G. VOLUME CONTROL
Unlike gain, whose adjustment will affect the character
and personality of the sound, the volume simply
controls the amount of signal that gets out of the box.
The Para Acoustic DI will likely be the quietest thing in
your signal chain. So for the best system signal to noise
ratio, we recommend that you run the volume as high as
you can without causing the PA to distort.
L. INVERT SWITCH
Changes the polarity of the signal. When the button is
up, the output will be in phase with the input signal.
Phase affects the way that the guitar top is pressurized
by the loud speakers. When the two are out of phase
with each other, low end feedback will be minimized. If
inverting phase alone does not kill the feedback, use the
notch filter. Phase will also affect the way the guitar signal
mixes live and on tape (especially when overdubbing)
with other instruments.
M. EFFECTS LOOP
This jack provides a send-return on a stereo jack for
outboard effects that allow you to blend reverb, chorus
or other effects in with a dry signal. Use an insert cable
(stereo plug with a Y cable to two mono plugs) to
connect the effect. The tip is the “send” and goes to the
input of your effect. The ring is the “return” and comes
from the output of your effect, and the sleeve is the
ground. You may adjust the amount of effect in the
signal by using the controls of the outboard effect. The
send (tip) of this connector comes directly from the
pure class A discrete input stage of the Para DI, before
the EQ, volume control, invert switch and output driver.

N. GAIN CONTROL
See section 2: Setting the Gain.
O. INSTRUMENT INPUT
When you plug in, the preamp turns on.
With your pickup or mic plugged into the Para DI, and
with the Para DI plugged into your PA or amp, play your
instrument very hard. Turn the gain trim up (clockwise)
slowly while playing until you begin to hear some
distortion, then back the gain off (counter-clockwise)
until the distortion just disappears. This setting will
provide both the richest and cleanest sound. Once you
have determined your preferred setting, we recommend
that you leave the gain control alone.
