Order
UsetheOrderparametertodeterminetheorderofthetwoeffects.SettingOrdertoCompressor
=>EQroutessignalthroughtheCompressorfirst,andthenthroughtheEQ.SettingOrdertoEQ

Master FX
TheMasterFXparameterdetermineswhethertheMasterEffectsareenabledorbypassed.
SettingMasterFXtoMasterFXEnabledenablestheMasterEffects.SettingMasterFXtoMaster
FXBypassedbypassestheMasterEffects,andeffectivelyremovesthemfromthesignalpath.
