Dual Recto slaved into Mark V

barryswanson · Sep 11, 2015

I'm always trying to work out how to smooth out my Recto so I probably shouldn't have bought it lol But I was thinking about running it as a slave to my Mark V. What are the precautions I should take? My understanding is this.

Mark V >>>>>slave out>>>>>Recto FX return with both amp having to have speakers cabs connected to them. Anything else i should know?

Nope.

So I was just laying in bed and reading the manual for my dual recto and came across the following;

Connect â€œDummyâ€ plug or loose cable to SEND jack. (This prevents any possible loading that could result in diminished RETURN sensitivity.)

This was in the section about using the recto as a power amp. What exactly does this mean?

No idea. I can't find that in my Roadster manual. Is your loop parallel?

barryswanson · Sep 17, 2015

It's a Multi-Watt so it should be serial, I think. Its under the "Output Control' section

Probably the send jack is a switched jack that disconnects the forward path. If you don't put a plug in it, you will backdrive the preamp output, which will load whatever is driving the FX return.

I think you are right on.
