Signal path HX Effects

[itsmeffs]

I would like to see how others are managing to split signal path into fx loop and amplifier input. I have long used my amplifiers fx loop for phase/mod/reverb/delay and my Boost/OD into front of amplifier. Is this best accomplished in application for my HX Effect. I was told to look at 4 cable etc... before I set out to experiment I would like to get honest real world experiences either live/gigs or tracking. I spent significant amount of time working with various pedals/fx to get what I want to come out my amps and as I noted above, I like only my boost/OD (occasional fuzz) into preamp and all the rest thru fx loop. There are a couple boost/OD/fuzz on the unit I can work with and would like to use those into preamp/in and all my HX Phaser/Mod/reverb/delays thru fx loop. 

 

Have not had the HX Effects very long, acquired in a trade and made sense to give it a try...

 

Thanks for any tips, insights ...

Very simple. It's called Four Cable Method (4cm).

Guitar>HXFX Input>Boost/OD/Fuzz>FX Loop Block>HXFX Send>Amp Input>Amp Send>HXFX Return>Mod/Dely/Reverb>HXFX Output>Amp Return

This is the same configuration for all HX devices.

If you need a FOH Send, place a second HXFX Send at the end of the signal chain and use that for the Amp Return followed by an IR Block at the very end of the chain, then use the HXFX Output to a DI and on to FOH.
