FX Loops
Lets you switch FX 1 or FX 2 outputs to Hi-Z (high impedance) to integrate guitar pedals (“stomp boxes”), many of which expect a
high-impedance signal at their input. When using rack mount or other Line level devices in MBOX effects loops, disable these settings.
Hi-Z Out to Amp
(Ground Lift)
Enables a ground lift (also known as “earth lift”) on the front panel Hi-Z Out to Amp output. If you are connected for re-amplification
but there is excessive buzz or other electrical noise, try enabling the Ground Lift.
Hardware Surface
These settings let you control how MBOX looks, and how its top panel does or does not affect MBOX Control.
