How to audio-connect two H9 considering PRE/POST routing?

[dedeman]

I am looking for buying two H9 and want to use them both with one amp(loop), using the four cable for PRE/POST routing.

1. What is the way to connect them in series?
2. What is the way to have them in parallel?
3. Could it be both?

Can anyone share their example of usage? 

Thank you.

Hi there,

I use 2 x H9s and run them in series with each other, both in the mono loop of my amp. I think from memory mine is set up:

H9 #1 : 

Output 1 -> Input 1 on H9#2

Output 2 -> Input 2 on H9#2

Amp FX loop send –> Input 2 on H9#1

Guitar (or earlier pedals) –> Input 1 on H9#1

H9 #2 :

Output 1 -> amp input (or later pedals in chain)

Output 2 -> Amp FX loop return

Input 1 comes from Output 1 on H9#1

Input 2 comes from Amp FX loop send

And how do you use PRE/POST settings in the H9’s?

From what I understand, if H1 preset is set in PRE, H2 preset must be also in PRE mode, which means one cannot be in PRE and the other in POST routing. Am I right?

Not sure why you say that you can't have one in PRE and one in POST.

The main issue with having 2 units used in this way is when you have a parallel effects loop, as it is unclear how bypass should work. (See previous posts for discussion).

My mistake. You are right. It works just fine. I wired them this way and everything is fine! Thank you for support.
