4.4 Effects Suggestions
Now that you have your basic Preamp/Power Amp/Speaker setup let's start evaluating effects
configurations.
Digital Multi-Effects Unit
You probably want to patch your most versatile multi-effects unit into the
master effects loop so that you will have it available for use with any channel.
Chorus, delay, and flanging effects will work great here.
Stereo Digital Reverb
Patch your stereo digital reverb into the reverb effects loop for a studio reverb
sound in full stereo. Make sure you set the mix control to 100% effects.
Stomp Box Effects
Your floor effects boxes will work great in the individual channel effects
loops. These four effects loops are always "on".

The table below contains some basic control settings that you might try.
4.6 Connecting to Another Guitar Amp
There may be occasions when you wish to connect the Quad X-Amp to another guitar amp so
that you can use that amp's power amplifier and speaker. In these situations we recommend that
you connect the preamp output from the Quad X-Amp to either the power amp input or the
effects return input of the other guitar amp in order to bypass that amps fixed equalization
circuits. The instrument input of the other guitar amp should only be used as a last resort
because this would result in the other amps fixed equalization being added to the fixed EQ used
in the Quad X-Amp.
