21. CIRCUITBREAKER:The B5R employs an AC line
circuit breaker to help protect against damage due to excessive current demands. If the amplifier stops work-
ing, check the circuit breaker. If it has opened, the but -
ton will be protruding and showing a contrasting color .
Y ou can reset the circuit breaker by pushing it in until it
latches. The breaker must cool down for a short time
before the button will latch. If the circuit breaker opens repeatedly, have the amplifier checked by a qualifiedservice person.
22. ACLINE IN: Firmly insert the supplied AC power
cord into this socket until it is fully seated. Plug the male end of the cord into a grounded AC outlet. DO NOT
DEFEAT THE GROUND PRONG OF THE AC PLUG!
23. SPEAKER OUTPUTS: The 1/4 jacks offer a con-
venient method of connecting to speaker cabinets
using cables terminated with 1/4 plugs. However ,
when using the amplifier at or near its full output power ,
using the Speakon
®jack is recommended. 24,25. TRANSFORMER BALANCED LINE OUT
JACKS: These jacks supply a pre-Master, line level
signal for connection to a house mixing board, record -
ing console or external amplifier(s). The 1/4 jack (25) provides a balancedor an unbalanced signal; the XLR-
type jack (24) provides a balancedsignal.
26. EFFECTSLOOPRETURN: When using external
effects, connect the effects output into this jack using a shielded instrument cable.
27. EFFECTSLOOPSEND: When using an external
signal processor, connect this jack to the input of the
effect using a shielded instrument cable.
28. TUNEROUT :This jack is provided for connection
to an electronic tuner and is always live, even when
the Mute switch (3) is engaged, allowing for silent tun -
ing as well as a monitor feed which remains active when the other outputs are muted. 29. POWERAMPINPUT
:This jack connects directly to
the power amp for use with an external preamp. When
using an external source, connect the OUTPUT of the
source to this jack by means of a shielded instrument cable to feed the signal into the power amp section.
The internal signal is disconnected when a plug is
inserted.
30. PREAMPOUTPUT :This jack is a direct preamp
output for use with an external power amplifier, mixing board, external effects, etc. Connect the external unitinput to this jack using a shielded instrument cable.
31. OCT AVE/COMBINE FOOTSWITCH: Connect a
two button footswitch to this jack for remote control of the Octave and Combine features. The tip connection
controls the Octave feature and the ring connection controls the Combine feature.
32. CHANNEL FOOTSWITCH: Connect a single but -
ton footswitch to this jack for remote channel selection.
