Audition is all about convenience. Do away with having to pull
pedals off your board or even pull it all apart just to try a new
mono or stereo effect. By using Audition as an insert point you
can test out new pedals with absolute ease.
Furthermore, you can configure your pedal board with Audition
to instantly switch between the two and four cable methods.

Mono Audition Point
All connections are made with standard TS patch cables, available here:
https://goodwoodaudio.com/product/patch-cable-designer/
In the diagram below Audition is between two mono pedals.
Any pedal connected to Audition’s send and return jacks will be
inserted between these two pedals.
Stereo Audition Point
All connections are made with TRS Y insert cables, available here:
https://goodwoodaudio.com/product/trs-dual-mono-cable-designer/
Connect Audition between two stereo pedals using TRS Y cables,
and then use two more TRS Y cables to insert a stereo pedal into
your signal chain. Be sure to keep track of left and right.
Mounting under an angled pedal board
Audition can also be installed under an angled board that has side
panel connections. Insert Audition where you want it in your effects
chain and connect the send and return jacks to your pedal board’s
side panel jacks. The bypass button can then be used to turn the
audition point on and off. This is particularly important when you
permanently connect Audition’s send and return jacks to your pedal
board’s side panel jacks as this creates an open loop.

Automatic switching between two and four cable method
In the diagram below Audition is connected directly after the last
pedal going to the front end of the amp and directly before the first
pedal in the amp’s FX loop.
When using an amp with an FX loop, connect Audition’s SEND to
the input of the amp. Connect the amp’s FX loop send to Audition’s
RETURN jack. Finally connect the last pedal in the chain to the
amp’s FX loop return.
If an FX loop isn’t being used, don’t connect anything to Audition’s
send and return jacks. Signal will automatically route from the IN to
OUT jacks.

Power Pass Through
Audition can also be used to pass power from your power supply
to the pedal you want to Audition. Audition itself is NOT a power
supply for your pedal. Make sure to use centre negative power only.
Any pedal connected to the power pass through is then connected
directly to your power supply. Check the manufacturer's details for
your pedal to see which outlet of your power supply is appropriate.
You can still power a centre positive pedal by using an adapter.
