plugging it into things
Every jack, what it is for, and the two or three that cause most cabling trouble.
the one thing
For a mono rig, always use the LEFT/MONO jack of a pair. Using the right one on its own gives you half your effects and a thin sound.

inputs and outputs

GUITAR IN
TS, ¼″rear panel
Your instrument input, with a switchable pad and selectable impedance.
- Worth knowing
- This is the only instrument input. The Floor adds AUX IN and MIC IN. The LT has neither, so its input block list is shorter.
the mono rule
Outputs come in stereo pairs, and only the left jack of a pair carries a summed mono signal. One cable from the right jack gives you one side of a stereo image: quieter, thinner, and missing anything panned away from it.
The LT has one volume knob for every output, headphones included. They all move together.
