module 2 output, this is connected directly to the module 1 input.
F) Module Input
Connect Module 2 input to guitar output using a mono jack cable.
You can use module 1 with your amp loop connecting amp send to module 1 input.
G) Module Output
To use all 8 loops before the amplifier only connect module 1 ourput to amplifier input. In the case of wanting to use pedals before
and after pre-amplifier, connect the module 2 output to the amplifier input and module 1 output to return of the amplifier.
H) Effect Loops
Connect effect pedal input into desired loop send, and its output into loop return. The connection between the loops within Dsh4
pedal is performed serially (from the loop 8 to 1 ).
I) Booster / Loop 1
The loop 1 is internally connected to an analog booster, whose volume can be controlled in each bank. If you do not want to use it,
connect an effect or stomp box into the loop 1 to bypass it.
