You can download NUX Audio File Converter to change the audio file format and make it compatible for JTC Pro. (It doesn't process the audio signal, it changes the file ID and JTC Pro can recognize the file to play. Main file must be wav or mp3 format, please check the support page for converter guide)

Advanced Output Options and Frequency Optimization (FR ON/OFF)
JTC Pro has 2 outputs and there are several output modes; a stereo connection to two amplifiers, or you can activate the speaker cabinet simulation for Right Output to send your guitar signal directly to a PA system or PA speaker.

When you connect to any guitar amplifier or PA system you will hear a full range and dynamic drums, still, if you are using a small practice amplifier there is an optional drum frequency optimization. It makes the drum sounds more clear and helps you to get a real looper experience with the smaller amplifiers.

You will find a guide about Output routing and Frequency Optimization on the support page.

External Footswitch Input
