This diagram illustrates two common applications in which unbalanced guitar signals are converted
into balanced signals. In the first example the guitar is connected directly to the GI100, which in turn
feeds the console. No guitar amp is used. In this case, the PAD switches should be deactivated with
the VIRTUAL CAB switched on or off depending on the sound desired.
The second example shows the GI100 being driven by the loudspeaker output of a guitar amp.
If you’re using a tube amp, it’s very important to connect an impedance load—preferably a
speaker—to the DIRECT LINK TO CABINET output in order to prevent damage to your amp.
For this application, start with one PAD switch depressed and the GND LIFT switch activated.
We also recommend using the VIRTUAL CAB speaker simulation for an authentic guitar sound.
