Hi guys, I was just wondering...Why on earth you can't just go from the Fx send / return straight to your amps send/return when wanting to use fx only without amp sims? !! This 4 cable method is driving me insane. How hard can it be ? guitar > guitar in on pod 1/4 jack out on pod > amp input fx loop send on pod > fx loop return on amp, fx loop send on amp > fx loop return on pod. Am I missing something here ?
