Cascade

Cascade routing also has two processors with two linked

engines, but the output of the first processor is fed into

the second one. In this routing, you have two stacked,

true-stereo effects. Only Inputs and Outputs #1 and #2

are used. Engines #1 and #2 are linked and control the

first processor, and Engines #3 and #4 are linked and

control the second processor.

Stereo

Stereo routing is the most powerful routing type. It uses all

four engines in an ultra-stereo group with enormous

horsepower. Only Inputs and Outputs #1 and #2 are used, and

all four engines are linked into one powerful processor.

When routings are changed, the Quadra/FX reconfigures its internal architecture and

loads in default effects. The preset’s former effects, class, and parameter values are all

replaced.

Start from Preset mode and turn the Encoder to select any preset. Make sure that you have chosen a preset

with a routing that can be monitored in your setup, otherwise, you will not hear the changes that you are

making.

Press the Routing button and turn the Encoder to select one of the four routing choices: Discrete 4, Twin

Stereo, Cascade, or Stereo. You will notice that all Routing LEDs are lit and the currently selected one is

flashing. The Preset / Value Display is blank. Also, notice that all or most Effect LEDs are lit. This shows you

the available effects for each routing. Select a new routing and press the Engine button. You must press the
