The Effects

auxiliary output the output of the block is simply not connected. Alternatively you can place the
effects loop directly in the signal chain but not connect anything to the
INPUT2 / EFF. RETURN
jack. The Axe-Fx senses if the effects return is not used and then just uses the loop as an output.
To use the effects loop as an on-stage monitor with a guitar amp (or head and cabinet) place the loop
BEFORE any cabinet simulation blocks. For example, if you want to send a fully processed, stereo
feed to the P.A. system and monitor your sound on-stage you would set up a chain like the
following:
AMP - CHORUS - DELAY - REVERB - EFFECTS LOOP - CABINET
Note that the effects loop is before the cabinet. The main output would then be fully processed
including the cabinet simulation. If you were to send this signal to an amp/cabinet combination it
would probably be excessively muddy.
If your on-stage monitoring equipment is full-range then you can place the effects loop after the
cabinet or simply use the un-balanced
OUTPUT1
jacks for monitoring and connect the balanced
jacks to the P.A.
