Please explain it to me like I’m a total beginner… Or send me to a previously posted thread (I searched, didn’t find anything… But, I can’t be the first to ask this).
I want to run my QC, like I’ve used it for the last year, with the XLR to the FOH.
But, I want to be able to run a 1/4in to the FX loop return of my tube amp without the Cab/IR block on that output.
How do I do this?
I should probably just copy my main presets to a new bank so I don’t affect those for when I don’t need to use an external power amp.
Your cabsim needs to be last in the chain. Then put the effects send block right before it to create a “branch out” of the signal before it hits the cabsim
I load up amp blocks, overdrive, noise gate on Row 1. Then I send it to Row 3.
On Row 3, I usually have a couple more modulation, delay, and/or reverb blocks, along with an FX Loop (I use external pedals).
After that, I split the signal. Row 3 goes to Output 3 for my power amp + cab. Row 4 has an IR block with some additional EQ and light “glue” compression at the end, to Output 1 & 2 (like I said, I run my signal in mono; so I get two copies of the same output signal), out to FOH.
You can use an FX Send to go to your amplifier, but you don’t have to.
