5.3 Effects
Internal Effects
The Compact 80 pro has two built-in (internal) digital
effect processors. With the select switch you can
choose between 4 different effects.
1 = reverb 1 (short)
2 = reverb 2 (long)
3 = delay (320 ms)
4 = chorus
You can control the effects separately for ch. 1/2 and 3/4.
The effects-level control determines the intensity
of the effect.
(fully anticlockwise = no effect).
In addition, the effect is assigned to channels 1 and 2 or
channels 3 and 4 by the effects pan control (see below).
External Effects
Furthermore an additional effect unit (external effect)
may be connected to the amplifier. For this purpose use
the send and return sockets on the rear side of the amp-
lifier (send is connected to the input, return is connected
to the output of the external device).
The intensity of the effect is determined by the external
effects unit.
The external effect loop works in parallel mode.
A parallel loop is intended to add the effect component
(for example, reverb) to the original signal.
pan
Using the effects pan control you can blend both effects
continuously into the amplifier's channels:
Left stop:
internal effect on channel 1
external effect on channel 2
Center pos.:
internal effect on channel 1 + 2
external effects on channel 1 + 2
Right stop:
internal effect on channel 2
external effect on channel 1
(The same goes for channels 3 and 4)
Avoid distorted effects
Clipping in the internal or external effect unit may not be
indicated by the clip light. If distortion is audible in the
effect, reduce the gain controls until the distortion disap-
pears. Subsequently you can restore the previous volume
with the master control.

5.4 Couple in
You can monitor the sound of another amplifier via the
couple-in input.
Connect your amplifier using the couple-in jack with an
XLR cable to the DI-out of the second amplifier.
Adjust the couple level control so that the second
amplifier can be monitored at the desired volume on
your amp.
With two Compact 80 pro this works in both directions
at the same time.
You need 2 XLR cables.
Connect each couple in to the DI-out of the other
amplifier.
5.5 Footswitch
The footswitch sockets at the back of the device can
be used to connect footswitches for muting (mute) or
turning on/off the effects (fx mute).
Dual footswitches require a stereo jack lead. See also
'controls and connections' .
Suitable footswitches are on-off toggle switches, which
are turned on by stepping once, and turned off by step-
ping once again.
