Effect Loop (Pink) 225
If Loop Stereo is used in one of the mono effect modules A, B, C, or D, the left and right return signals will be mixed
together.
The "Mix: Pre/Post" option is available in both Loop Mono and Loop Stereo modes and determines whether the Mix
control affects the signal on the SEND (“Pre”) or the RETURN and ALTERNATIVE INPUT (“Post”). Since this makes
no difference in most situations, we recommend leaving the button at the "Post" position, to guarantee the lowest
noise floor.
However, you can use the “Pre" position to create a spillover effect for your external gear while you switch Rigs on
the PROFILER: Load the Rig in which the external effect should be deactivated (but you still want spillover when it's
loaded) > Activate Loop Mono or Loop Stereo > set "Mix:" to "Pre" > turn the Mix control to zero > store this Rig.
Now whenever you switch to this Rig, no signal will be sent to your external effect devices, but their delay or reverb
tail will still be received.
Please ensure that the “Mix” control of the Effects Loop is set to 100%, to avoid coloring the external signal with the
blended dry signal. However, if you prefer to derive the dry signal straight from the PROFILER, then use the “Mix”
control to balance the external signal and the internal dry signal. To do so, you must check that the dry signal is not
passing through the external device. This is usually done by setting the mix control of the external device to
maximum or by using a "kill dry" function to mute the dry signal in a global fashion.
The Loop Distortion is made for connecting distortion pedals to the PROFILER and is only in mono. The feature
unique to this loop, is that any volume boost of a preceding effect will be applied to the DIRECT OUTPUT/SEND
jack, thus driving the external distortion pedal. This is what you would expect, anyway. The regular Loop Mono and
Loop Stereo do this differently: here, the volume boost of a preceding effect will be applied after the return of the
loop. The send level will be unaffected, so the connected effect will not be overdriven. The regular Loop Mono and
Loop Stereo are suitable for all non-distorting effects.
✓ If you want to keep your external effect inserted for all Rigs, just lock the effects loop by pressing LOCK.
