Setup/settings for AM4 into tube amp input

[sir-vector]

Hi,

I’m looking into the AM4 and one use case would be to use it as an FX unit to go into the guitar input of a tube amp (e.g. local session openers where I plug into the backline Fender amp).

How would one go about this? Use a TS cable from the AM4 send output into the amp input? And bypass the amp block, set output routing to summed mono and adjust the analog output level for roughly unity gain?

Thanks!

The output of the AM4 is line level and is not designed to go into the guitar input (instrument input) of an amplifier. You will have undesirable results. Have a look at the manual for appropriate ways to connect to an amplifier.

Pretty much. But remember that you can build any preset you want in the AM4. So instead of bypassing the Amp block, just don’t use an Amp block at all. That way, you get one more block for an effect.
