External effects
The X-9 can send signals to and accept return signals 
from an external effects unit.
Such a unit can be connected using the 
SEND
 (to the 
effects unit) and 
RETURN
 (from the effects unit) 
jacks. 
If the effects unit is only capable of accepting a mono 
input, read the documentation supplied with the 
effects unit, and make the appropriate connection to 
the 
L
 effect 
SEND
 jack of the X-9.
If the effects unit is only capable of producing a 
mono output, read the documentation supplied with 
the effects unit, and make the appropriate connection 
to the 
L RETURN 
jack of the X-9.
NOTE
The return from the external input cannot be output 
from the digital output.
To use the external effects unit 
Turn the 
EFFECT IN
 knob to select the 
signal that will be processed by the 
effects unit: a program (
1
 through 
4
), the 
microphone signal (
MIC
) or the master 
mix (
MST
).
Adjust the input level to the effects unit 
and the output level of the signal from the effects unit 
using the controls of the external unit.
Turn the effect loop on and off with the 
EXT 
EFFECT
 key (it lights when the loop is active).
It is also possible to use an external effects unit 
through the footswitches (see “Footswitch assign-
ment” on page 18 for detail
s of this menu setting 
(
08Ft)
)).
TIP
For a strange effect, you can send and return the left 
channel of a program through one effects unit, and the 
right channel of the same program through another 
effects unit with different settings.
