Notes
Unlike the other parameters of the Input stage the parameter Input Source is global and not rig-specific. Alternative Input on the rear panel can now be effectively used in rack setups, however is more noisy than the front instrument Input. When Input Source is set to Alternative Input, the Alternative Input won’t work as long as a cable is connected to the front Input. While Input Source is set to SPDIF Input, the front input is still active, if no SPDIF cable is connected or no SPDIF signal is detected. The front Input has got the ‚right-of-way‘ in order to avoid unintented loss of the guitar signal.
