Guitar/Bass - To input your electric guitar or bass, plug it in here using a standard 1/4-inch TS
instrument cable. This input also features a Pad switch; engage this switch when using a guitar/bass
with high-output or active pickups, to avoid overdriving the input.

USB - This, of course, is where you connect the supplied USB cable to TonePort, with the other end
going to your computer’s USB 1.1 or 2.0 port. Note that you should always connect to a separate USB
controller channel from other USB audio or MIDI interfaces to provide TonePort with the full USB
bandwidth. TonePort also gets its power from this USB connection, so it should not be plugged into a
non-powered USB hub, or operated on the same USB controller channel with un-powered devices. It
is also recommended to connect directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub.
*Note - be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting and
disconnecting the USB cable between TonePort and your computer, as well as before booting up or shutting
down your computer if TonePort is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your
speakers last, and power them off first when connected to other audio gear to avoid a “pop”.
