Connector Cables
4.2.3
As mentioned above, a preset’s INPUT must be connected to its OUTPUT in order for that output to produce any
sound. Blocks (including shunts) create the
components
of a chain, but these still need to be
connected
to one
another for signal to “flow.” This is done using routing connectors, commonly referred to as “cables.”
Figure 4-4 – Two otherwise identical presets shown WITH and WITHOUT connector cables between the blocks.
The second example above would produce NO SOUND as nothing is “wired up” to pass signal to the output!
If a preset is unexpectedly silent, inspect it carefully for one or more missing cables.
A key concept to understand is that every connector/cable is
stereo
. The grid allows 4 full stereo paths, and
most blocks are stereo in/stereo out. Even blocks which process audio in mono (like AMP or DRIVE output in stereo
and have a left-right BALANCE control. The Effects Guide (p.
) covers the mono/stereo capabilities of each block
type in detail. For now, remember that
every connector/cable is stereo
in and of itself.
