The insert effect is a multi effect unit that contains a number 

There are three types of algorithms: mono input/stereo 

of single effects such as compressor, distortion, and delay, 

output, stereo input/stereo output, and mono input x 2/mono 

connected in series. Each of these separate effects is called 

output x 2. This difference will affect the signal flow when the

For the insert effect, you can use up to six effect modules 

simultaneously. A combination of such effect modules is
