Bus Routing

Backbone provides a flexible two-bus output routing. Each of the busses can host up to four effects.

The Amp section of each layer can be sent either exclusively to one bus or to both of them, with adjustable levels. This way, you can realize complex effect combinations and routing scenarios.

On the Bus Routing menu, you can choose between five routings. Click the Bus Routing button to open the menu.

Serial

In this mode, the output of the FX 1 bus is mixed into the FX 2 bus. This way, you can use up to eight effects in series.

Serial 2-4

With these configurations, the output of the FX 1 bus is mixed into the FX 2 bus, after the first, second, or third effect of the FX 2 bus. This allows you to use one, two, or three effects exclusively on the FX 2 bus without processing the output signal from the FX 1 bus.

Parallel

In this mode, the two busses are treated separately from each other and are mixed before they are sent to the plug-in output. This can be useful if you want to use different effects for the tonal and noise layers, for example.

The signal flow is shown in the routing diagram in the routing section.
