36To record reverb onto a track : Switch theASSIGN switch to L-R, and adjust thecontrols for the sound you want. Rememberthat stereo signals must be recorded ontotwo tracks to keep their "stereo" effect.To hear reverb in the headphones but not recordthe reverb : Set the ASSIGN switch on thestereo channel being used for returningeffects to the right/MON position, turning upthe LEVEL control on the stereo channel inuse.Mono returns: A special feature of the STEREOINPUT allows continuously variable controlbetween left and right if desired: a mono effectconnected to 7/MONO will go to 7-8 LEVELcontrol if nothing is plugged into jack 8.Patching effects to an input channel: There's nolaw that says the output of an effects devicemust be plugged into a STEREO INPUT,either. They can also be plugged into LINEINPUTS just like any other source, if you arecautious about one thing: make sure theEFFECT controls of those channels are set tothe off position (turned all the way to theleft). Otherwise, you will be sending theoutput of the effect device back to itself,which is a kind of feedback. If the effectdevice is a digital delay, feedback has thesame effect as a regeneration (number ofechoes) control. An advantage of returningeffects to a main channel is that you can EQthe effect return.How to Connect Your Effects DevicesThere is no absolute "right" or "wrong" way to dothis—there are several ways, each with its ownconsequences.CHORUSLEFT/MONO RIGHTINPUTSLEFT RIGHTOUTPUT
