Types of Chains

1. Series Chain
2. Dual Chain
The Chain Edit mode allows you lo select how effects are connected as well as what
effects are used and their order.
In the A1, the pattern in which effects are connected is called a Chain, A box in which an
effect is contained is called an effect box, and a Chain is a linked pattern off effect boxes,
as illustrated below. There are 9 types □( effect boxes, each with different capacities
ranging from size 1 to 9. (Size \ being the largest and 9 the smallest.) You are allowed to
place any effect into an effect box as long as it will fit.
Example:
A stereo effect can be assigned to a mono box and a mono affect can be assigned to
a stereo box. See the separate 'EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS" for effect sizes.
The 50 Chains provided in the A1, are divided into 5 categories, each distinguished by
the way in which the effect boxes are connected.
In a Series Chain, effect boxes are arranged sequentially from output to input.
In a Dual Chain, the left and right channels are completely independent of each other.
