This diagram shows a configuration with the Mastermind PBC/6X switching 7 pedals in front of an amp. In a basic configuration like this,
the insert loop (INS S and INS R) can be used as an additional pedal switching loop. Or, it's an ideal place to connect a volume pedal if
you have one. The amp's channel switching is also controlled by the PBC. Most amps that have 1/4-inch switching jacks and a 1 or 2
button footswitch can be controlled by the Mastermind PBC/6X.
For more wiring diagrams, please refer to the Mastermind PBC/6X manual, available on our website (www.rjmmusic.com/downloads).
