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...
