN port to other

devices. You can connect any external MIDI-enabled signal processor

or any MIDI receiver that you wish to switch synchronously with

SWITCHBLADE.

5.5 SPEAKERS

SWITCHBLADE offers separate outputs for all standard impedances:

You have 1 x 4-ohm, 1 x 8/2 x 16-ohm, and 1 x 16-ohm outputs at

your disposal. Always ensure the impedance (that is, the ohm value) is

correct. Mismatches can corrupt the sound (high-impedance speaker

connected to a low-impedance output) and harm the amp (low-

impedance speaker connected to a high-impedance output).

Note: You may of course connect several cabinets to one port, even

if they have different impedances. Usually speaker cabinets are

connected in Parallel. Two cabinets of the same impedance connected

in Parallel have half the impedance of a single cabinet. For example, if

you have two 8-ohm cabinets, you must connect these to the 4-ohm

output. If you connect two cabinets with different impedances (R1, R2)

in parallel, the resulting resistance (R) is calculated by multiplying the

two individual resistances and dividing their product by the sum of the

individual resistances. Use the following formula to do this:

R = ( R1 x R2 ) / ( R1 + R2 )

Take as an example a one 8-ohm and one 16-ohm cabinet:

R = ( 8 x 16 ) / ( 8 + 16 )

R = 128 / 24

R = 5.33

The cabinets’ impedance may never be lower than the amp’s output

impedance, so this combination must be connected to the 4-ohm

output. However, we strongly advised against configuring setups with

mismatched cabinets, and highly recommend using combinations of

cabinets with the same impedance!

6 MIDI Control and Programming

6.1 FSM 432

The included Hughes & Kettner

FSM 432 MIDI board is a remote

control serving to select the 128 memory slots conveniently arranged

in 32 Banks of four presets each. You can easily configure setups any

way you wish, say by assigning the four presets of a bank to a song.

6.1.1 PRESET A B C D

Presets within a bank can be activated directly, that is, switching from

A to B within the same bank occurs immediately. The LED above the

A,B,C,D buttons indicates the preset.

6.1.2 BANK UP/DOWN

If you want to call up a preset in another bank, you can select the bank

via UP and DOWN while continuing to play using the current preset.

The number of the bank is indicated in the display, and it flashes until

you select a preset via A,B,C,D. Not until then will SWITCHBLADE load

the new preset.

DIRECT MODE is available if you wish to trigger a direct program

change via bank Up/Down. In this mode, the FSM 432 will not wait for

your input, instead switching immediately, for example, from preset

B in bank 16 to preset B in bank 17 (UP) bank or 15 (DOWN). Direct

Mode is activated as follows:

• Press and hold TAP, and then press PRESET A.

• First release PRESET A, and then TAP: The decimal point in the

display lights up.

Follow the same sequence to deactivate DIRECT MODE. Volatile rather

than permanent, DIRECT MODE is automatically deactivated when you

power SWITCHBLADE down!
