MICROPHONE INPUT: XLR input designed for dynamic
microphones.
BALANCED DI OUT: Balanced XLR output of the MONTANA
preamp. Use it to route the amp's signal to a mixing console or
additional power amp. This output is post-voicing section - in
other words, the tone knobs influence this signal. The Master
Volume knob, however, does not.

4 . O P E R ATING THE MONTA N A
Handling the MONTANA couldn't be easier:
Connect your acoustic guitar to the WARM or BRIGHT input,
depending on your instrument's output level. Adjust the
volume of the guitar channel via the VOLUME knob. Use the
3-band tone controls and the CONTOUR knob to dial in a
sound that best suits your instrument, playing style and
personal taste. If you're using your guitar to accompany
vocals, you can connect your microphone to the
MICROPHONE INPUT. Adjust the MIC VOLUME knob to dial in
the desired balance of levels between your guitar and voice.
The microphone channel does not feature separate tone
controls-we fine-tuned its frequency response to suit the
human voice.
Use the REVERB knob to add as much reverb to the master
signal as you need and like. Again, the microphone channel is
automatically assigned less reverb than the instrument channel
to avoid feedback problems. Use the MASTER VOL knob to
adjust the overall volume of the MONTANA.
4.1 THE MONTANA AND FX DEVICES
The MONTANA is equipped with a serial and a parallel FX loop.
With the serial effects loop, the entire preamp signal is routed
through the effects device that is inserted into the loop; in the
parallel loop, the effects signal is added to the preamp signal.
The serial effects loop of the guitar channel is located before
the EQ section. Consequently, when you've connected an
effects device to this circuit, you can use the amp's tone
controls to influence the effect signal.
The parallel effects loop influences both the instrument
channel and the microphone channel equally. You can
