The Boost feature will always come directly after the FX Loop in the PZ-Pro signal path, as it is also affected by the FX Loop Assign switch. The diagram below shows the three settings of this switch and how they change which inputs are affected by the FX Loop and Boost.
A Loop On switch is also provided on the left side of the PZ-Pro, which allows the FX Loop to remain active at all times, so you can control your effects pedals individually using their own footswitches.
The Ground Lift switch disconnects pin-1 audio ground on the XLR output, which can help reduce hum and buzz that occurs due to ground loops. If you encounter ground loop noise when the PZ-Pro is connected, engaging the Ground Lift on each connected output can help alleviate this issue.
