Setup Examples
Four Cable Method (4cm)
The four cable method allows you to use effects in different stages
of the signal chain (pre and post) in conjunction with an amplifier
and cabinet. The Quad Cortex will be used as an effects processor,
therefore the Presets created for this purpose don’t need amp or
cab device blocks. This method allows you to place pre effects
tools such as overdrives, noise gates, and pitch shifters before the
amplifier. Post effects such as reverbs and delays will sound after
the amp.
You will need four TS cables for making the connections:
1. Add an FX Loop device block. Choose
FX Loop 1
.
2. Add device blocks before and after the FX Loop block.
3. Set the output block as
Out 3
.
1. Connect your instrument to
INPUT 1
.
2. Connect
OUT 3/L
to the amplifier’s FX return.
3. Connect
SEND 1
to the amplifier’s input.
4. Connect
RETURN 1
to the amplifier’s FX send.
