Tone Controls
The Treble, Bass, and Middle tone controls are to help you shape your sound.
Reverb Control
The Reverb control adjusts the overall reverb level. The YGL1 is equipped with a Belton Digi-
log® reverb for authentic vintage reverb.
Amp In / Out Send & Return Jacks
The Amp In and Amp Out (send and return) jacks of the YGL1 allow convenient use of external
effect units. Simply connect a 1/4-inch phone cable to the Send jack of the YGL1 and then connect
this cable to the Input of your effects unit. To send the processed signal back to the YGL1, connect
the output of the effects unit to the Return jack of the YGL1.
The Amp Out (send) Jack can also be used as a direct line out (preamp-out). The -10dBu
output is ideal for most guitar effects pedals and professional signal processors. You can
also use this output to slave the YGL1 with another guitar amplifier by plugging into the
Amp In (return) jack of the slave amplifier.
The 1/4-inch Amp In (return) jack is usually used as the return for your effects loop. It allows an
input signal to pass directly to the power amplifier. The master Volume control section regulates
the signal, so you can add Reverb.
Footswitch Jack
Connecting a footswitch to the 1/4-inch TRS Footswitch jack will allow you to defeat the
internal reverb or add a 6dB gain boost to the overall level for a quick solo boost.
The switching is accomplished with internal FETs so there is no audio flowing through the
footswitch cable. Footswitch-induced noise is never an issue. The YGL1 is compatible with
most aftermarket latching dual-footswitch pedals.
External Speaker Jack
The chassis mounted ¼ inch jacks allow convenient connection of an 8-ohm external speaker
cabinet. If you disconnect the internal 12-inch Celestion® speaker, you can connect up to two
8 ohm external cabinets.
