Return channels 1/2

These are stereo input channels used mainly to input the return signals from inter- nal effects 1/2. However they can also be used as supplementary input channels by changing the input signal assignments of the input patch section.

The structure of these channels is identical to that of the input channels, with the exception of the following differences:

1Stereo

BNo dynamics processor

CNo direct output

DNo AUX 7 send level from return channel 1

ENo AUX 8 send level from return channel 2

Tip!

Since return channels 1/2 are stereo, selecting MIC/LINE INPUT or OPTION IN as input signals will cause two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered signals to be assigned. Also if DIGITAL STEREO IN is selected, the signals of both L/R will be assigned.

•The reason that return channel 1 (2) has no send level to AUX 7 (8) is to pre- vent the feedback loop that would occur if the signal returned from internal effect 1 (2) were sent back to the same internal effect.

•Be aware that the AUX 7 (8) send level is not available even if a different input signal is assigned to return channel 1 (2).
