Chaining Effects
Now we’ll see how you can employ multiple effects on a single bus using the chaining feature.
Start in Program Mode by highlighting Program 199 Default Program, then pressing the Effects
button. From the KDFXMode:MAIN page, select Studio 199 Default Studio (highlight the
Studio name, then scroll through the list or press 1-9-9-Enter on the Alphanumeric pad).
With the Studio name still highlighted, press the Edit button to enter the Studio Editor. As
shown below, you can see that there is an empty effects block on this bus and all 4 PAUs are still
available. If you’d like, you can press the Chan/Bank buttons to see that while there are other
empty blocks (although not on FXBus 4, since it is generally used as a dry bus or a pass-through
to the AUX FX), there are no effects on any of the buses in this studio.

Now press the Add soft button to add another empty effects block to this bus:

We’ll use a distortion preset for the first effect in this block. Use the cursor keys to highlight the
first effects block, then select Preset 763 SubtleDistortion:

You can see that the effects block now displays an abbreviation that indicates the type of effect,
while the lines below show the name of the specific effect preset, as well as the bus overrides
defined for this preset. As always, you can select one of the bus overrides and change it to be any
parameter of the effect’s underlying algorithm. You’ll probably want to keep the two overrides
here, however, since they offer useful control over the preset: Wet/Dry lets you quickly adjust
how much of the signal is effected, while Out Gain lets you boost or cut the audio level of this
effect as it enters the next effect in the chain.
