Effects Loop (Lead Channel 2)

Once the basic connections have been made you may want

to experiment with the effects loop that is built into channel-2.

Inserting effect pedals into the lead channel can add a huge

amount of versatility. The possibilities are about as endless as

there are pedals. Insert an echo or reverb to expand the acoustic

space. Try a phaser or chorus to set your solos apart from the

rhythm channel. Or place all your pedals in the Trimode's effects

loop and start experimenting with combinations of effects. This

feature can be exploited to achieve a unique lead tone with

professional results.

To use the Trimode’s effects loop you will need an insert cable.

Insert cables are commonly used to insert an effect into the

channel of a mixing console. An insert cable uses a TRS ¼”

connector (set up as tip=send, ring=return, sleeve=ground) at

one end and two standard ¼” mono jacks at the other end.

After you have pedals inserted in the Trimode's effects loop, the

beneﬁ ts will become apparent: You can prep several pedals and

engage them simultaneously along with your lead sound with

just one footswitch stomp. You can also remove noisy pedals out

of your signal chain until they are needed.
