Serial vs. Parallel Routing
Formanyguitartones,aserial(onestereopath)signalowismorethanadequate.
For example, our 8 TEMPLATES > 01A Quick Start preset has a volume pedal, wah
pedal, Amp+Cab, reverb, and looper, but there's still room for distortion, modulation,
and delay blocks:
Formoresophisticatedtones,aparallel(twostereopaths)signalowcanbecreated.
This lets one split the signal into two stereo paths, process them separately, and mix
the two paths back together.
1. Select the Amp+Cab block and press ACTION to pick it up.
2. Move the joystick down.
The Amp+Cab block is moved to a newly created parallel path B (lower).
In the illustration above:
Our guitar signal goes into the Volume and Wah blocks.
The signal is split to path 1A (upper) and path 1B (lower).
Stereo path 1A (upper) is sent to the Reverb and Looper blocks and Stereo path
1B (lower) is sent to the Amp+Cab block.
Stereo paths 1A and 1B are merged together after the Looper block and sent to
the Multi Output.
3. Press ACTION again to drop the Amp+Cab block.
This preset probably doesn't sound ideal. A more appropriate tone may have paths 1A
and 1B each with an Amp+Cab block, only to merge again before the Reverb...
...or maybe a single Amp block splitting into two separate Cab blocks...
...or two separate Amp and two separate Cab blocks...
...or two separate Amp blocks merging into a Cab > Dual block.
Remember, this is only half of your tone. You still have Paths 2A and 2B to play with!
Removing Parallel Path B
To remove path B, simply clear any blocks on path B (lower) or
move them all back up to path A (upper).
