type of situation.
Stage setup and signal flow
The sound from your instrument will be sent to a PA mixer, then the mixed
sound is amplified and sent to the front-of house speakers so that the audience
can hear it. Monitor speakers may be placed on the floor in front of the
musicians so that they can more clearly hear their own sound and that of the
other instruments.
Connect your footswitch/foot pedal, or pedal unit.
For details on using footswitch/ foot pedal, or pedal unit, refer to page 18 and
19. For the function that can be assigned to each pedal, refer to page 92.

In order to be heard, your instrument will need to be connected to the PA
mixer’s inputs. Normally, this connection is made via a DI box (direct box)
located onstage. Connect the AUX OUT [R] and [L/L+R] jacks on the
instrument’s rear panel to the DI box inputs using commercially available
standard mono audio cables.
