Create a second bus routing
Do one of the following:
m Move your pointer immediately above the Pedal area to open the Router, and click the name of a
stompbox in the Router.
Two gray lines appear in the Router—the lower one representing Bus A and the upper one Bus
B—and the pedal name moves to the upper line. The chosen stompbox is now routed to Bus B,
and a Mixer utility pedal is automatically added to the end of the signal chain.
m Drag a Splitter utility pedal into the Pedal area when more than one pedal is inserted.
This also inserts a Mixer at the end of the signal chain if one doesn’t already exist.
Remove the second bus routing
Do one of the following:
m Delete the Mixer and Splitter utility pedals from the Pedal area.
m Remove all stompboxes from the Pedal area. This automatically removes any Mixer utility.
Remove an eect from the second bus
m Click the name of the pedal in the Router. (You can also click the lower gray line immediately
above the pedal to remove the pedal from the second bus.)
Note: The removal of all eects from Bus B does not remove the second bus. The Mixer utility
pedal remains in the Pedal area, even when a single stompbox (eect) is in the Pedal area. This
enables parallel routing of wet and dry signals. Only when all pedal eects are removed from the
Pedal area are the Mixer utility and second bus removed.
Determine the split point between busses
When more than one bus is active, a number of dots appear along the “cables”—the gray lines—
in the Router. These represent the output (the socket) of the pedal to the lower left of the dot.
m Click the appropriate dot to determine the split point—the point where the signal is routed
between busses.
A cable appears between the busses when you click a dot.
Note: You cannot create a split point directly before or after the Mixer utility.
Switch between a Splitter utility and a bus split point
m To replace a bus split point with a Splitter utility: Double-click the bus split point dot in the Router.
The Splitter utility appears in the Pedal area.
m To replace a Splitter utility with a bus split point: Double-click the Splitter label in the Router.
The Splitter utility is removed from the Pedal area.
Change a Mixer utility position in the Pedal area
m Drag the Mixer utility to a new position, either to the left or to the right.
If you move the Mixer utility to the left, the “downmix” of Bus A and Bus B occurs at the earlier
insertion point. Relevant eect pedals are moved to the right and are inserted into Bus A.
If you move the Mixer utility to the right, the “downmix” of Bus A and Bus B occurs at the later
insertion point. Relevant eect pedals are moved to the left and are inserted into Bus A.
Note: A Mixer pedal cannot be moved to a position directly following or preceding a
corresponding split point or Splitter utility.
