UNDER THE COVER
Removing Mixing Link’s bottom cover reveals two user accessible features: 9V Battery clip
and Tails On/Off switch. When making changes to these two features, please do not touch
any other parts of the circuit board or you risk damaging your Mixing Link.
9V BATTERY
Mixing Link is capable of running from a standard 9V battery, we recommend alkaline. Set
the 48V switch to OFF to disconnect the battery from the circuit.
TAILS ON/OFF
Tails is the common term for an echo or delay’s repeats or the sound of your note
decaying on a reverb effect.
Tails OFF: When the FX Loop is deactivated any reverb tail or delay repeats that the FX
Loop is producing will be muted immediately upon deactivating the FX Loop. Both “TO FX”
output and “FROM FX” input are muted.
Tails ON: A delay’s repeats or a reverb’s tail will continue to be audible upon disengaging
the FX Loop. Although the
“TO FX” output is immediately muted so no new audio goes out
into the FX Loop when Tails is ON, the “FROM FX” input remains live and its signal is
always present at the MIX knob.
If Tails is set to ON and the FX Loop is disengaged, turning the MIX knob will change the
volume of the “FROM FX” signal but it will not affect the MIC pre-amp’s output level, which
remains at unity.
To change the Tails setting, remove the bottom cover of Mixing Link and flip the DIP
switch labeled SW6, located just above the footswitch. When set to the right direction
(towards “TO AMP”) Tails is set to ON. In the left direction (towards “INST IN”) Tails is set
to OFF.
Tails Off is the factory default setting.
