Modeler 4-Cable Method Hookup
If using an amp/multi-eects modeler, such as a Line 6 Helix, HX Stomp,
or POD Go device, it is most functional to use the 4-Cable Method:
• Connect your guitar into the modeler’s GUITAR IN.
• Connect the modeler’s SEND to the CATALYST’s GUITAR IN.
• Connect the CATALYST’s SEND to the modeler’s RETURN.
• Connect the modeler’s OUTPUT to the CATALYST’s RETURN.
• Set the CATALYST’s MODE switch to FX LOOP.
• Optionally, connect the modeler’s MIDI OUT to CATALYST’s
MIDI IN for parameter control (see page 10).
