| This may be a dumb question, but...what is the function of the booster jack on the back panel? Is this an input, or an output? |

That's not a dumb question as I have had several players inquire about this jack. The BOOSTER jack is an output that can be used for connecting to any input that can accept a 1 volt nominal audio signal. It's called a BOOSTER output as it is most commonly used to drive the input of external BOOSTER amplifiers.
Hope that this helps.

| Thanks, Mike. Does that also mean that it's intended for use as a "pre-amp out" to a PA channel, as an alternative to mic-ing the amp? |

Yes, it's a usable preamp out, but why use it? When have you ever heard a DI output sound better than a miked speaker? Isn't the speaker an essential part of the voice of the instrument?

| Brad, you're absolutely right -- especially if it's an old JBL. But sometimes you get caught short and have to rig something up in a hurry... |
