On Stage

Connect a pedalboard containing Amp Academy to a mixer or PA system for excellent tone, control, and flexibility in a live situation. Monitor through the house monitoring system or in-ear monitors For a dedicated personal on- stage monitor, connect your pedalboard to a powered FRFR speaker.
NOTE:
Because the purpose of Amp Academy is to deliver amp and cab tones, it is not desirable to enable Amp Academy in front of a guitar amp. If you use the same pedalboard both with an amp and in direct situations, simply toggle IR OUT switch to down position to bypass IR signal when using your board with a guitar amp. (We suggest you to connect 1/4″ OUT to amp’s power amp in return.) Engage IR signal with DI out to powered FRFR speaker, or PA system.
NOTE:
If you want to engage/disengage IR signal with DI OUT, please HOLD AVB foot switch and power the pedal. IR ON: AVB indicators flash 3 times, IR OFF: no A/B indicators flash.

In Studio
Connect Amp Academy directly to a recording interface for great guitar tone instantly without the need to set up an amp or microphones. (Toggle IR OUT switches to up position if you want to use the IR signal for 1/4″ out. If you want to engage/disengage IR Signal with DI OUT, please HOLD AVB foot switch and power the pedal. IR ON: AVB indicators flash 3 times, IR OFF: no AB indicators flash.)
