2.6 MIDI
This port accepts a MIDI footswitch or another MIDI control
used for switching channels. Switching options are the CLEAN,
LEAD, ULTRA-LEAD and CRUNCH channels, effects loop on/off
and serial/parallel, as well as the sound-shaping functions
SPARKLE for the CLEAN and BOOST for the CRUNCH channel.
For more on this, refer to chapter 4 – TRILOGY AND MIDI.
2.7 Speakers
You have one 4-ohm output, a pair of 16-ohm outputs or one
8-ohm output, and a 16-ohm output available for connecting
speaker cabinets of various impedances. Always ensure
cabinets are connect properly. Operating a tube amp with
the wrong impedance or without a connected speaker can
damage it. For more on this, see also the section in chapter 5
entitled How to Prolong Tube Life.

Trilogy™ and MIDI
For utmost handling ease, use SmartLoop™ in combination
with a MIDI-enabled multi effector. This lets you control all
switchable functions of Trilogy™ via MIDI, specifically
• the 4 channels CLEAN, LEAD, ULTRA LEAD, CRUNCH
• the sound-shaping features SPARKLE in the CLEAN channel
and BOOST in the crunch channel
• FX ON and the loop’s SERIAL mode
4.1 Programming
Programming couldn’t be any easier. If you want to save a
configuration such as CRUNCH with BOOST, FX and SERIAL
activated, simply arm Trilogy™ by briefly pressing the MIDI
LEARN button (MIDI LEARN lights up), and then pressing the
desired program number on your MIDI board (or other MIDI
send control). The MIDI LEARN light extinguishes to indicate
Trilogy™ has assigned this configuration to the program
number selected on your foot board.
Now when Trilogy™ receives a program change message
via the selected MIDI channel (more on this below), the
MIDI LEARN LED flashes briefly and Trilogy™ is configured
accordingly.
To discontinue programming without saving settings once
MIDI LEARN is armed, simply press the button again.
4.2 Setting the MIDI Channel and Switching
OMNI On/Off
If you press and hold the MIDI LEARN button for more than
two seconds when Trilogy™ is in normal operating mode, its
LED animates. The flashing light indicates special programming
functions are now assigned to the amp’s buttons and LEDs:
CLEAN
Now serves as an up button. Use it to select the MIDI channel
one-step increments (+1). The factory default is MIDI channel 1.
SPARKLE
Now serves as a down button with one-step increments (-1).
FX ON
Switches OMNI on/off.
x
Note:
OMNI enables reception on all channels. This option is a good
choice if you’re unsure which channel your foot board uses to
send messages.
