EffEcTS LooP (fX-LooP)
CONTINUED . . .
The EFFECTS LOOP has a MONO SEND and a STEREO RETURN . All processing before
the EFFECTS LOOP is MONO . All processing after the EFFECTS LOOP is STEREO .
Connect the MONO SEND to your external effect processor input, and connect the
outputs of your external effect processor to the AMPLIFIRE STEREO RETURN jacks. If
your external effect processor has a MONO output only, you may connect it to either
of the STEREO RETURN jacks. (when only one return jack is connected, amplifiRe
will automatically split the return signal into dual-mono mode from either
return jack.)
The EFFECTS LOOP is switchable so you can switch the inserted effect on or off .
You can do this by assigning the EFFECTS LOOP control to a FOOTSWITCH (see
FOOTSWITCH section below). You can also program each preset to have the EFFECTS
LOOP on or off, so that some presets could use the loop effect while others don’t.
If you connect nothing to the EFFECTS LOOP STEREO RETURN jacks, the EFFECTS
LOOP is always off. In this configuration, you may use the SEND jack as an alternate
amp modeling direct MONO output .
The EFFECTS LOOP can be configured as MUTE SEND or MUTE RETURN (spillover).
In MUTE SEND mode, turning off the effects loop only mutes the loop send, allowing
any remaining delay or reverb tails in the loop to properly decay (spillover). In MUTE
RETURN mode, the effects loop acts like a traditional loop, immediately muting the
returns and cutting off the loop right away .
The EFFECTS LOOP can be configured as an AUX INPUT mode (see GLOBAL
SETTINGS sections below). This mode allows you to connect a music player or
backing tracks which are mixed (unaffected) with your main outputs. In this mode, the
EFFECTS LOOP position setting has no effect .
If you have the AUX INPUT mode selected, then AMPLIFIRE will disable the EFFECTS
LOOP, routing the output of the AMP MODEL effects block directly to the POST-
EFFECTS section. AMPLIFIRE will also mix the RETURN JACKS with the MAIN and
AUX outputs, to allow full-range blending of the aux input with your playing.
On the AMPLIFIRE, the EFFECTS LOOP can also be configured as EXPRESSION
PEDAL mode, allowing you to use expression pedals (with a special adapter cable,
available separately) to control effect parameters in real-time. (See EXPRESSION
PEDALS section.) This mode does not exist on the AMPLIFIRE12 because of the
dedicated EXPRESSION inputs .
