4-Cable Method
Of course, the most exible way to hook things up is with some eects (typically
drives, wahs, and compressors) before your amp's preamp and others (the aforemen-
tioned delays and reverbs) in its eects loop. This is commonly called 4-Cable Method
and, fortunately, your HX Eects device can do this too.
Look for the included factory presets titled with "4CM" to use as your starting tem-
plate, or you can build your own by adding an FX Loop block (see "Choosing an
Eect").
Oh, and if you have two amps, your HX Eects hardware can even do 7-Cable Method
in stereo.

Expression Pedals and/or External Amp Control
By default, the two PEDAL jacks are set up to accommodate an expression pedal
each, with PEDAL 1 automatically assigned to any Wah or Pitch Wham type blocks
and PEDAL 2 automatically assigned to any Volume Pedal blocks. Alternatively, you
can choose one or both PEDAL jacks to act as dual (A=Tip, B=Ring) amp control out-
puts for changing the channels of your amp or turning its reverb on and o.*
To determine whether each PEDAL jack functions as an expression pedal input or dual
amp control output, see "Global Settings > Preferences"

*IMPORTANT! Connect EXT AMP 1/2 only to ampliers that utilize "short-to-
sleeve" footswitch inputs. Connecting to any other sort of input could cause
permanent damage to both your amp and HX Eects hardware! If you're not
sure if your amp has short-to-sleeve inputs, contact the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT! Your ability to control external amp channel and/or reverb switch-
ing with the HX Eects device has been tested with many popular amps and
heads. Unfortunately this does not guarantee compatibility with all products.
Note that, depending on the circuitry of the channel switching jack in the guitar
amp used, the EXT Amp function may not operate as expected.
