Facts about the audio path

The I/O is on three different faces

Send and Return are on the left side, MIDI and headphones on the right, and everything else on the back. Plan your pedalboard for cables leaving three sides.

9 V at 3 A is not a normal pedal supply

Most isolated supplies cannot deliver three amps from one output. Line 6 recommend the supplied adapter only.

TRS out to XLR gets you to the desk with no DI

The quarter-inch outputs are balanced on TRS. A pair of TRS-to-male-XLR cables runs straight into a mixing console.

The returns can become a permanent aux input

Global Settings > Ins/Outs switches the Return jacks from the effects loop to an unprocessed stereo aux in. Set the preset's Input block to Main L/R to play along with anything.

The factory presets tell you what rig they are for

Names beginning FX are effects-only, 4CM are four-cable-method, DIR go direct to a powered speaker, and BAS are the bass rigs. Start from the prefix that matches your setup.
