I heard he's got one he uses only in the studio. But can you tell why there is two plugs in it? In low gain and high gain as well. Could be that one is not plugged anywhere at all on the other end? Really doubt it. Or it's just my eyes or winap? o_O

If you have two plugs going into the 5150, it defaults to the low gain channel.

If you plug a footswitch into the low gain one, with a guitar into the highgain, you can switch between the two via footswitch ;). I'd probably say that's what it is.

why wouldnt he just plug it into the footswitch?

and whats up with the old high/low gain inputs on the old 5150s? do the new ones just default on high or something
 
Low gain has less... well... gain to it. Not as hot as the highgain input. The footswitch for the 5150 alone doesn't change the input, just the channel.

If you change the channel, as well as go into the low input, it can make the cleans a hellof a lot better.

does it mean you can run stomps in parallel if you got DI with two outs?
