This is an example for guitar amp connection. If you use one amplifier, simply connect the OUTPUT jack of the GM- 200 to the input of the amplifier, using a shielded mono cable. To send the output of the GM200 to two amplifiers, use a Y cable (splitter). On the guitar amp, you should use the clean channel input with no equalization.
