Because there are several people who speak/understand Russian here:

I recently received this one:

But it's not very clear to me where I have to plug in the expression pedal or which are the in- and outputs (usually they have different labels which I can't find here)

So if someone could translate the labels for me...

Thanks!

Any idea about the difference between Amplifier M and Amplifier EMI?

Is it something like high/low outputs?

No, I don't have the suitcase...

I like the design of a lot of those old Russian/Soviet effects, very "retro sci-fi" :mrgreen:

I think it's (and it's a guesstimate) that they meant Microphone amplifier and Electro-Musical Instrument amplifier. But it's a guess.

EMI means synth (electronical music instrument)
M means mic
