How to Use the Boss GT-6 Effects Loop
- 1). Connect the guitar to the Input port of the Boss GT-6 using an instrument cable.
- 2). Connect the guitar amp to the L (Mono) output port on the GT-6 using an instrument cable.
- 3). Connect the guitar effects to be used in the effects chain with pedal cables. The input port on the first effect and output port on the last effect in the effect chain should be open.
- 4). Connect the Send port of the external jack loop on the Boss GT-6 to the input port on the first effect using an instrument cable.
- 5). Connect the Return port on the GT-6 to the output port on the last effect using an instrument cable.
- 6). Turn on the guitar amp and Boss GT-6 guitar effects processor.
- 7). Turn the dial on the GT-6 under the label "OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION" to the setting marked "CUSTOM/EXTERNAL." This will have the processor use the external jack loop in place of the built-in overdrive or distortion effect options.
- 8). Press Pedal 2 on the GT-6 to activate or deactivate the effects loop. The red light on the pedal indicates whether or not it is currently active.
