Distortion devices are not designed for use in an FX loop. As
a rule of thumb, any kind of device that compresses the sig-
nal should be connected first in the signal chain. Depending
on the type of effect you want to achieve, you may want to
connect your compressor directly
between the instrument and the amp’s input.
If you are using several processors or stomp boxes, ensure
you connect them in the proper order.

4.3 TH E METROVERB AND MI XING CONSOL ES

If you want to feed the METROVERB’s signal to a mixing conso-
le, we recommend you route it through a Hughes & Kettner
RED BOX. Patch the signal from the LINE OUT jack, as this signal
path’s level is not influenced by the MASTER setting. The RED
BOX balances the signal and simulates a speaker cabinet.
