The Stereo Efx Loop - Radial Engineering JX44 V2 Owner's Manual

THE STEREO EFX LOOP

The JX44's Stereo EFX Loop provides the ability to connect to guitar
pedals or rackmount effects processors and share them across all four
instrument inputs. The EFX Loop can also be individually assigned to
each of the amplifier outputs, making it easy to accomodate wet/dry or
wet/dry/wet stage amp setups.
Connections to the EFX Loop are made at the rear panel of the JX44
using standard 1/4" unbalanced instrument cables. The left and right
SEND jacks are buffered outputs that feed the inputs of your effects
devices, while the RECV (receive) jacks take the processed signals
back into the JX44 to feed the amplifier outputs.

You can choose to feed the left or the right channel of the EFX Loop to each of the
JX44 amplifier outputs using the EFX Assign switches on the front panel. For example,
you can have Output-A set to L, and Output-B set to R, allowing for stereo playback
when both amplifiers are active.
Mono guitar pedals and effects can also be connected to the EFX Loop. This allows the
Stereo EFX Loop to operate as if it were two separate mono loops, so you can use the
left and right sides for separate pedal chains and assign them to different amplifiers.

Amp-B: DRY
Connecting guitar pedals to the EFX Loop
When the EFX Assign switch is set to
the middle DRY setting, this means that
neither channel of the Stereo EFX Loop
will be heard at the corresponding amplifier
output; the JX44 will simply bypass your
stereo effects before feeding signal to that
amplifier.
This is useful when you only want the
EFX Loop active on some of your stage
amplifiers. The example to the left shows
a setup that uses two amplifiers to output
effects in stereo, while adding a third
'dry' amplifier with no effects to retain the
presence of the original guitar signal.
If you are using the SGI Loop (detailed on
page 10), keep in mind that your remote
pedalboard effects will still be present on
all amp outputs, even those set to DRY.
