3.1.3 Cable Selection
In certain circumstances, it is desirable to match a guitar cord to a specific
instrument. One may use the otherwise undesirable qualities of a cord to one’s
advantage, if one has the time and patience to experiment with different cords and
guitars. This should be done while playing with your band, or while recording.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell a component’s true advantages until it is used in the
right context. A guitar that has very piercing highs could theoretically be tamed
down somewhat by using a long guitar cord that offers some high-end attenuation.
The loops of your Schmidt send signals at higher levels and impedances, which
makes this section of wiring less sensitive. You should still use reliable and good
quality wiring for all loops.

3.2.1 Send/Return Loop
The system consists of a loop which can be run either in series or in parallel with
the signal. Use good quality cables to run your fx unit. Turning the “Mix” pot to
100% means that the loop is working in series – all the signal goes out of Schmidt,
thru your fx unit and back to the amp. Using lower settings of the “Mix” pot will
increase the original, unaffected signal of Schmidt. Setting the Mix pot to 0 results
(even if the amp is hooked to a fx unit) the original signal. Good results with delays
and reverbs can be achieved by setting the Mix-pot to 20-30% - and (!) setting the
fx unit (level) to full wet. If you don’t do that, you may run into phasing issues,
which sounds strange.
