SHOULD YOU USE ONE OR TWO INPUTS TO EFFECTS?

If your effect unit has two inputs, in most cases you only need to

connect from ONE Aux Send to the LEFT (mono) INPUT of the effect

unit, but you will still connect both the LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTS of

the effect to the Stereo Aux Return.

You may not need to connect anything to the right input of the effect, since many

effect units use it only if the effect is connected directly between an instrument and

an amplifier. In most mixing applications, you will set the effect’s wet/dry balance

all the way to wet. The effect device will generate an artificial stereo output from the

signal input. Check the manual for your effect device for more information.

On the other hand, true dual-channel effects processors (such as the Alesis Wedge

and Q20) should be connected to two different sends to take advantage of the dual

processing capability.

Tip:Using MONITOR 1/2 as effects sends: Note that Mon 1 and 2 may be used as

extra effect sends while mixing by connecting eight jumpers from the DIRECT

OUT to the TAPE IN of each Channel.

Using the Stereo Channels as Effects Returns

Alternatively, you may return effects to Channels 9 - 16. By connecting the stereo

outs from the effect device to the L and R inputs of a stereo Channel, you now have

the ability to “mix” the effect’s level with the fader like you can with the signals on
