 

In setup 3 we utilise the buffer circuit, 4 loops from loops 1 to 7, loops 8 and 9 and loop 10 as a Ctrl 
switch to switch channels on our amplifier. 

 

 

Utilising the Buffer circuit will give the signal increased strength and retention of clarity, primarily this 
circuit is designed for running longer cable runs and running through multiple effects units which ulti-
mately can lower signal strength and dull the top end of the signal. 

 

 

Loops 1,2,3 and 4 are being utilised in setup 3.  loops 1 thru 7 are internally connected so signal from 
main input will always be running to OUT 1 and OUT 2 whether pedals are connected or not. 

 

 

Out 1 is utilised in setup 3 as it is the most conveniently placed to run signal into the input of Loop 8  

 

 

In setup 3 you can see that the echo unit in Loop 8 is connected via the S8 (Send 8) and R8 (Return 8) 
sockets, the signal is then sent via a short patch cable (Linked) from OUT8(N.O) to IN9, if this is not 
done no signal will be running into loop 9 as loops 8, 9 and 10 are not internally connected and do not 
pass signal through to the next loop unless they are connected together.

 

 

 

Repeating the same method used to connect the echo, the reverb in setup 3 is connected via the S9 
(Send 9) and R9 (Return 9) sockets, the signal is then sent via OUT9(N.O) to the amplifier input

 

 

 

In setup 3 we are using loop 10 to switch our amplifier channel via S10(N.C) send socket, this we are 
doing with a mono cable (Standard Jack Cable or Speaker Cable will both work fine for this purpose), 
using S10(N.C) assumes that the Normally Closed (N.C) send socket is best suited for this amplifier 
meaning that when the relevant button on the OC10 panel for loop 10 is not lit the amplifier would be 
on the clean channel and when the button is pressed for Loop 10 and is lit then the amplifier would 
have switched to its drive channel, if this works in reverse when tried use the OUT10(N.O) Normally 
Open socket instead of the S10(N.C) socket.
