All Red Lines Are Cables  
Taking Signal Into OC10 
 
 
All Green Lines Are Cables  
Taking Signal Out Of OC10 

OC 10 Crocodile Tail Loop Setup Utilising Tuner Out And One Loop 

 
 

 

The above setup is using the OC10 in it’s most basic form were the guitar signal is run directly into 
the rear main input jack. 

 

 

The tuner output is selected when the OC10 is in program mode via the top row left hand footswitch 
labelled “TUNER/L10”, when selected this mutes all output from unit except signal running from tuner 
jack output. 

 

 

Loop 1 is being utilised in this example.  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 2 is being utilised in this example to run directly to amp input, OUT 1 and OUT 2 are in parallel 
and are both supplied signal from the input jacks through loops 1 to 7, OUT 1 would be utilised if sig-
nal was required to run directly into IN 8 which is the start of the second run of loops (8,9,10)
