    Closed Input/Output (as FX Loop) blocks bypass (pedals, 4-cable method, etc.)

    When using an external pedal with Out2 and In2 blocks as a pedal loop, it would be nice to have the option of bypassing the I/O blocks and making them act as regular blocks on a preset and not cut the sound when bypassed. Or perhaps add a FX Loop block for this purpose. This would also be...

    I am setting up my AX8 and I plan on running duel outs, one to front of house and one to a cab onstage. My question is does anyone know how to set up my H9 using the fx block in my ax8 and simultaneously retain the ability to run duel outputs described above.

    Wish Add second FX Loop option

    My pedals run mono in my FX Loop. I have a left and right FX loop send and return. It would be pretty great if you added a second FX Loop block that when used would pull audio from L/R send/return as if they were a mono 1 & 2. This would allow me to use an external reverb for huge space sounds...
