victor5string Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Just got one of these pedals of a very nice chap on this forum, and i just love it the pedal is never turned off it works so well for what i do(rock/metal). but and i know this may seem a silly question but what does Float and Ploat do on the DI swithc in know ground lift will emove hum but the others i have no idea. also when using the pedal as a pre-amp for recording can i use the headphone soceket at the same time to get my own siganl to some headphones or would this cut the singnal to the desk? cheers Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground means the pin 1 of the XLR connector is connected to ground, Float means it's totally disconnected and Ploat means it's connected to ground via a 10R resistor and a 0.1uF cap. Its there to remove ground loop problems should there be any. Yes you can use the headphone socket at the same time. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
