4. 4-Cable Method connection
GE250's FX Loop supports connecting to an amplifier via the 4-cable method. In this setup, the GE250 can play the
role of stompboxes in front of the preamp section and effects added after the preamp section. For example, wah,
compressor, pre-EQ, pitch shift, and drive might be the pre-stompbox effects while modulation, delay, and reverb
are the post-stompbox effects.
Here is the setup procedure:
● Turn on the FX LOOP module. Turn off AMP and CAB modules.
● Set FX LOOP to Serial.
● Press DISPLAY to enter effects chain display. Move the pre-stompbox effects in front of the SEND and move the
post-stompbox effects after the RETURN.
