Main Index .: Platinum Range .: Penta .: Could I use the Penta side chain connector as a second output?

Could I use the Penta side chain connector as a second output?

Using clever connections with the side chain jack could result in load problems which may damage the unit. Note also that the side chain output is unprocessed.
