Now, that’s pretty impressive. But it isn’t everything, not by any means. What really
makes this Configuration so interesting to work with is the extreme flexibility of the
routing.
Take another look at the diagram. In addition to the strictly linear flow written just
above, this Configuration also offers:
•
A Mix section that lets you combine the outputs from any or all of the first five
Effects, in any combination, prior to routing the result to a global stereo EQ
attached to the [MAIN] outputs.
•
A fader-balanced open second input on the Pitch effect that can be connected to
any one of the following: either the undistorted Send 1 or your choice of totally
unprocessed Sends 2, 3, and 4.
• A fader-balanced open second input on the Delay effect that can tap any of the
four Sends just mentioned, or the Overdrive’s output, or the Pitch effect input.
• A fader-balanced open second input on the Reverb effect that can be connected
to any of the four Sends just mentioned, the Overdrive’s output, the Pitch effect’s
output, or the Delay effect’s input.
• A fader-balanced open second input on the Lezlie that can be connected to any of
the four Sends, the Overdrive’s output, the Pitch effect’s input, the Pitch effect’s
output, the Delay effect’s input, or the Reverb effect’s input.
Whew. That’s a lot to play with!

In normal operation, the final output of an Effect is mixed back in with the original
Program or Mix, so that what you hear is a combination of the two. In some
circumstances, however, you may want to play only the Effected sound. Or perhaps
you want to split up a Program tonally by playing one or more of its Sounds only
through the Effect. Here’s how to do that:
1) Go into Program Edit mode.
2) Assign the Output parameter of the Sound/Program to OFF.
3) Assign the Effect Bus of that Sound/Program to one of the four Effect Sends.
4) Adjust the Effect Level as you wish.
