Introduction

The FXconnectX StagePro8 system has been designed to provide wirelessly controlled and

transparent True-Bypass audio loop switching technology for pedal boards, guitar/audio racks,

recording studios, or any application up to 200 feet away! “Freedom” from the board! Be

anywhere on stage (or in the audience) and from your finger tips, guitars, or foot controllers

you can now switch amp channels, mute your whole rig, set a tap tempo, and control your

pedals connected to four programmable True-Bypass loops!

This manual will guide you through the use of your new system. We thank you for your

purchase! We are here for you and are available to answer any questions you may have. Please

Operational Overview

The StagePro8’s four true-bypass audio loops can be configured as desired. The loops have

been designed to ensure true audio transparency. Each loop is arranged in series (Loop 1 to

Loop 4). Each loop’s selection is determined by the settings on your Body Pack(s) or Floor

Switch unit(s). Active loops and programmed patches are indicated by the LED’s displayed on

the front panel of the main unit and Floor units.

StagePro8 has a built-in Amp A/B switcher and can be configured for Normally Open or

Normally Closed operation (to accommodate various types of channel switching needs). The

system can also be programmed with “patches” containing different combinations of loops and

external switching combinations (Eliminates the “tap” dance). Each loop can also be set to

operate in Toggle mode (like a normal on/off pedal) or set to momentary mode (to tap a tempo

or similar).

Any time an unused loop is selected (no connections are made to these jacks), that loop will be

in a default full True-Bypass mode and will be totally removed from the audio chain. Loops are

“Half-Normalized” in order to accommodate many connection possibilities.

In the event of a loss of power longer than 3 seconds, or whenever the power switch is switched

off, the unit will default into full True-Bypass mode: Input will be directly routed to Output.

Main Unit Front Panel

 Antenna: The antenna can be removed for storage and repositioned as needed, but when

in use it must be in the upright position (never sideways).

 SER: Serial Jack. An optional Serial Fail-Safe cable can be connected from this jack to

the Serial jack on any single Floor Unit. When a cable is used all wireless functionality is

bypassed. Cables are available on our web site.
