Hello, everyone! Apologies ahead of time for the lengthy post.
I’m rebuilding a pedalboard with the PBC10, but there are a couple things I’m a bit unsure of.
1. I have a Decimator II G-String noise suppressor, but I really do not want it to take up any loops if I can avoid it. It's an always on pedal for me. I did quite a bit of digging and I believe this should work, but I’m not entirely certain:
Out from Volume Pedal to Decimator “Guitar In” > Deci. “Guitar Out” to “In 1-4” on the PBC > “Out 1-4” to Deci. “Decimator In” > Deci. “Decimator Out” to “In 5-6” on the PBC.
Will this allow for the Decimator to affect all pedals in Loops 1-4 without taking up a loop of its own? Additionally, would there be any similar configuration that would allow the Decimator to affect Loops 1-6, as opposed to only 1-4?
2. I’m new to junction boxes. Ideally, I would like to get a junction box that allows me to auto-reroute all loops to the front of an amp when there is nothing connected to the FX inputs running to and from the amp’s FX loop on the box. I usually go straight into the front of the amp, but sometimes use an amp with an FX loop. Would the way I drew this up in the diagram below work? If the diagram is too confusing/cluttered, I can clarify more! (I’ve included a diagram of the FOA routing if this is not possible).
Thanks y’all for your help!
