To use as a series loop, turn this control fully clockwise. To use it as a normal parallel loop set it at or near 
the mid point to give the required balance between dry and effect.
If Global is set to Parallel, the normal (dry) signal bypasses the effects loops and is always present. In this 
mode the Mix control sets the level of the effect being used in Effects Loop 1 that is blended with the dry 
signal. Turning the Mix control clockwise increases the level of the effect.

effects loop 2

Depending on the setting of the Master / Channel switch (44) this can either be the dedicated effects loop 
for Channel 2 or an effects loop for all three channels.
It can be switched on and off using the footcontroller.

(44) master / channel

When this switch is set to Channel, Effects Loop 2 will be dedicated for use on Channel 2 only. Effects 
Loop 2 will then only be available for use when Channel 2 is selected, and this will work the same way as 
Effects Loops 1 and 3 work with Channels 1 and 3.
This setting can be used if different effects and/or signal processors are to be used for each channel.
Setting this switch to Master will enable Effects Loop 2 to be used as a master effects loop on all three 
channels. For fairly simple set-ups, with few effects or one multi-processor, this will be the most usable 
setting. 
However, as this is now a Master effects loop, the signal is routed so that if any effects are used in Effects 
Loop 1 or 3, they can still be used on Channels 1 and 3 respectively and will be placed in series before 
Effects Loop 2. 
In this mode, the footcontroller can still be used to turn the individual Effects Loops on and off, with 
Effects Loop 2 available on all three channels and Loops 1 and 3 still dedicated to Channels 1 and 3. 

(45) level

This control sets the level of signal being sent to external effects and/or signal processors from the Send 
jack (46). It is calibrated the same as Level (40) above.
If Channel mode is selected, this will be the level of Channel 2.
If Master mode is selected, it will be the level of whichever channel is on, as well as the level of any 
effects that are being used in Effects Loop 1 or 3.

(46) send

Similar to Send (41) above but for Effects Loop 2. 
It will only send signal if this loop is turned on either with Channel 2 or in Master mode.
