Re: Boss RC50 assignable outputs

[Stuart Masters <stuartmasterz@yahoo.co.uk>]

Thanks, Buzap, that's really helpful. I'll try that and I think I might also try line selctors on both instrument and mic, and send them either to the RC50 or as a 'clean' signal to the front of house. Then use a third signal for the RC50.

 

Thanks again,

 

Stuart
