12. PEDAL/EXT AMP 1-2 Two expression pedals can be connected to the HX
Eects device and assigned to adjust a wide variety of parameters. By default,
EXP 1 is automatically assigned to control and bypass Wah/Pitch Wham type
blocks, and EXP 2 is automatically assigned to control Volume blocks, making
them ready for use with your connected expression pedal(s). See "Assigning a
Controller"
Alternatively, either jack can be connected to your traditional guitar amp to switch
its channels or turn its reverb on and o. Use a TRS cable for dual operation
(A=tip, B=ring). To set this jack's function. See "Global Settings > Preferences"
13. SENDS/RETURNS 1-2 These 1/4” ins and outs can be used as FX loops for
inserting external stompboxes between specic blocks in the HX Eects device
or as inputs and outputs for running 4-Cable Method rigs. See "4-Cable Method"
14. INPUT L/MONO, RIGHT Connect your guitar, bass guitar, or mono pedals
to the L/MONO input. Connect stereo pedals, keyboards, synths, or modelers to
both the L/MONO and RIGHT inputs.
15. OUTPUT L/MONO, RIGHT Use unbalanced 1/4" TS cables to connect to
your guitar amp or other pedals. When connecting to a mono pedal or single amp,
connect only the L/MONO 1/4" jack.
16. MIDI IN, OUT/THRU Connect the HX Eects hardware to your MIDI gear for
sending and receiving program changes, continuous controllers, and other MIDI
messages. (Note that MIDI communication is optionally also sent and/or received
via USB.)
17. USB Connect the HX Eects device to your Mac or Windows computer for
preset management and IR loading via the HX Edit application, updating to the
latest rmware, receiving MIDI control messages, and sending remote Command
Center messages to control various software. Use of a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port is re-
quired - Do not use an external USB hub.
18. DC In Line 6 recommends using only the supplied DC-3G power supply.
19. Cable Tie Wind the DC-3G's cable through one or both hooks to keep drunk
punters from stopping the show.
20. POWER switch It’s alive!
