HX Effects as a Traditional Pedalboard (Pre Effects)
Most people will use the HX Eects unit as a traditional eects "pedalboard," straight
into their amp. The HX Eects device can optionally feed a second amp for stereo
operation.

HX Effects in your Amp's Effects Loop (Post Effects)
Some guitarists prefer to place time-based eects such as delay and reverb (some-
times called "post" eects) between the preamp and power amp sections of their
amp. If your amp has an eects loop, the HX Eects device can accommodate these
setups with ease, with or without additional pedals (such as overdrive, fuzz, and com-
pression) before the amp.

NOTE: The eects loops on most ampliers run at instrument level. If your amp's
eects loop happens to run at line level, you should set the inputs and outputs of
your HX Eects device to line level as well. See "Setting Proper Levels"
