Connecting to the Main Outputs of a mixing
console:
In addition to channel inserts, most mixing consoles have main
insert jacks near the main outputs. You can use insert cables to
connect the Faze to the main L/R bus the same way you connect it
to a pair of channels. Simply connect one insert cable to the left
main insert of the mixer, and connect the two mono jacks to the
left INPUT and OUTPUT of the Faze. Use another insert cable
to connect the right main insert to the right INPUT and OUTPUT
of the Faze.
Alternatively, you could plug the mixing console’s main outputs
directly into the Faze’s inputs, then feed the Faze’s outputs to your
monitor amps or mixdown recorder. However, with this method
if you fade down the volume at the end of the song, the sound
quality may change as you fade. That’s why it’s better to use insert
jacks, if they’re available.
Connecting to the Effect Send/Return of a
mixing console:
Since the ModFX boxes don’t have a wet/dry mix control, they’re
designed more for in-line processing than the send/receive kind of
processing typically used for reverb units. However, plugging the
Faze into a mixer’s effect send/return loop will allow you to phase
a mix of several instruments, from any mixer channel that has its
effect send raised.
To do this, connect a single cable from the Effect Send Out
(sometimes labeled “Aux Out”) to the [LEFT/MONO] input of
the Faze. Use two separate cables to connect the [LEFT
OUTPUT] and [RIGHT OUTPUT] of the Faze to the left and
right inputs of a stereo Effect Return, or to two adjacent mixer
channels panned to left and right.
