Nodes
The beginning/end of an effects chain or the intersection of two effects chains is called a “node”:
•
Input node
is the beginning of an effects chain that sets signal input source
•
Output node
is the end of an effects chain that determine where the signal outputs to
•
Split node
separates one effects chain into two and sends separated signals in a certain way that determined by node
settings, appears on chain A only
•
Mixer node
mixes two effects chains into one and outputs in a certain way that determined by node settings, appears on
chain A only

Effects Chain Basics
The upper effects chain is called effects chain A (or simply “chain A”), the lower chain is called effects chain B (or simply “chain B”):
The signal flow direction is fixed from left to right:

Notice that the upper chain is always chain A, the lower is always chain B,
regardless of chain type
Effect Slots
Effect slots (or simply “slots”) are spaces located on an effects chain for adding effects. Ampero II Stomp features 6 slots on one
effects chain, 12 slots in total. Slot numbering is shown below:
