stomping on an effect to turn it on or off; the StagePro8 will now switch your effects into
and out of your audio chain for you at your command.

Chain together any combination of effects on any single loop. There is no limit to how
many effects can be used on a loop. The same rules apply to signal integrity as if the
effects were hooked up directly to an amplifier’s main input or effects loop. The audio
and signal characteristics of the individual pedals/effects still apply regarding
impedance, coloring, pedal ordering (which one goes first, etc…), buffering, etc…

For effects that are intended to be used on ALL loops simply insert that effect in the
chain prior to the main signal input coming into the StagePro8, or alternatively, place
these effects after the StagePro8’s output. This depends on how you prefer your chain
and sound. There are many possibilities.

Sample Generic Pedal Order Scheme: Guitar, Tuner, Pre-Amp, Compression,
OD/Distortion, Noise Gate, Pitch Effects (Octave, Harmony, etc.), Modulation Effects
(Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, etc...), Delay Effects, Reverb.

Sample 1 Channel Mode Selection Switch Settings
 Given the above chain, each of the above channels are intended to be part
of a patch. Set each channel’s Mode to the PATCH (Center) position on
each Remote unit intended for use. Mute is always on channel 5 and
should be set to Toggle or Momentary (your preference). TS1 is on channel
7 and TS2 is on channel 8.
