 [[AMT Electronics]] E1 Engl emulator preamp. This pedal is not only an emulator of the lead channel from the Engl Fireball, it is also a preamp in its own right and must be handled like a preamp so you can avoid using it incorrectly. The most important means of doing so is noticing that there are two output jacks: one for instrument-level output, and another for line-level output.

 === Pre-amp ===
 The E1 is not just a "pedal" in the technical sense that it creates distortion. It is also a pre-amp. As a result, it creates a line-level signal that can be output into the power amp section of any instrument amplifier, or, alternatively, can be directed into a general power amp. This differs from many simple distortion pedals that only alter an instument-level signal and that therefore subsequently require an additional amplifier pre-amp section so as to be boosted to line-level that is then appropriate for being fed into a power amp.
+* The "Cab Sim Out" is the output jack closest to the top edge of the pedal and is the line-level output.
