Routing Map

The MPX G2 allows you to reconfigure the effect blocks along audio paths of

 

your own design. The Routing Map is a graphic display that shows routing and

 

connections between the MPX G2 effect blocks. Use the Routing Map to change

 

connections between individual effects and also to change the overall routing

 

configuration of all seven effect blocks as a group. All of the routing controls

 

available in the Routing Map menu are explained in this section, along with

 

examples of the selections you can make. Remember that you can change the

 

order of the effect blocks as well. (See Effect Ordering on the previous page.)

 

In these examples, we'll use the default effect order to keep things simple.

 

Before going into the details of the Routing Map, it's worthwhile to review basic

 

signal flow through the MPX G2.

 

The overall signal flow through the MPX G2 is divided into two paths: a pre-gain

 

path and a post-gain path. The six DSP effect blocks (Effect 1, Effect 2, Chorus,

 

Delay, Reverb and EQ) can be placed in any combination on either the pre-gain

 

or post-gain portions of the audio path.

 

The position of the Gain effect block in the Routing Map determines the

 

boundary between the two paths. The pre-gain path is made up of the Gain effect

 

block and all effects on the path that connect to the inputs of the Gain effect. The

 

post-gain path consists of all effects on the path connected to the outputs of the

 

Gain effect block.

When you want to connect the G2 to external guitar amp or other gear, it is important to understand where the Send and Insert Returns are in relation to the Routing Map display. The Send jack is permanently connected to the path at a point immediately following the Gain block outputs. The Insert Return jacks are permanently connected to the path at a point immediately following the Send.
