ZED 14 pedal chain

[braisremeseiroParticipant]

Hello,

I am going to buy a ZED 14 and I would like to ask where should I connect the pedals chain to apply effect to the different inputs if I connect a drum machine or a synth.

Best regards.

Generally on one of the POST AUX’s outputs to the input of the chain, and then return into a free channel. Don’t turn up that AUX on the return channel or you’ll create a feedback loop.

Hi Scott,

Pleas, Can you tell me if this is ok and what steps remain?:

In case of use the FX in one device:

1-Plug the FX into INSERT using a TRS (output of the FX) into TS (INSERT) cable.

2-Use the FX’s parameters to send to the insert.

3-Manage the GAIN of the resulting signal.

In case of use the FX in various devices.

1-Plug the FX into AUX 3 or 4 using a TRS (input of the FX) into TS (output AUX 3 or 4) cable.

2-?.

Please, Can you finish this scheme?.

Thanks.

Scott already basically answered your question.

Do not use an insert jack for the effects pedals.

Take the Aux 4 out to the first pedal input, take the last pedals
output to one of the stereo line input channels, use the L/M input if it
is a mono out from the pedal or use both inputs if the last pedal has a stereo
output.

When you say pedals for the effects I assume you mean your standard guitar foot pedal effects, in that case just use standard TS guitar cables for the input output patching.

Thanks Mike!,

ANd What about the INSERTS?.

[ScottParticipant]

An insert will apply the effects to only a single channel. The side chain method that I mentioned above will allow you to apply the effects to multiple channels.

Thanks!.

What is exactly the function of the 2TRK RTN button?.

Please read the manual. Do some research.
