9 : BLOCKS GUIDE
THE RELAY BLOCK
As detailed in Section 4, two onboard TRS relays allow the FX8 to control switchable functions of a
connected amp or other device. The Relay block lets you use a footswitch to manually (pedally!) operate a
relay. The RELAY 1 block (RL1) operates relay 1, and the RELAY 2 block (RL2) operates relay 2.
RELAY BLOCK PARAMETERS
The relay block is simple.
When the footswitch is o the relay is o. Nothing is connected. The LED is o.
A single parameter,
RELAY ON, allows you to specify the state of the relay when the block is switched on.
When the footswitch is ON, you can select whether the TIP, RING, or BOTH are shorted to the sleeve.
With X/Y, that’s a total of three settings accessible from one footswitch (OFF, ON-X and ON-Y).
NOTE: When a Relay block is added to your preset, the FX8 ignores CONFIG page programming
for that relay in that preset. You can still program the relay per-scene, however, in exactly the same
way you would program any other eect per-scene. Change to the desired scene, set the relay
block as desired using your foot, and store the preset.
Setting What’s Connected?
TIP Tip to Sleeve.
RING Ring to Sleeve.
BOTH Tip AND Ring to Sleeve.
WARNING! Do NOT connect anything to the RELAY jacks until you read the WARNINGS in Section 4.
