Introduction
Congratulations on buying your MIDI/LOOP & SWITCH LS12/2
Our effect loops guarantee:
- perfectly transparent sound
- ultra-clean sound thanks to using passive components
- signal to noise ration comparable to CD quality recording s(102dB)
- no dynamic loss
- full bandwidth
- silent, click-free switching, even in high gain level
- MIDI compatibility ( CC# Control Change and PC# Program Change )
- two relay contact closures (S1-S2) for devices utilizing switch to ground
functions
- high grade low noise ( INPUT 1 ) line buffer
- alternating or direct current operation
LS12/2 is equipped with 12 effect loops, 2 switches ground separated,
LS12/2 is controlled by MIDI CC (Control Change) and MIDI PC ( Program Change )
commands over 16 MIDI channels.
LS12/2 is compatible with any type of MIDI controller capable of sending CC or PC midi
commands, but to ensure proper operation and maximum effectiveness we recommend using
MLC MARK L controllers.
The effects loop can be hooked up with:
-12 mono effects (12 effects plugged in before the amplifier)
-12 mono effects (12 effects plugged in the amplifier’s FX LOOP )
By dividing the loop into two sections we can plug in:
- 12 mono effects (7 before the amplifier and 5 in the amplifier’s FX LOOP)
- 5 stereo effects (5 left channels to loop 1-5 and 5 right channels to loop 8-11) achieving 5
stereo loops for 5 effects
- 7/5 or 5 MUTE EFFECT (in pair with a line mixer)

In case this option is not used, receptacles OUT1 an IN2 are bridged inside the device. The
same applies to receptacles LINK OUT and IN1.
The rear panel also features two MIDI IN receptacles used for processing the foot pedal
signal and a MIDI THRU OUT, a bypass, thanks to which we can hook-up an additional
midi device which we want to control with the same device as the LS12/2
MIDI IN has built-in power supply for all MARK L controllers, you need not plug in every
controller separately.
To change the channel (1-16) use the rotary dial on the rear panel.
