Mono In - Stereo Out. If you only want to feed the NanoVerb a mono input, but wish to connect both of its outputs back to the mixer, you will need three 1/4" audio cables. Connect a 1/4" phone cord from an effect send to the [LEFT] input of the NanoVerb, another 1/4" phone cord from the [LEFT] output of the NanoVerb to an effect return or other mixer input, and another 1/4" phone cord from the [RIGHT] output of the NanoVerb to an adjacent effect return or mixer input. The Nanoverb creates a stereo output, even though only a single input is used.

Stereo In - Stereo Out. This connection is similar to the one described above. However, by utilizing two sends from the mixer, we add one more cord and can now send a stereo signal to the NanoVerb’s inputs. For example, if you connected sends 3 and 4 to the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] inputs, and had a stereo instrument (such as a keyboard) connected to two channel inputs of the mixer (either one panned hard left and hard right), you would send the left channel to send 3 and the right channel to send 4. This is especially useful on the true stereo chorus program; on reverb and delay programs only a mono input is needed.
