8. Using the Separate Loops
１）Effect Loops
When the five series loops provided aren’t enough for your system, the separate loops can be used as additional series loops.
Connect the input signal (the output from the preceding series loop, for example) to the IN jack, and connect the send jack (S-6,
S-7, or S-8) to the input of the effect unit. The output from the effect unit is then connected back to the corresponding PEC-2
return jack (R-6, R-7, or R-8), and the OUT jack is connected to the next loop or device.
２）Output Selector
This type of connection functions as an output selector, switching the input signal to one of two outputs. When the loop is on
“Output 1” is selected and “Output 2” is muted so that crosstalk and noise are eliminated. When the loop is off “Output 2” is
selected and “Output 1” is muted. Connect the input signal to the IN jack, the send jack (S-6, S-7, or S-8) to one amplifier or
other device, and the OUT jack to the second amplifier or other device. Leave the return jack (R-6, R-7, or R-8) unconnected.
３）Input Selector
In this configuration the loop functions as an input or source selector, selecting one of two input signals to be fed to a single
output. When the loop is on the “Input 1” signal (IN jack) is switched to the OUT jack. When the loop is off the “Input 2” signal
(RETURN jack) is switched to the OUT jack. Leave the send jack (S-6, S-7, or S-8) unconnected.
４）Output (Send) ON/OFF Switch
A separate loop is also an ideal way to simply turn a signal on or off. When the loop is on the input signal is output via the send
jack (S-6, S-7, or S-8), and when the loop is off the send jack output is muted. This is a handy way to turn a D.I. send on or off.
