Signal Chain Editor

The Signal Chain Editor gives you a visual view of every effect in your current preset and lets you add, remove, reorder, bypass, and configure effects without ever opening a menu.

Opening the editor​

Click the Signal Chain tab in the navigation bar. The editor shows your current chain as a horizontal row of effect blocks, with your guitar entering from the left and the output on the right.

Adding an effect​

  1. Open the FX Browser panel on the left side of the editor.
  2. Effects are grouped by category: Amp, Cabinet, Drive, Dynamics, EQ, Delay, Reverb, Modulation, Pitch, Utility.
  3. Click an effect to add it to the end of the chain, or drag it to a specific position between existing nodes.

Removing an effect​

Click the × button on any effect block. The node is removed and the chain closes the gap automatically.

Reordering effects​

Drag an effect block left or right to change its position in the chain. The surrounding blocks shift to make room.

Bypassing an effect​

Click the bypass toggle (the power button icon) on any block. The block turns grey and the signal passes through it untouched. Click again to re-enable it.

Adjusting parameters​

Click on an effect block to expand its parameter controls:

  • Knobs — click and drag up/down, or double-click to enter a value directly
  • Sliders — drag left/right; double-click to enter a value
  • Dropdowns — click to open the option list

Changes take effect immediately as you move the controls — no need to confirm.

Selecting a model or IR resource​

Some nodes — the NAM Amp Model and IR Cabinet — need a resource file to work:

  1. Click the resource picker button (folder icon) on the node.
  2. The resource browser opens. You can browse your library or your local files.
  3. Click a model or IR to load it into that node.

Creating parallel paths​

To split your signal and process it through two separate paths simultaneously:

  1. Add a Splitter node from the Utility category.
  2. The Splitter fans out to two paths. Add effects to each path independently.
  3. A Mixer node is added automatically at the end of the parallel paths to combine them back.

Use this to blend two different tones, or to keep a dry signal alongside a wet effect path.

EQ visualizer​

When a Parametric EQ node is selected, a frequency response curve is shown beneath the controls. The curve updates in real time as you move the band controls, giving you a visual guide to the EQ shape.

Saving your chain​

Changes to the signal chain are part of the preset. Use Save Preset (or Save As) in the Preset Browser to preserve your current chain and all parameter values.
