ADDITIONAL NOTES

If you plan to use your guitar amp in conjunction with the SESSION I/O, simply connect either one of the outputs of the SESSION I/O audio interface to your amp to run a mono setup. To get a true stereo setup, connect both SESSION I/O outputs to your amp. If you experience ground loops or noise, a DI box between the SESSION I/O and your amp can help to alleviate this problem.
