Loop Level Rotary Control (12 Band) - TRACE ELLIOT AH1000-12 Guide D'utilisation

(29) LOOP LEVEL rotary control (12 Band)

This sets the overall level of the signal while the LOOP is on. Therefore, if the LOOP is not selected
this has no effect, but when the LOOP is selected this is a very important control for balancing the
levels.
The control has been calibrated so that if a simple loop is set up, SERIES, FULL RANGE, MONO,
then with the control at the 12 o'clock setting there will be unity gain when switching the LOOP on
and off. Turning the control anti-clockwise will reduce the level when LOOP is selected, clockwise
will increase the level. If the LOOP is selected and the LOOP LEVEL is at "0" then there will be
no output. A wide range of level is available due to the many permutations of effects configuration.
If in any doubt, set this to the 12 o'clock setting and then adjust either way to balance the level with
the dry signal.
The EFFECTS LOOPS section is a highly sophisticated design with multiple sends, returns and
other controls that allow myriad combinations of connection to external devices and, therefore, all
sorts of sonic potential.
The nominal level has been set to -10dBV to be able to work with most commonly used effects
units. If the effects units have their own level controls please make sure these are set correctly to
prevent distortion occurring anywhere in the overall system.
Effects themselves aren't to everyone's taste, but that doesn't mean this feature won't be useful.
These features have been designed for use as anything from a simple boost function to a means to
connect to multiple different external devices.
Here are some suggested uses/configurations, some using effects and others not:-
➢ Volume Boost: simply set the LOOP for PARALLEL setting and turn up the LOOP LEVEL.
Switching the LOOP in will give up to 6dB of boost. Useful for solos.
➢ Simple Full Range Series Loop: connect FULL SEND to input of effects unit, MONO
RETURN to output of effects unit, switch to SERIES with LOOP LEVEL at 12 o'clock.
Switching the LOOP in will route the signal through the effects unit at unity gain.
➢ Stereo Loop with Chorus on high frequencies: connect HI PASS SEND to input of Chorus
unit, connect LEFT and RIGHT RETURNS to outputs of Chorus unit. Set dry signal on Chorus
unit to minimum. Switch to PARALLEL and set LOOP LEVEL to 12 o'clock. Switching
LOOP on will apply stereo Chorus to the upper frequencies while keeping the low end mono and
clear. Similar set up can be used for Flanging, Phasing, etc.
➢ Improved Octaver triggering: connect LO PASS SEND to input of Octaver, connect MONO
RETURN to output of Octaver. Set dry signal on Octaver to minimum. Switch to PARALLEL
with LOOP LEVEL at 12 o'clock. Switching LOOP on will add the Octaver effect as expected
but as the signal being sent to it has far less harmonics the Octaver will be able to produce a
clearer more stable tone.
➢ Stereo Chorus on high frequencies, Octaver on low: connect both pedals as per the last two
configurations. Switching LOOP on will add both effects in parallel therefore enabling both to
work without interfering the other.
