ok i for some reason cannot download the manual to this thing...ive had it for a while now and i love the thing...but what the hell is the line out/in jacks in the back realy used for?? cuz i have been using it as an effects loop and it works fine...is this a bad idea or what? and my main quetion is what is it realy supposed to be used for???

A line out is supposed to be for sending a signal direct into a board or mixer.

oh mine says, out--- (+8dbv)---in , but i dont know...my amp doesnt have an effects loop...and when i use this...it actualy works as one...i sometimes run a sonic maximizer in it...and sometimes i set up my effects pedals in it...should i not do this??cuz, this is the only way i can run these things...fuck what am i going to do now????

The AOR's came two ways, one version had a preamp out and power amp in jack, this is not a loop. This is for sending the preamp signal out to a slave amp or running an external preamp into the AOR. The other version had an effects loop.

well that would cost some time and money. id rather just buy a newer model sometime soon..so should i totaly stop using the jack's in the back as loop ?am i gonna screw up my amp like that.?.cuz so far nothing has happened..and it works and it sounds good. and would the built in effects loop on boss ns-2 do anything for me? how do you set that up? ive never messed with the ns-2 effects loop. im just curiouse about effect loops and shit. by the way thanks for the replies guys.

You're not going to hurt the amp. It just won't sound as good as a loop would.

i wonder why it works tho...but thanks...i just didnt want to hurt the head. im thinking of buying a new amp that has an effects loop and footswitch and a bunch of great tone.

It works because they both do the same thing, take the signal out after the preamp and return signal before the power amp section of the amp. The difference is the loop will knock the level down to instrument level so it's the proper level an effects pedal expects to see and a loop has a return amp to boost the signal back up. A loop has buffers also so the effects don't load down the signal.
