Using the internal effects (M-164FX and M-164UF)

M-164FX and M-164UF units have an internal effects capability that allows the use of an effect without connecting an external effect unit.

These internal effects can be applied by sending signals from channels 1–6, 7-8 and 9-10 to the AUX 2 bus. The return signal can be sent to channels 13-14 or 15-16.
