STAGE
LINK is a custom amp accessory designed to work
with London Power's new line of guitar amps.
STAGE LINK does not handle audio signals. It
ties into the Mute
jacks on the rear of the new amps, to allow one-of-four
amps to be active at a time.
In
a multi-amp rig, system connections are made as follows:
1) The guitar is plugged into the Instrument
Input jack on the first amp.
2) The Link
jack of the first amp is patched to the Instrument
Input of the second amp using a standard
guitar cord.
3) The Link
jack of the second amp is patched to the Instrument
Input of the third amp, and so on.
4) The speaker cabinet is plugged into the Speaker
jack on the first amp.
5) The SPKR-Link
of the first amp is patched to the Speaker
jack of the second amp using speaker cable.
6) The SPKR-link
of the second amp is patched to the Speaker
jack of the third amp, and so on.
7) Stage Link junction box is patched into
the Mute
jacks of the respective amplifiers using guitar cords
for all but one. The stereo cord supplied with Stage
Link patches into one of the Mute
jacks - it does not matter which one. This jack provides
power to Stage Link. The junction box patches
to the Stage Link foot-switch via the multi-conductor
DIN cable. Additional foot-switch boxes can be patched
together using the second DIN jack on the foot-switch.
All will indicate which amp is selected.
At
initial turn-on, all amps are muted. Select an amp
by momentarily pressing its associated switch. The
Stage Link will indicate the amp number selected,
and the Active
LED on the amp selected will also light. New selections
via the Stage Link will automatically cancel
the previous selection.
Connection
to the SUSTAINOR amp requires two connections,
as SUSTAINOR is two amps in one chassis. The
player can elect to control just one half of SUSTAINOR
via the STAGE LINK, with the other half active
all the time.
When
Super Scaler is used, as is common on stage,
the Super Scaler is tied in between the first
amp's Speaker
output and the cabinet itself. In this way, all amps
can use the Super Scaler.
