    Default How to connect Guitar Pedal Effect to a mixer without send/return

    Hello guys,

    i would like to connect the Boss DD7 Digital Delay or the Behringer DD400 Delay Pedal to my mixer.

    Unfortunally my mixer doesnt have send/return holes. Also, as i saw from many pics, the pedals have different holes for cables and not RCA.

    Also, i was wondering if is possible to use cable converters in order to connect everything.

    My mixer`s interface is this: http://www.123dj.com/mixers/pioneer/djmt1back.jpg

    thank you very much for helping

    Yep! You'd go:

    Mixer>XLR-TRS Cable>Pedal>TRS-TRS Cable>Mains
    Pioneer XDJ-RX//Rekordbox & Ableton Push 1//Ableton 9 Suite
    15" MacBook Pro 2017//Quad Core i7 @ 3.1GHz//16GB RAM//1TB SSD//AMD 560 4GB GPU

    thank you very much, you saved me

    i just didnt understand well, could you explain me exactly the procedure?


    my mixer has the 2 channel input line/phono, the MASTER 1 output in XLR, MASTER 2 output in RCA, BOOTH output.

    the delay pedals usually have in and out as you know.

    could you please explain me?

    i would be very grateful i`m searching this from 1 month over the net...

    He's saying to run the pedals after the mixer's output and before your amp. You'll need an cable that goes from XLR to TRS to connect the pedals.

    You have to connect the mixer (Master 2, OR Master Out), FX pedal and then your amp or speakers IN SERIES.

    Hint: You will ONLY use EITHER Master 2 OR Master. One should be completely disconnected.

    Master 2 (RCA) > (TRS) Pedal (TRS) > Amp/Speaker
