External Distortion with the Voyager

Post by Tron » Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:37 pm

Needed alittle direction on running my Voyager thru a distortion pedal. Instead of running the Out to the distortion In, i was trying to get the distortion effect set up thru the Mix out/Loop or Externa Audio In. Does anyone know any easy to do this. I have a basic Fuzz stomp box that i'm trying to add as an effect to the Voyager. :roll:

I would just use an insert cable to hook the stomp box up in the loop.

You'll need a send/return Y cable.

Take a look at the article on building an insert cable (AKA 'Y' cable) on SquareWave:

The file is called "Mix Out Insert Cable.pdf"

Also, check out "Old Dog, New Tricks", a related article on applying external effects on the Voyager:

There are MP3 examples of some sounds here, too.
