Most model categories include subcategories. For example, eects can generally
be mono or stereo (stereo models display the icon). Amp+Cab and Amp mod-
els have Guitar and Bass subcategories. Cab models have single and dual sub-
categories.
Turn the joystick (or move it up and down) to select items in a list.
Press the joystick (or move it right) to view a category or subcategory’s con-
tents.
Move the joystick left to go back one column.
IMPORTANT! If you encounter items in the list that are grayed out or un-
available, this means the current path (1 or 2) cannot accommodate that
category, subcategory, or model. See "Dynamic DSP"

Choosing an Input
Move the joystick left to select an Input block and turn the joy-
stick.
Normally you should select “Multi,” which includes three simultaneous inputs: Guitar,
Aux, and Variax.
TIP: To view a list of available inputs, press the joystick.
Choosing an Output
Move the joystick right to select an Output block and turn the joy-
stick.
Normally you should select “Multi,” which includes four simultaneous pairs of outputs:
1/4", XLR, Digital, and USB 1/2.
If Path 1 doesn't have enough block locations or DSP to accommodate your tone, it
can be routed to Path 2:
Select Path 1’s output block and turn the joystick to select Path
2A.
Path 2’s Input block displays an arrow, indicating it is being fed by Path 1.
If Path 2 has two input blocks, you may select either Path 2A or 2B, or even split your
signal further to both 2A and 2B. See "2 into 1" for an example.
TIP: To view a list of available outputs, press the joystick.
