A cab simulator switch enables sending the input signal through an emulated amp directly to a mixer without using a physical amp. There's a switch for either +20 dB of gain to boost weak signals or a -20 dB pad to prevent clipping from louder sources. A ground-lift switch defeats ground-loop hum. When not using the DI, the true-bypass switch eliminates the circuitry of the pedal from the signal path. Balanced and unbalanced outputs provide the option to send the signal to an amp, a mixer, or both. This pedal includes hook-and-loop strips for convenient pedalboard mounting. Its heavy-duty metal enclosure protects the internal components and ensures reliable performance.
