WARNING!
Do NOT connect anything to the RELAY jacks until you read the WARNINGS in
IN [PRE] (INSTRUMENT IN)
(Unbalanced 1/4" Jack)
Connect your guitar (or any instrument level
source) using a regular guitar cable here. You
can also connect the output of other guitar
pedals or anything else that's designed to be
used in front of an amp. This jack feeds signal
only to effects designated as "PRE".
OUT [PRE] L/R
(1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve Humbuster™ Jacks)
The output of effects designated as "PRE"
appears at these jacks. You'll typically connect
to the MAIN (GUITAR) INPUT of an amp,
preamp, or modeler using Humbuster™ cables.
Humbuster™ Technology on all OUT [PRE] and OUT [POST] jacks can significantly reduce ground
hum, common in guitar rigs. It requires a special cable you can make or buy. (See p.
IN [POST] L/R – (Balanced 1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve Jacks)
Connect the FX LOOP SEND of your amplifier (or the output of your separate preamp) here to feed
signal to any effects designated as "POST".
OUT [POST] L/R (1/4" Tip-Ring-Sleeve Humbuster™ Jacks)
The signal from effects designated as "POST" appears at these jacks. You'll typically connect to the
EFFECTS LOOP RETURN of an amp (or the input(s) of a separate power amp) using Humbuster™ cables

A NOTE ABOUT [PRE] AND [POST] I/O
The various input and output jacks of the FX8
are labeled [PRE] and [POST] because the FX8
has two fully independent effect chains. You
place "PRE" effects between the guitar and amp
like traditional stompboxes, and "POST" effects
in the amp's FX loop. You can use either or both
of these paths, and the next section covers how
to create the setup that works best for you.
